Meh.
Everything sounded a tad dissonant, especially the bells, strings and horns. The song was also very systematic, it flowed like a soldier's march, rather predictable and plain. It also could have been louder, but overall it was alright and entertaining to listen to composition-wise. I'll give ya a 4 out of 5 for this one.
Yeah I know what you mean! this isn't one of my best tracks, but I try!
Thanks again for your review!
Peace Out!

Interesting song.
I think it would have been better if you traded in some synths for orchestral elements, like string ensembles or french horns. It also seems not to be EQ'd so well, everything mushes together and it isn't very clear. It is kinda fun to listen to though and composition-wise it is good.
true, i didnt eq this one so well, but I did use an orchestra.
(notice the timpani and string combination)
Weee! ^_^
I suppose you want a 5 for this so that it's rating will be high enough to get on the first page of the dnb charts... well I can do that :D! You also get a toffee, it was a pretty cool song. Your drum samples were niiiceee. The melody was lively, and fun to listen to. I'm not sure I could say that there was anything bad about this song, although I do wish you would have used more elements than just bass, drums and bells.
Kay, that's about it, if you could drop my page and vote on "underwater chills" and "dnb simplicity" that'd be great, I really don't care if you review, so don't feel like you are obligated to.
And while here, I think I'll listen and vote on some of your other songs, I never really ever took the time to check out audio page before :)
"Doooo yoooou caaaapeeee?"
She says it in such an aroused and constipated manner, it made me LAWL all over my the keyboard. Anyhow, the song isn't exciting or that interesting before the damaged drums and scratches come in, then it really kicks off. So I'm giving you a 5 just because of that part, since it really pwned.
By the way, you reviewed my "Submerged Storm" song 7 months ago and then taking your advice into account and some of my own ideas, I finished it and retitled it to "Underwater Chills." Maybe you'd like to check it out.
Hehe. Yeah, it´s supposed to really kick in when the beat drops, I love those stuff... :) The slowed samples are slow so they make the song slower, and then when the skratching starts and the beat hits, it feels like its speeding up.
I´ll go check ur song when i get the time mate!!!
Thanx alot for the reveiw.!
Oh baby!
This song was hella rough, fiesty and dirty. I can see it as the background music for one extremely kinky porn video, but since it's suppose to have something to do with gangster wars I suppose it'd be better suited for a kinky gangbang war porn video ^_^ Awesome damaged drums too, very sexy. The ghostly acapella was also great. I give this song 9 black leather pants out of 10, good work.
Fiesty and dirty. That's how I like 'em. However, porn was not my motive here...despite my deparate addiction to the stuff. Haha, gang bang is my specialty. Did you know that the "damage" you speak of is created simply with over-compression/limiting and a noise gate? Cool eh?
I'll see your 9 pants and raise you 4 double sided dildos

La de da de daa
There are things I like and do not like about this piece, I'll start with the good stuff first! It's a very floaty and carefree kinda song, the instruments play so freely of each other and yet they still fit together to make something coherent, it's quite calming and enjoyable to listen to. This is a good song to get lost in and imagine yourself gliding through the clouds. Did I mention flying frogs will be accompaning you on this cloudly adventure? I only say this because the second time the chorus comes around you use a bass that sounds like a frog croaking! I'm not sure whether I like the idea of flying with frogs, they cramp my style :P Another thing that I wasn't so fond of was the slight dissonance through out the song, I think it was the pad you used which just constantly sounded "off" to me. But beside those things it was a pretty diverse and solid piece with interesting and fun percussion work. Good stuff ya got here.
I'm not sure I can hear frogs. But I love that you can. It would be cool if everyone heard something different. That pad is pretty intense...It has a bunch of timbres that resonate at a really high Hz, it filled in that range for me.
I'm gonna go glide through some clouds right now, if you know what I mean, haha!

AHHHH!!!
This track is so close to perfect that it's almost... AHHH!!! Anyways, you had fantastic samples, beat was great, the vox and guitar were awesome but the bass and tuba/trumbone were dissonant and over powered! You put too much reeverb on the bass, it really took a lot from the song's overall quality. The tuba/trumbone wasn't that great either, since it was too dissonant :( You need to remake this, this can be a really great song if you worked out the kinks.
I love that jazz.
Thanks kirizzle my nizzle, I'll go back and work it up a bit. Want to take some sound design classes and get better speakers too to get things flowin right. Enjoyed listening to your tracks btw =)
Bloody Eargasmic!
Jimbalaya batman! This was fantastic, and to think you did it in such a short time too, I am very impressed. This had me eargasm in every which way, fowards, backwards and a little to the left.
I think you should make a song out of the phases which doesn't follow the digits of pi, it still sounded good while doing so, but I'd like it to have a more concrete structure and flow, rather than being random (or almost random).
Although it was slightly repetitive, the composition was so good that it remained entertaining nonetheless! Twas magnific, Khuskan! Magnific!
Five outta five and a download.
Ahh, you see? Thats part of the art.
It sounds random, in every musical sense it IS random, but in reality, it isn't. Pi is a set number, there is no randomness about it, as Pi is always the same.
The repetitiveness of some parts and randomess sounding mixes of other is actually nothing to do with me. I just composed the phrases, maths put it together for me ;-)
Yes, i'm trying to work my way out of all your comments with every ounce of buillshittery I have left.
Whaa..
There is something about this song... it's just so catchy for some reason... I can listen to this forever, and I guess that's what the ideal song would be like, a song that can be listened for eons and eons without the listener getting bored. Good job Black-Zenon-Noise-san.
5/5
I like.
I liked the intro except that the opening pad you used was a little too "rough" sounding and I thought something smoother would have been better suited. (By rough and smooth I mean... uhh, for example: sawtooth = rough and sine = smooth, you get it.)
I also liked how much you varied your beat! I noticed you phased back in and out of twostep, goldie and some of your own custom stuff, it was really fun to listen to. I personally would have liked if you made the bass kick louder, but it sounds fine the way it is now.
When you went into the funky section of the song, with the freaky (square/sawtooth?) synth and trumpets, it reminded me of my junglist idol, Dj Fresh! I love his silly style of jungle and for you to even come close makes this song 5-worthy.
The bell solo, which lasted for about the last minute of the song, seemed a bit rhythmically random to me. I suppose I just didn't like how you syncopated it, although the bells, themselves, did sound nice.
As a matter of file size and bitrate, I thought you set the bitrate too high, I'm sure the song would have sounded just as good at 160kbps as 219kbps.
Anyways, to wrap this up, you did a great job Khuskan. I also wouldn't mind hearing more DNB/Jungle from you in the future, the DNB section of the AP needs more creative artists that are will to make music outside the box and go for something different than the typical hardcore, dark and griddy style DNB.
An awesome review, thanks for stopping by.
As for the filesize issue, I saved it as a variable bitrate file. For NG, I always try to get my tracks as close to the filesize limit as possible to garuntee maximum quality.
The bell solo was completely live recorded, with no quantisation. I did try to quantise it, but it took away the natural playing feel that I wanted for it.
Maybe I'll come up with a few more things like this ;-)
