Well composed music, that is expressive, with great instrumentation. All the little touches are what I like the most. Each track encapsulates a different mood.
I can see this being used for videogames, presentations, documentries, you name it. It would work well with many kinds of multimedia.
I like Night Game in particular, the driving bassline is especially cool.
Well done!
Some nice ideas here, but they seem to have been wasted. Out of tune guitars & terrible timing and rhythm are big problems on every track. It honestly sounded like you'd come up with a basic idea and improvised the rest when recording, and not listened to the end product. If you'd spent a little bit more time beforehand crafting the songs and giving them more structure and purpose, it could've been so much better. Also you need to really listen to what you've recorded. Do the guitars sound in tune? is every part in sync with each other? If the answers to those questions are yes then you need to listen a lot harder.
Personally I find music of this sort slightly childish, but this review is purely based upon the quality of the album, rather than my personal opinion of emo/punk music.
Please bear in mind this is just some constructive criticism, i'm not having a dig at anyone.
Overall, I think it's a good effort and you guys could go somewhere with this, but there are a few noticeable problems. Firstly, tuning. I don't know whether it's intonation problems or just not being able to tune your instruments, but your guitars are out of tune. If you haven't already, I would invest in a tuner, as no matter how good your hearing is, unless you have perfect pitch a tuner is bound to do a better job.
Secondly, timing is an issue. You all seem capable and have rhythm, but it's a bit sloppy in some places.
Anyway, that's just my thoughts, and I wish you all much success for the future.
I can't really fault this, each track has some great hooks and every member of the group is full of energy and express themselves well. In particular the guitar playing is absolutely brilliant, I love the tone, the expression and all the great riffs. Bass is very good also and adds plenty of flavor, and the drumming is solid. Vocals are decent too, and have plenty of attitude. Like the other reviewer said, this is good solid rock, with plenty of different stylistic influences.
One thing I like also is that this has the energy of a live performance, which a lot of bands lose in their recordings, whereas as you guys have represented yourselves extremely well here. Well done!
I'm not sure if it's meant to be a joke or something, but there is absolutely no trace of the beatles here. I know they're supposed to be remixes, but they've been remixed into entirely different songs which don't resemble the songs they're meant to at all.
That said, it's not half bad. You certainly are talented, and have created some good tunes. They're just not what it says on the tin.
Where do I start? This album fuses a vast amount of musical styles & genres, mainly funk, jazz & blues. Each song is filled with rich, multi-layered melodies & funky basslines. My only criticism is that it could have possibly featured some vocals to help keep things fresh. I understand that is is an instrumental album, but when doing this type of music you really have to work hard to keep the listeners full attention throughout, which overall I do think you've managed pretty well. My favourites were definately pour manon & new funk 02, they stood out the most to me. On the whole this is an excellent collection of songs, which, if anything, showcase your obvious talents as a composer & musician.
I'm listening to this as I write this review. It's really good. Overall this sounds like an artist who is still developing his craft, but the ideas here really shine through, you obviously have alot of potential & natural talent. I can't think who your voice reminds me of, but it really is beautiful. You make good use of the chords you use too.
Overall, very well done. Lots of variety, & lots of talent!
Not listened to it all the way through yet, just had a quick listen but I am majorly impressed! This genre of music should get waay more publicity than it does. There has obviously been alot of thought put into the composition of the tracks, & an array of emotions are created through this. There is a wonderful mix of ambient, rock, experimental, all enriched with darker tones.
Anyway I have downloaded this & shall give it a full listen!
