[Instrumental #4 (Karco Remix)]

I'm impressed.

This remix was astounding! I mean, for you to spice it up as your own was just great! I applaud you with the added beats, and to be honest, I think it made it much better.

Great version of Instrumental #4.

Karco responds:

Thanks for the kind words! :)

[Edge of Faith]

In the moment the song started...

I was having many mixed feelings, but let me tell you this, the mixed feelings are generally positive and also very heart warming.

You never stop amazing me, many tracks are varied and always different, this shows that you have a amazing imagination on how you create you're music and that is always good in my book.

Mirror's Edge, that's a game I'm hoping to come when of course I have the money to pay for it, I'm running low on the cash, just gotta save up and buy a game that I so wanted when the first trailer came out.

Looks like I got side tracked, don't worry I have many comments to what I have to say about this track.

So, onto the track, the beginning had me completely mesmerized, is it just me or the female voice singing quietly in the beginning with such a heavenly hymn simply great?

When it came to the beginning-middle to the song, the song completely changed to a melodic piece to a rocking piece, don't mind me, I was in enthralled on how you combined it so well and the the heavy guitar riffs just made it so much better over all.

To the middle-ending, the way it mixed so well made me forget that this song was nearing it's end, I could really feel it but I wished it didn't end and just continue on and on endlessly. But in reality, I know that doesn't happen, wish it could, then I would wish the length of this song to be infinite, so I can enjoy it to the fullest and never get bored of it.

The simple piano notes throughout the whole song was just awesome, no words compared on how such easy and simple notes made the song so much better.

Overall, I just loved everything about it. Thanks again for another great track from you, I hope to see another release!

NemesisTheory responds:

Wow, you react fast! :D

I'm glad you like the song!
And yep! Figured this song was worth it to bend some styles! it literally took like 5 tries to get something good out of it. :)

And don't worry, Mirror's Edge is totally worth it! Especially if you're like me and are compulsive enough to keep trying to improve your times XD it just feels so great when you're in a groove and everything goes perfect!

now I got sidetracked as well >.>

I'm (REALLY) glad you liked the singing! Can you guess who it was? :) It's also nice to hear you liked the change into the rock atmosphere, i also thought it worked really well. it really mirrors (lol) the two different styles pretty well and surprisingly enough blend almost perfectly at the end :D

Anyway, I'm glad you liked the song, and thank you for reviewing! And don't worry, ofcourse you'll see a new release. :)

[A Walk Down The Trail]

A powerful piece.

Wow, I'm just overall just in shock on how such a old track that you made back in you're days, is just such a masterpiece!

The way the melody was brought into this piece, was just simply inspiring, it reminded me what I did in the past, it reminded me of all the good deeds that I have done and shown me that I have done something to contribute to this world.

The length again, was just great. I could just put this on repeat and I wouldn't even remember if the song ended or not, since it loops very well.

Now, let's summarize this.

Part 1: Beginning
Now let me just say this, I thoroughly enjoyed the beginning where the piano starts off very nicely, it was very subtle and not too powerful, always a great point in the beginning is to start off nice and slow and to bring the instruments in place in the middle or grand finale!

Part 2: Middle
Ah, it seems like the flute has been added here, either I'm wrong if it's a flute I still liked it! The flute added much a powerful added atmosphere to the song that made the song so much more enjoyable, the song really starts to pick up here so I'm pleased at this part, very much so!

Part 3: End
The ending is coming closer, everything crescendos into a great and melodic track that could leave me in tears on how the song is sadly coming to a end. And it's over, the instruments die down and all is quiet...until of course it repeats and I can enjoy it once more!

Thanks for another great track once again, I admire you're work, you're great at creating music that show emotion.

Added,favorited, and rated.

Reasoner responds:

This was a very personal song for me when I wrote it years ago and I'm glad that everyone is appreciating it. I honestly never thought It get this kind of seemingly universal appeal, and I appreciate yet again your insight into it. I'm not good with words, and it's nice to have people who are able to express though words what I can only express through music.

['Rock the House]

Definitely deserves a higher score.

Now let me get this out of the way, this track is really under-rated, no matter how many people think it's repetitive, I think this is actually a good thing.

Repetitive can be good as long you change the beat slightly and tweak it a little bit in order for us to show that it's not as repetitive as you think.

Overall, the song was good, I especially like the voice, where by any chance did you get that voice from?

Really different than the other tracks, but that doesn't really matter does it? Experimenting on new genres is always in my book a good thing.

The track was really enjoyable and it's like you said, it's best to be on clubs, people would go crazy on this.

Syncing of the beats were right on, I didn't see any flaws on any pattern faults which is great!

Another good track from you, rated, favorited, and another addition to my Ipod.

Again, thumbs up!

NemesisTheory responds:

Don't worry about the rating, the song only has been out for a few hours and everyone seems to be having trouble with 0 raters. :)

And jup, repetition works pretty well for songs like this though ofcourse it's not always to someone's liking.

The voice might or might not be me with some vocal robo effects done in FL and with plugins XD

And yup! I like to try new things every once in a while to keep things interesting. It also works for when you go back to your other styles with fresh inspiration since you haven't done it for a while.

I'm really glad you liked the change of pace, it's really appreciated. :)

Thanks for the review! :)

[An End To The Universe]

Another track? Yet again you amaze me.

I've been awaiting for you're next release and then again you've gone and outdone yourself once more.

Old school you say? So this was made in you're early years or was it just made recently.

Now, onto the track.

Let me cut this into parts, it seems to be better this way.

