[Sanguine Samurai]

Zombie karate flick. I dunno, but I really like this. The change ups shine for me, sick beat here

larrynachos responds:

Thanks Mickey! Glad you liked it :)

[Big Box of Weird Porn]

This is beautiful.

[Ol Simplicity]

Love the change ups here! Dynamic with good build up. The silent fraction of a second at 0:55 and 2:20 was a bit of a break in the flow a bit, for me. Maybe static or a subtle echo to carry the momentum from the previous section. I might put some bars to this, maybe some rap swag will help some with that 0.2 seconds of deafening silence. Solid work Akaruhime!

Akaruhime responds:

thanks! an instrumental is just as useful as a car without the lyrics both have no engine to kick start the vibes~<3

[Jazz Cabbage]

This is dope. I would go on, but I don't want to spoil this magical moment.

landon91 responds:

Hey, thanks man. I would go on too, but again, don't wanna spoil anything.

[The Plug]

Very solemn intro, that phazy held string note(?) motif which plays predominantly throughout is nicely established here. Really like the harshness of that compares to the light and delicateness of the bells. My favourite aspect of this beat is the build up and transition; there's a dynamic feel here. I'm not too keen on the outro, it felt a bit abrupt. I really liked the piano touch though; I would suggest some of instruments from the intro to accompany the keys on a solemn outro fade of a couple bars. Overall, good beat, great feel, spin worthy.

carl565 responds:

I seem to hit one or the other, the into or the outro, never both, haha. That's mostly because I save one or the other for the tail-end of the project and whatever I work on last, usually is abrupt. It's laziness, if I were to be perfectly honest with you, haha. I need to stop being lazy with how I create my songs. Its become way too habitual for me and I think a lot of potential is lost from it. I'm glad you liked the song though. Thanks for the review!

[Shattered Wish]

Catchy tune and up tempo beat. The lead in is good and the verse/chorus transitions were a bit abrupt, but that works with the vibe of this beat. The chip tune drop in @ 2:36 was interesting; I was kinda hoping a chip tune rendition of the melody was gonna rock. I think the levels sound alright, high,mids, and lows sound like they are balanced, I also like bass heavy music, so I may be biased. Dope beat.

Rekuiem responds:

thanks brother, the suggestion is inspiring! I think I hear something new :D Appreciate it so much!

[DOA]

Oh my gravy, this is grimy. Awesome structure here, the interlude with those low strings! Blam, salt and pepper.The reversed string sample almost like a bagpipe, i like that. I think I've heard this before, still dope doe

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Danke Mao!

[Ol'Soul New Tricks]

I like this. A really good mix here. The videogame sfx, orchestra and grungy bass somehow work well together here. The build up is great too. Well done. lack of laziness shows off!

Akaruhime responds:

thank you very much! i've been putting music on hold till I can think of something just as good to make~<3

PS: glad ya liked it!

[No.2 Pencil only please]

Wow. Great atmosphere here. That echoey hollow stick sound, with the vibey synthetics, such an intriguing mix, you made it work! Solid song, from beginning to end, the outro is awesome, simple and effective.

DarkHorseOrchestra responds:

Thanks, I actually saw your news post for "Under The Surface", dope picture.
