[Rig - Demo Reel 2011]

You've so found the ultimate power.

I'd venture to say this is my favorite track I've heard this year, even if it is just a demo reel. The first song was great, and it reminded me a bit of "Still Blastin'" by NemesisTheory. Love the transition into the second song and its incredibly low bass line. The third track had a very cool, collected, and mellow vibe, with some very phased and enjoyable keys. The fourth track was very danceable, with a solid but simple bassline and enjoyable groove. I enjoyed the ambiance of the fifth track, too, but I definitely enjoyed the sixth track the most; it was freaking awesome while it lasted.

Overall, this is an incredible showcase of your musical ability and variety. Keep up the great work, Rig.

P.S.

I'm glad to see the return of the "ULTIMATE POWER!" Freaking awesome and hilarious!

10/10, 5/5.

Yours truly,

Thanks, man - I'm glad you think the demo reel works!

[Digital Recreation (recut]

Love it!

FIrst of all, this song was a notable improvement from the original, in many ways. The intro was a little strange and darker sounding, considering the rest of the song is very poppy, but it still broke up the monotony of the original. The synthesizers seem crisper, particularly in the bridge and solo, compared to the first cut. The whole song gives a strong J-pop feel, which I love. The only thing I would suggest is maybe adding more bass and different sounding keyboards (some of them sound just a bit too similar for my taste), and possibly having a more complicated or at least louder drum track. Maybe even a few guitars would make it sound more like a J-pop or anime opening theme. Some vocals would just make this song all the better, I would say. Still, I'd have to give this song a ten: it's so catchy and upbeat, yet kind of downtempo at the same time. Keep up the good work, and I hope the project goes well; it's hard finding a satisfying mix, or even a good singer, for that matter. I'll look forward to it, A.J. 10/10, 5/5.

Wow, thanks for the great feedback! Yeah, I'm pretty terrible when it comes to programming drums, so they can definitely use a boost. I also agree, the vocals will be better. The synth that's playing the melody right now will be taken out when I finally decide on lyrics for it (if that ever happens XD), which will *hopefully* fatten up the arrangement a little. Thanks again :D

[Come, Come On -Hydroxis Mix]

At first...

This was incredibly awesome, but like SuperSilverDraco said, this is actually a remix, although really only the melody and voice are lifted from it, as the pattern is a lot of different, not to mention it's way more distorted and rocking than the original. In short, awesome song, but - 1 point for being a remix. 9/10, 5/5.

[Quiet Mornings]

Nice and mellow.

Real ambient, but enjoyable. I will say it gets a lot better with the added layers as it goes on. I like the synths too. The only reason I took off a point is because it sounds like it's building up to something SWELLING, only to loop again. Not that I don't like loops or anything. Overall, well made, for sure, but feels like it should be longer. 9/10, 5/5.

Yours truly,

Danny Phoenix...err...

FlaskBear responds:

Yeah bro, I might make it the beginning of something later. I just wanted to remake it today. Thanks for the review.

[Warioland 3: Overworld]

Excellent.

One of my favorite games of all time. This was definitely a great remix, what with the piano and strings adding so much more character and personality. 10/10, 5/5.

[Diamond Island]

This is cool. I like this.

For a piece of shit, this is a pretty cool piece of shit. The shitty synth and drums don't sound shitty at all. Pretty good, but a little short when it kicks in. It feels like it fades out before it truly begins. But otherwise, I like it a lot. 8/10, 4/5.

Yours truly,

Thanks man.

[-Naive Again-]

Song of the year.

Best song I've heard so far this year. It's hard to get any happier than this song, really. The synths are also very "squishy" sounding, and very high-quality sounding. It sounds like it was destined to be in a Dance Dance Revolution game. I also really enjoy the heavy guitar in the background; it really off-sets the overall ecstasy of the synthesizers. Overall, expertly made, and catchy as hell. 10/10, 5/5.

Yours truly (and new fan),

[.010 INFINITY]

Soundtrack to beautiful isolation...

This is a very well arranged and shockingly beautiful piece. It brings off strong feelings of isolation and its tranquil, melancholy beauty. Minimalist, but in a very suiting and original way. I have to say, INFINITY, you create some great, moving, innovative music. This is but another fantastic piece of the great INFINITY MUSIC PROJECT canon. A deserving 10/10 and 5/5.

Yours truly,

Thank you so much. That feels really good to hear.
I make music only for the joy of listening. I'm very glad to move you :)

[100mph_Intentions [Box-Killa]]

Real calm.

Very soothing, yet with an undercurrent of discord. Almost a little jazzy at times. It's very unique, and the drum break in the middle adds a lot of character. I really enjoyed this one, so much so that I downloaded it as well! Solid work, Boxy. 9/10, 5/5.

Yours truly,
