wingly city -time of arrogance

"There was a lot of good music..."

date: May 27, 2008

In LoD... I wish they did more with that lore...

I think originally this song was much more foreboding and dark. Lots of the music was that way, but this one in particular seemed to resonate the thousands of years Rose spent killing the Moonchild. This version is a bit less dark, but I like it.

ya this song really had some sorta je ne sais quoi about it. I love it - it was also a very hard song to repliaqcte as this midi - and the one when theyre always telling wingly stories - the one with the musicbox and the choir - are nowhere to be found on the internet- they arent on the soundtrack-.-

thanks for the review!

EWJ - Queen Slug for a Butt

"God I loved that game..."

date: May 27, 2008

Shiny Entertainment could have made this generation of games much more interesting...

As for the song, I don't remember exactly how it went in the game, but this is a catchy incarnation. I think this was the final boss theme, but you kinda made it sound like an 'exploring a cave' song... at least... a cave in the EWJ universe o.O

"I have the other version..."

date: May 27, 2008

I like it with the ambiance better, personally. This is essentially just the instrumental part of the song which is nice, but doesn't have the same impact nor tell quite the same story as with the ambiance.

Sometimes I wish i could play piano so I could recreate this king of stuff.

You're missing like 2 bars of music from the tail end of the song, otherwise a good rendition of the song done in a different style.

Author's Response:

and yes I know i am - but those bars suck and dont contribute well to the song - so I got rid of them >:(

thanks for the review!

"Haunting Adaptation"

date: September 4, 2006

Originally this melody had a more angelic, choir quality in the source material. You've successfully transformed it into a hopeful dirge of sorts.

In WoW I've recently started using an add-on that changes the area music for different places. I used this song for Chillwind Camp, one of the last basions of hope in the Plaguelands.

It's an excellent piece, well done!

Author's Response:

well.. uh.. hehe.. dunno if id compare it to FUNERAL music per say.. and I have the original melody - no choir at all in it - I actually layer ed an angelic choir to the bg of this song.

and I've never played WoW hehe.. ah well.

thanks for the review man - I tried my best - could have added more ambiance and changed a few things but I worked with what I had!

"I like the description."

date: May 22, 2006

After hearing the straight piano version of this, I'm glad you went back over it and did some more arranging with sounds (especially the giggling). The desription you gave - about the little girl chasing her shadow - evoked a series of images that went with the music.

A very nice story piece in the end. It has a beginning, a middle and an end - even being only 2:18.

Probably the best original you've made.

Author's Response:

ya.. the imagary i added makes it seem pretty cool eh :P

thanks for the review and the compliments Helbereth!

"Very catchy"

date: April 22, 2006

It works nicely as a loop. It's almost inspiring me to create a flash around it...

I think I'll wait for the finished song, though.

Author's Response:

ya me and paragon are working on the final result - I'll have to kick his ass to get in gear..

thanks for the review helbereth!

"It's very good, but..."

date: April 18, 2006

The whole second half of the lyrics is missing. I looked up the lyrics online, then found 8 versions of the song through media player. It's still good, but it probably could have been better with all the lyrics.

I have it on my playlist anyway...

Author's Response:

I was aware - but the version that I had that was all it went up to - I didnt realize until after when everyone started screaming at me that there was more.. sowwy!

Maybe I'll make a fuller version :p

thanks for the review and the play list add helbereth - now make more flashes you giant hunk of man love you! <3