Beginning:
Of course, the beginnings always start out slow, but that what makes me listen to it more as the song gradually goes on. I can tell once the beats start kicking in, you're in one heck of a treat. I really like the uplifting beats, makes me feel in a positive mood, and the different patterns as it continues is just, wow. Must I say more?

Middle:
This was great, a whole ton of instruments are now coming in and slowly I know that this was starting to become a amazing masterpiece of a track, the melody you made for this was astonishing, it's very spaced out and made you think, I could really sleep with this on repeat, really I could.

End:
Bravo! Everything starting to sync in perfectly and I could feel the different instruments being played. I almost forgot about the voices as well, although it was sometimes hard to hear them, they made quite a impact on the song, such a great voice too! The conclusion, another great track from you.

In summary, great beginning with uplifting beats, great middle with almost flawless syncing of the instruments and terrific ending of everything starting to slow down until I finally realized it was over.

The length was long, 6+ minutes? Man, I can go on how varied for a 6+ minute song this is.

Rated, favorited, and another addition to my Ipod.

Thanks again.

Reasoner responds:

I should copy and paste your reviews onto the descriptions of my songs lol. Thank you for reviewing it in such detail like you always do my friend. 6 minutes is a long time to sift through lol.

[Reasoner- Ticking Away]

My, you outdone yourself.

Wow, no words to express how well done this track was. The tempo was steady and calm and everything fitted in place. It felt like you were inside the music, already dancing to the beat, feeling everything throughout the song.

This seems to a different genre on you're part as well, this is always a great thing. You're experimenting which is always a plus side.

I have a lot of things to say, so I'll combine into parts.

Part 1: Beginning
Wow, I just loved everything about it, it started to build up very nicely and it came out really well. As new instruments started to get introduced it kept me glued to the wicked beats.

Part 2: Middle
Wow, here comes all the beats forming seamlessly into a melodic rhythm. This part was really great, I have so much too say about it, but I'll say it all in Part 4.

Part 3: End-Middle
Everything is starting to calm down now, the soft instruments playing in the background made this part powerful, I could really feel what you're trying to depict, I was impressed by this.

Part 4: End
Everything is ending, all the instruments started to fall silent, and it's over. Now that's 4+ minutes of music to my ears. Overall, throughout listening to the whole track, I wasn't disappointed at all. Even though you have said in you're description that this wasn't "mastered" well I'll just say this:

IT WAS STILL GREAT!

Thanks for the message about this, I really took my time in this review, I hope you enjoyed what I thought about it.

Take care.

Reasoner responds:

Many thanks and gratitude man for taking the time to review this. I'm glad you were able to enjoy it as much as you did considering it's not typical ambient piano stuff. I did try to make the track as interesting as possible, which is why there are lot of transitions throughout the song. I really felt like this was not a melodic piece, but more of a harmonic arrangement of different ideas and textures that I tried to blend together to form one overall impression. Thanks for the kind words and I always look forward to your reviews!

[Don't Give a Damn]

It's great you're trying new things.

Amazing track yet again, the tone of the song is mellow, the beats don't overwhelm each other and just a good chill track to listen to when walking or taking a jog. Or maybe, just relax and lay down.

You're description to the song is agreeable, things these days are changing quickly, issues with the environment, politics and what not.

I really like this kind of style, maybe in the future, I'll see more tracks like these.

Downloaded, favorited, and placed into my Ipod.

Cheers!

NemesisTheory responds:

very mellow indeed lol!
i actually could listen to this while walking around outside of town... hmm! you gives me some ideas lol :D

and yes, you're right... but that's how life is right?

and probably! I kind of like this sort of style now too :D

Thanks for the review, Lost-Wisdom! :D

[Castle of Tears: Bloodlines]

Wow, you just made it even better.

I'm just astounded on how much I loved this track and of course the original. You especially added some new instruments into the mix.

I'm utterly in shock on how much you improved it. It had more energy, it had more force, it had the ability to someone to just dance to it and go with the beat.

Also the length, wow, 7+ minutes, I could put this on repeat and I won't even get bored with it.

You never cease to amaze me yet again, I hope you have the time to send me some PMs about the tracks though, it won't hurt if you have the time to do so.

Thanks for another great track.

Downloaded, rated, and favorited.

NemesisTheory responds:

yup! the entire process was to clear some things up, make it less muddy and make it more interesting :)

yes the length is pretty crazy, luckily it varietes and adds new things every 'cycle' so things dont get too boring :D

PMing you when I release new tracks? okay, i will do that then. i never do these things but for you i will make an exception lol :D

Thank YOU for another good review!! :)

[Clockday]

I love it.

It has a nice but steady mellow flow to it, add the nice bass lines into it and the great melody and you got a great track.

Voted 5, favorited, and added.

gnrbl responds:

Thanks. I created most of the bass lines using a guitar, so I had a little trouble making them mix well with the rest of the melody. I'm glad it turned out well.

[Reasoner- I'm Still Here]

Simply wonder.

When you play the piano, it seems like your part of it. It's seems like your in tune whenever you create such great pieces like this.

The build up of the beginning to the end was simply fantastic.
I couldn't find any way to make this better as it is.

You deserve this rating that I've given you, your no way a "Amateur Composer" from what you written in your profile.

More of a "Professional Composer" in my perspective.
Great, I'm so glad that I came to your profile to see any updates from you.

I was welcomed with a great track from you. Downloaded, favorited and rated.

Cheers.

Reasoner responds:

I get a lot of people telling me to remove the "amateur" part, including my family. I appreciate you always coming back whenever i have something new to offer. Thanks for being a dedicated fan.
