[Last Chance *SZX*]

Interesting.

It's not really my style, so I'm having a little trouble feeling the music, but there's definitely skill here, and nuance.
Is this from a specific video game, or is it a personal creation?

Som3oneZX responds:

Personal creation. While making this I was thinking "What would fit a dramatic moment in a game?" This was the result.

[Wrath of the Shapesnatch]

There's something weird about the way...

...the drums and everything else match up.
Zany song, it's the sort of music you could get in a groove for and just listen to for hours on end.

[Termina Field 8-Bit]

Pretty neat.

I don't like a lot of 8bit, but this came out nicely.

[When Im With You - F-777]

Simple yet eloquent

Like a wise man of few words, whose simple statements reveal worlds.
Very pensive at times, this piece sounds like it should be sad, and yet it is most markedly not so. If anything, it is uplifting, reflecting the title of the piece.

The minor crescendos add a lot of feel to the music as the sweeps pulsate through, carrying the listener along in wave of sound to an elegantly pristine conclusion.

[He's a Pirate - F-777 ReMiX]

Wow. Amazing.

Great piece. All the instruments come together well here. While the sounds are very typical of your style (you are defined as a style now, by the way, all great artists are), there is a lovely influence of the original spanish percussion.

[Missing You - F-777]

Great idea, great song.

Some of the best musical pieces of all time are composed by artists in love.
This piece has the feel of loneliness and longing -- and for all its strength is strangely empty. I suppose that is intentional.
The only thing I might wonder about is that the emptiness is occasionally slightly destructive to the power and emotion of the song.

[Destructo Dance - F-777 (Prev)]

A taste of the foreign...

Pretty nice for a demo. The quality is a bit messed up, I'm assuming that's because it is just a sample.
The feel of this song is that it is influenced by other areas. Speaking of which, why do you use the US itunes store if you live in China, but are canadian?

[Wander of Thought - F-777]

Interesting musical meanderings

I didn't expect it to be so long, but the length, I'll admit, does allow for several variant themes to emerge quite nicely.
I definitely recognize those first few seconds from some other second of yours, right up through the beginning of the trance, though. I notice you tend to reuse elements of successful songs, and it accomplishes its goal well -- people like to hear what they like.

I can't say it's your most perfect song, but it's quite nice, even majestic at parts [2:00]. And the transitions are excellent.

[\Psychedelic Remix/]

Dude, this is fucking amazing!

I like this even better than the original.

Really nice job, I can't even find anything to criticize, except it gets a little empty in the middle. But it's still really, really nice.

Adamaja456 responds:

thanks man! yea i really wasn't sure how to approach the middle so im not 100% happy with that whole transition, but im glad you heard the original so you can compare them :D thanks again <3

[Voyage of the Star Mariner]

Well,

The primary melodic instrument is not bad, but the melodies of the bass and secondary instruments are odd and clash with the primary, which also has some atonal properties to it that should be fixed.
The drum beat also needs a lot of work, you need to figure out how to make it really back up the song instead of getting in its way.

Bacon92 responds:

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when I plan to remix it.
