Since I've last wrote a review to your song! So it's time again to grab my keyboard and write one!

I remember the previous entry on corrupting this tune - "Corrupted Matrimony" was the title if I can recall (I've dl's it too). And I can remember you've suffered with the organ too.

But this time is the song a total win! The snare drums give a really energetic boost for the track and dictates the rhythm too. To be honest I don't really have any points or ideas how to improve the song and I don't really see negative things here (not to mention that I don't really want to find any).

So congrats maistro for this great song - you've created a great piece again!

Hi popraz!

Unfortunately I'm damn busy nowdays and I barely got time to check my NG account not to mention the AP. But I remembered this music back there and I thought I can't miss your new approach.

For me the best part was the ending - @ around 3:40 with these synth like piano sounds and the big choir part with the flute. I also enjoyed the bells and the deep drums in the middle that were really well mixed and mastered.

I've mentioned earlier but I can't emphasise enough - you have a definitely unique and remarkable style that is recogniseable for me even now. So I could surely tell from the song that is your work.

Globally about the song - it flows well so I haven't felt that some parts needed to be more better composed or standing out from the whole composition. The mood fits perfectly the images you've aiming to show. The mastering and the sound is clear and well arranged and the used sounds give a great overall sound. And you have used quite a lot of instruments and sound here but the song still feels like one big unit not like a chaotic mass of instruments.

My only tiny complaint is with the ending - a slower fade out would have given a more dramatic ending and after my opinion a feeling of an inevitable tragedy.

But besides this the song is great and I could feel that you really took your time with this song and really developed your skills to a higher level! Congrats on that and keep up this great work! Never stop composing music!
10/10, 5/5 and faved!

When you kicked the main tune in at around 00:20 I was blasted into my seat. Kick ass epic sound, blasting brass section and strings. Not to mention the percussions. Great job!

I can see - after listening to "Final Flight" and this - you have a really unique style to compose fast paced action parts like the beginning or like the part at around 4:40. This reminds me a bit like classical filmscore music. And this is I think a great thing.

Congratulation for this song!
5/5 10/10 dl'd!

"Not bad"

Maybe add some more segments, or some more quiet parts to the song - it'll make more variety and depth to the song. In this way the song is a bit too constant and has one level.

Otherwise it's good - nice melody flow and the melody is really fitting for the gitar and I'm not missing other instruments from the song.

4/5, 8/10

"Complex and powerfull song"

submission: _Final Flight_

date: April 10, 2009

Hello there!

I'm absolutely amazed with this song - both quality and complexity is far beyond amazing!

Great job with the staccato strings at the build up in the beginning - you've really made a nice introduction for the themes you wanted to show.

After 00:51 - absolutely dramatic sound something I've heard really long ago. Great job with that. And wonderfull strings at around 1:30 - really brought some variety into the song.

So all in all - loved the song. Great job and congratulations for it!

"Not bad"

Hi popraz! As I promised here's my review about the song.

First of all - it's really nicely mastered and arranged. I liked the instrumantation as well. Especially the sound of the electric gitar was really awesome.

I like the upbeat starting that breaks around 0:54 but still rises with choir and trombone (french horn?) to 1:47. Really uplifting and great sounding!

After 2:27 - awesome melody starts on the strings! I'd really loved to hear more from it maybe in a more developed way.

The tune that kicks in at 3:06 is really dinamic - loved it! Uplifting and really fits for the title and the whole concept that you wanted to showcase with the music. And it loops damn well btw.

I was thinking a lot about the track because there was something that bothered me and I couldn't figure out what is it but after the 4th listening I realised (this opininon is based on my personal taste): there is no really main tune or segment of the track.

You've put a lot of effort into it and created a lot of smaller segments and I think these are too much for a track in this lenght. And because of this non of these segments are well and fully developed or introduced and that's why it seems a bit rushed for me.

So next time maybe less but more developed segments and tunes would be better. But as I mentioned this is my personal opinion.

Otherwise good and characteristic track that has the unique marks of your own style (strings-style, percussion arangements).

So this time 8/10 and 4/5 from me - dl'd.

I hope my review will be helpfull.

"Extreme ends of the spectrum are where your musical talent flows the most, when you're sad or when you're happy, that's when you can make a masterpiece as simply as you can walk or run." - this is what you've written in your comment and how true I think it is! I can really understand this thought and the situation you are in.

Great job about the track - it really carries a kind of 'moving on' feeling. with a lot of hope encapsulated inside.

Some minor suggestion: make some more segment in the song. I mean: lover the strings and put them more in the background, and let the piano to fill the place - but keep the pace. I think it'd sound great and give some more variety and depth/emotion to the song and wouldn't sound so 'full' and constant all the way.

But toherwise the song really caught me... 5/5, 10/10 dl'd

Congrats and good luck!

"Almost a rock song"

Hey - really great tune and dinamic song. I loved the whole atmosphere you've set in the song. And the sudden blow at the beginning @ 00:30 and the sudden ending sounded also great - altough it didn't really work but it did here.

The brass staccato sound was particularly great. The percussion set and the rythm almost cries for a distorted gitar or some heavy gitar riffs.

The main tune was really kick ass - maybe you should have added some more variations when you've repeated them - but the song is not repetitive at all.

5/5, 10/10, dl'd.
Great job!

Hey!

I really loved the arrangement and the overall sounding of the track! Especially the pusating rythm of the marcato strings and staccato brass gave me chills. Yeah it's a bit repetitive theme but who cares... I love it!

My bigest problem with the track was the ending - too abrupt, A suddent orchestral hit after a riseing section would be a great touch for this song after my opinion but this way the song ends now it's a bit dissapointing.

Otherwise great job - good sound and mastering and nicely sounding samples!

Man.. I wish to make such blowing soungs like yours with the skills you have. Wonderfull composition and sound - and the funny of it that I'm not missing the strings altough I'm all over for the strings... but you showed me that a filmscore can be mind-blowing without them.

Fantastic job... cant give else: 5/5, 10/10, dl'd
