[When a Tear is Shed - F-777]

Definitely awesome.

Like you mentioned, a bit different than what you normally do, but that doesn't make it bad, quite the reverse. I won't say this is the best kind of work you do, but this song definitely is among the top. I wasn't expecting much at first, and the beginning is a bit weak and the elements that make it up don't really match themselves. Part of it seems to be lead in elements for the rest of the piece, while the rest is trying to set a mood - those two bits clash slightly. But only a bit, and very shortly that is remedied when the main part kicks in. From that point onward it is extremely amazing, especially between 1:51 and 2:05 and the ending part, but the whole thing is great. Love the bass with the melody in the late 2:00s!
Great as always, my friend.
Take care, and definitely let me know when you do other stuff. I know I missed a couple over the summer, but I was really busy working then (12-16 hour shifts), so I didn't really have the time or energy. Sorry. I'll definitely catch up on them soon. I'm looking forward to hearing them, I'm sure they're equally awesome to everything else you've done.

Wow amazing review =O....thanks so much it means a lot to me =D!!!

[R.I.P. I Love U(betterQuality)]

Good stuff

Nice piano, strings worked nice and subtly.
Good job all around, though I think the melody was a little out of wack, and the bass was off tonewise.

[4 AM Dance Mix--_--]

Daaamn!

Awesome stuff...really an epic dance beat, something you can dance to for a long while.
Man, teach me how you do this stuff! Make me your disciple!!!

[Judgement at Heaven Gate]

Good...

But I know some of that stuff was in Classical Breeze, try not to repeat patterns. Definitely was some original stuff here, though. I'm not sure I got the imagery out of it that you were trying to convey, but I still get the theme.
Very peaceful at the end.

dontxthemusic responds:

Aucutally I tried not to repeat patterns, but its just hard with the limited music selection I had. Plus I thought it suited this song as well. The two sort of went hand in hand in my mind... I guess I should go back and sort of state that..

[Beat of industry]

Interesting and good

I can't say this is superb like your other stuff, but it's definitely...interesting. And I love that you create such varied styles and ideas, it's really great.

dontxthemusic responds:

Sincerely,

[First Piece EVER]

Really nice!

My first introduction to your music was with classical breeze, I'm looking at your other ones only afterwards. This piece would be amazing even if were made by an experienced artist. That this was your first piece is a truly incredible statement of your talent.
This type of song is not usually my type, but I still really enjoy it. Especially the first half or so, which sounds like it could have come straight from the anime Death Note.

dontxthemusic responds:

Omg i LOVE Death Note! Too bad i never finished the series lol. Gosh..your really making me want to cry with your reviews! If you ever need anything let me know! lol btw I use lol WAYYYY to much sorry, its an IM habit. Yea I was basically screwing around with one of those free programs off the internet when i made this. lol. I just now got the good one, beat of industry was the first one made with it. So I hope to just keep getting better!
sincerely

[Classical Breeze]

Wow.

I am truly stunned. Speechless. In absolute awe.
When I first started listening to this, I was a little skeptical...it seemed a little...weak. And then I noticed, it's a little long, too...not sure I want to listen to all of that. And as is usual in these cases, I was about to navigate away. And then I though, you know, I owe it to myself and to the creator of this music to give it a real shot.
So I did - and that's how I fell in love with this piece of music.
I just want to say, I'm so glad I stuck around and listened to this, it must be one of my favorite song ever now, and I'm not one to take that lightly.
This song...has it all. Is not random, but is not monotonous or overly repetitive, either. Has fast paced, slow paced, fun, sad, dark, happy, and myriad other parts that not only have their individual beauty but their combinations as well.
I could get into the individual details of this song here, but it would take a bit of effort, if you care to have my detailed opinion, please feel free to let me know, not that I would expect you to need my opinion or anything, but just so you know. Plus I think I would run out of room if I tried to review this in detail.
Suffice it to say that this is an epic piece of music, and I mean that in the sense that it was used before it became a cliche.
Eight minutes and twenty-five seconds of pure glory, of a mix of beauty that outshines most songs this world has known. What an amazing piece, what an amazing group of different moods and styles.
On a personal note, I happened to be listening to this song one time around (I listened to it four or five times, at least), while conversing online with some of my friends about a bit of painful drama. Your music, by chance (I think), fit just perfectly with the moods and word usages that were occurring during our chat.
I don't suppose this is of any importance to you, I just wanted to let you know that this fan, at least, found in this piece a beautiful accompaniment to his life.
Thank you, and please, please, please make more.
Your new die-hard fan,
OneWhoListens

dontxthemusic responds:

OMG thank you sooo much! I seriously am like SOOOO happy you enjoyed it!! Music is my passion, and it makes me feel so good to know that I can create something that other people who enjoy music can appreciate! thank you so very very much for taking the time to listen to it and for taking the time to write the review! One thing is, do you know where I could get more instruments and such to use? {I've been looking and can't find anything, probably becuase im a girl who just turned 15 on June 15th and who is brand new at this therefore have NO clue what to look for. lol}
<3&peace
Ever grateful,

[Get Lost in a Trance]

Damn good stuff!

This is really awesome, fun to listen to, could hear it for ages without getting tired. Love the warping synths and near pure reliance on synth, it's great.
A really stunning combination of sounds that comes together perfectly into a superb song!

DJAtomicPyro responds:

Thanks yeah im not really one to create music i really just threw this together in about 2 hours. look for more to come soon

[Morality of a Caterpillar]

Pretty cool

Fairly basic and simple, but still nice to listen to and that's what counts.

[We Filled Nora]

Ingenuity at its best.

I can't say I like the music that much, it's simply not my style. But this is obviously very nice work. You recorded some good sounds and put them together incredibly well. Nice.

alienredwolf responds:

Thanks man. Weirdly, compliments mean more to me, coming from someone who doesn't enjoy the music.

Thanks again. Made my day!
