Re: Reviewer? I didn't even ... ah forget it ("Her" reviews)

Serious way to start. Very pop. I like the vocal effects and the music, but the snaps a little distracting. Reminds me a bit of Jed Whedon And The Willing. I like how the intensity builds through the first 1:30. I kind of wish it was a straight build from the very start, without the softer interlud...

Re: Reviewer? I didn't even ... ah forget it ("Her" reviews)

Thanks for all the reviews everyone! I'm about halfway through mine. "But the clicking percussion is somewhat distracting, maybe too "clicky". Nice experimentally. What's with the continuous All Aboard? Are we going to ride a train? If so, that needs to be empasized." In hindsigh...

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 4

Well it was fun! I totally understand and accept this elimination. Certainly not defeat! Great songs guys, I'll be paying attention, and probably reviewing (that's cool right?)

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 4

Berkley Social Scene - What is the music trying to make me feel here? My eyes are wide, then my face is scrunchy, then my head's back and nodding and I wanna be stoned as fuck. That guitar is really great for a second but i wish the sound evolved a bit… just on those long notes, if there was more te...

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 4

thanks. yeah i um. I sent in the wrong mix!... I hate to see me go on that too, and I kinda know I will. Freaking awesome songs guys. A song like Talamak, or better yet Freak Love is what i was referring to. Though yeah I mean I don't even come close to that... It really just was done waaaay too qui...

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 4

Dear glenny. Yes and no, my mixing was done last second and I was oblivious to just how much compression I was messing with. The sound volume be lowering as much as it does. I had a kick drum sidechained into a compressor (which was on everything) and then I muted the kick. so you still have it trig...

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 3

WhF - I like the looseness of the pots and pans setting up the beat in the intro. If I ever do a rap song (again), you're the first person I'm asking to do the beat. The chorus confuses me; "gravestones" implies that it's a serious accident and people died (as does the rap that comes in l...

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 3

SONG IN. Gueststarring Pots And Pans X and the Pearl House Players. Sampling (briefly) Biggie's Hypnotize (1997) I had a freakin' busy week. Horrible allergies. Horrible drama (i'm still a kid). Mudder's day <3. All in all I'm happy with my song, but the vocals, especially the sung vocals, were done...

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 2

everyone is valid! I reacted the way i did to the 'portuguese' suggestion because i do feel like a dolt having not considered that. Had I thought on it a bit longer, I don't see how I could have not sung 'portuguese.' Thanks for the props jon eric, often I do fear the opinions of others too much... ...

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 2

I gotta say, if you had said Portuguese, I would have thought it was an excellent line, because of the relationship between those countries and their languages. Who Fly Sicilians are supposed to be great lovers... slightly too personal a lyric. (and i thought it sounded better than portuguese). GOD...

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 2

Who Fly - Nice sample, dunno if you made it yourself or found it. ... I'm going to assume the horror of Spanish taught by a Sicilian makes more sense to you than to me, and that you didn't just use "Sicilian" because you thought it sounded good. ... but I'm not sure that I'm convinced tha...

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 2

Yep, the sentences alone without the spanish seem exceptionally clever. When they lay the spanish out for you before hand they just seem stupid as balls. I kinda hoped people would hear that and understand that bit's little "micro lesson" without it necessarily being spanish lesson - it ca...

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 2

Whof - Are these really samples from an actual Spanish Lesson? It sounds almost too perfect for this song. I like the synth work here, as well as the upsampled voices. What's with the Sicilian Woman line? Unfortunately, the song gets a little looser when it accelerates. I like the rap, though! The ...

Re: Nur Ein V: Round 2

well... im done. i'll say honestly that I simply threw up 2 4 bar rap verses over my song to appease anyone who would dock it just because it was an instrumental. Which, given the nature of this competition, it's totally beyond fair to dock my song for that, so i'm not gripey.

I am digging a coffin doing something instrumental, aren't I?
It primarily samples Alfonso Cruz singing various folk songs of mexico and Michael Gruenberg's Instant Recall Spanish Vocabulary: Learn and Remember Spanish Faster Than You Ever Imagined!
