[Happiness Is Around You]

Nice atmosphere. It sounds like music from a machine. I like that. It might have been even better though if you gave it more of a human touch here and there and did some more with your velocity levels, fades and such. Especially with the violin. It wouldn't have reminded me of Christmas if you hadn't pointed it out. That doesn't matter though, because I don't like songs that too obviously sound like Christmas songs anyway. I like it better like this.

[Christe Redemptor Omnium]

Good song. Thanks for putting me in the Christmas mood. I'm looking forward to hearing more songs from you.

bassfiddlejones responds:

Glad I could help! :D Thanks for taking the time, and hopefully I'll have some more stuff to put up soon!

[Labbaik]

Fantastic! I get why this is on the front page. In my review of the other song "Deus Vult" I said the metal and orchestral instruments should be more balanced out (and with metal instruments I meant the guitar(s) and drums as in the style metal, not the material). In this song the two styles complement each other much better. Neither overbears. Perfect balance. Great job the two of you.

bassfiddlejones responds:

Another review, thank you! I'm happy you liked this piece. We've got some pretty neat stuff coming up soon, too. :)

[Endless Forms]

This song makes me happy. It's relaxing, in a funky way.

[Bane of the Samurai]

Great song. Very suspenseful. I like how pure it is. Nothing cheesy or pretentious. Music to be taken seriously.

bassfiddlejones responds:

That's exactly what I was going for. Thank you for the review!

[Iostream]

Sounds promising. Even as a loop it's good.

Hikari responds:

Thanks, it was originally going be for a game.. for today. I got the news yesterday around 7pm. I stayed up all night just to meat the dead line. I was so upset when the guy was like, nope change this this and this, it sounds to chippy, you have an hour. I just said what ever, good bye. So some time this week I should have the full version.

[Tepid Waltz in A Minor]

Nice and simple. Nothing wrong with it. I like the way it's played.

[Frozen Fire]

Heard this song first in the animation Frozen Signal. I liked it very much, so I had to check it out. Are there vocals in this song? Sounds like vocals with effects. Or vocals and a synth routed through a vocoder. Or else a synth that sounds like a human voice. I can't make out the lyrics. Anyway interesting sound.

OcularNebula responds:

it's a saxophone soundfont with a bunch of reverb delay and phasing; at least, that's what I'm assuming you're referring to

[Fairy Tale -With Vocals-]

Great song. You say the song suffers from "bad production". I agree sometimes can't understand the lyrics, because they're too drowned out by the effects and other instruments, and the drums are sometimes out of rhythm. But overall I actually like the production because of "flaws". This gives a more human touch and it reminds me more of classic rock songs. When a song is overproduced it gets boring.

[Merry Little Christmas]

Nice song to get you in the Christmas mood.
