[[S_Rock] Snapped]

Your beats always have the most unique instrumentation. This sounds like if KoRn were to make a hip hop track. I could see Eminem rapping on this one back in his earlier days. Good stuff dude!

S-Rock responds:

haha right on, I try to stay away from samples and make my own melodies. best way to make originality is to stay true to your own sound without sampling :) I appreciate it bro thanks for the listen.

[-GM- Do You?]

As a matter of fact, I do! Whatever it is. Maybe I don't do.

I love the vocal samples in this. I'm not really sure how to describe the feel I get from this beat. It's somewhat chilling, but also very relaxing at the same time. I dunno, like a haunted coffee shop or something like that. I dunno. But I'm definitely loving this one. Keep up the good work!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

You do, do you?

[-GM- Centaur]

Very happy sounding! I love this, this put me in an awesome mood. Could fit in a video game menu, like if they did a modern remake of the old NES EarthBound game or something. Catchy as hell.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks brothaman

[-GM- Galactic -FreddyFinger-]

Sounds good man, awesome flow! Nice sounding track, and to be honest, I didn't notice much static on your mic's end of things, but then again, all I have is a Rock Band mic, so it might have deafened me to some of the problems your mic has.

And damn, I'd forgotten how awesome of a producer FF is. Wish he still posted tracks here.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Yeah it's not much better than a rock band mic ;^)

And yeah man, Freddy is the shit. He had such a consistently sweet style. Every time he'd upload somethin new, it hit you upside the head, like WHOA where did this come from?? Every time.

[Tormented World]

Dude, this is awesome! Different from your usual, but true to your style nonetheless. Great work man, keep it up!

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Thanks Jack! :)

[Frickin' Dolphins Mate!]

Really good! For trying to get a feel for a new software, you really did good on this one. It's only missing one thing: Vox. I wouldn't mind hearing this, or at least a version of it on a Prophets release, it's very true to your style, and very much in that spirit. Great work man!

Clastodon responds:

I'm not sure if it will get vocals, honestly, as this was done at TAFE, and I don't have Logic at home, and the computers at TAFE have no microphones. :/

If it becomes a Prophets song thought you'll be the first to know. It's got some potential. Just, the solos would not be as intricate.

[Concept Photon]

Amazing as usual, dude! Nice bumpin' bassline, nice chill vibe, and as always, awesome use of vocal samples. Pure awesomeness man.

DJDureagon responds:

Thanks for remembering me.

[Horchata]

I don't know if I'm the only one that gets this vibe, but for some reason the vocal samples you use give your beats a bit of a creepy feel, even when it's a chill jazz-hop beat like this. It's a different but good combination. I'm loving this one. Great brass. Keep up the good work man!

Libby-Shimmz responds:

This isn't Jazz-Hop Jack.

This is Boom Bap Hip Hop with Dark Orchestral elements.

Thanks for the review mang!

I always appreciate your opinion.

[Fire Away (Instrumental)]

Sounds awesome! Very high-speed, high-energy, just like I like my rock! This needs to be in a racing game or something.

akiTONE responds:

Haha, thanks! I'd like to think Action RPG or something. Or maybe an opening to a show?

Of course! It's during the climactic scene where the opening plays during the boss battle!

... or something like that.

[left with Echoes]

I have to agree with Nucleo on the keys, but damn if that bass wasn't bumping! The bass was without a doubt my favorite part of this track. Nice and funky, but it also works really well with that chilled out guitar. Great work man, I will be anxiously waiting for the full track!

Phaserino responds:

thanks man appreciate it
