[masquerade]

I really dig that guitar tone! Reminds me of an Om track I fiddled with last week.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thx. Ibanez semi-hollow guitar with boss blues driver pedal

[Utopian Ambiance (Unmuffled Original)]

Grand Bladerunner vibes from this. I love the intermittent music scattered throughout the first half. It's almost as if cars are passing me by on a street in the middle of a metro.

Do the 80's-like sounds in the first half represent arcade machines? That's what they remind me of. As if I'm walking down the sidewalk, a multitude of sounds passing me by. Myself heedless to it all, only one destination in mind.

Love the 'nobody here' sample @4:11. 😊 So evocative of an empty lifeless metropolis. Except there's birds and signs of civilization, like the TV man in the first two minutes. The horn at 5:06.

That faint piano at 5:56 and 6:24 is beautiful. I wish it was louder, but you do you.

Would you mind sharing what the source for the piano and the drum break at 6:36 is from? You can do so in a PM, if you're worried about divulging them publicly.

All around, well done! I really feel like I'm where you want us.

5/5 10/10

Windman03 responds:

Many thanks! I was definitely trying to go for the bladerunner vibe which I've always wanted to explore more. Overall this track is made using a lot of samples. I don't mind sharing them although I don't remember all of them seeing as I made this 2 years ago and lost the project file. The faint piano is The Terminal Show from Silent Hill Homecoming. The beat is just a slowed down Amen Break if I remember correctly. Other notable ones are The Wyoming Incident, Beatfox - Planet Healer, and Homestuck - Doctor. Once again thanks for the praise.

[Donion Ringz]

Love the sample! What is it? An Arabic string instrument?

Joe-Mega responds:

It's a mandolin actually :)

[efsdgh]

Dope melody! Could use some drums! Mind if I sample this?

Danish-Person responds:

Sure feel free to sample this. If you end up with something send me a link and I'll check it out

[-GM- SunDial]

Mice loop B! You ever get around to extending this?

B-RadGfromOV responds:

I made a whole song. Rap verse and sung hook. Took it down tho cause I wasn't too proud of it. Was decent tho

[Luminophore]

Very cinematic! Love the open-endedness of those piano chords.

Nemira responds:

Thanks! :)

[Action Replay Max]

Dope! Love the breaks! Is this a remix of the music used on the Action Replay discs back in the day?

Hikari responds:

haha thats what it turned out to be! Its kind of like a hikari x action replay

[Iris]

Can't believe I never reviewed this after it dropped!

Sick geetar! I can only hope to one day come close to something of this magnitude of smoov.

That snare is dope! 😍 What is it from?

Great job!

5/5 10/10

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks friendo

[[S_Rock] Pro Pain]

Yuss!

That snare is 🔥

Love the violin. Is that a patch of some kind?

S-Rock responds:

Thanks! twas a Cello with a minor vibrato and some effects that I usually use on my electric guitar. I got a pedal hooked up to my tascam just for more effects. Thanks again ^^

[The Avatars Love Remix]

Nice!

Love the dialogue samples and the retooling of the Peace excerpt.

Could use a little more oomph in the bass department, but that's a personal gripe.

4/5 8/10

Euphoric-Danique responds:

Thank you! You are right about the bass, i uploaded it on youtube with a few changes, as well as the bass reduced a bit.
