I really like your sound, KB, always have. It's kind of like... A lite version of Oval (if you've ever heard of them). Anyway, I've gotten a bunch of your songs off of itunes, waiting for the new album to come out.
Great work, keep it up :D

I found this song to be quite pleasing. ToisanDoi has recruited me into doing some of the audio syncing for his flash interpretation of this song, so I've been over it a few times. I found your version to be very well instrumentated, it does the original work some fair amount of justice. I have one piece of criticism for you though: I really would advise against bringing in the base at 1:10. It sounds fairly electronic and clashes with the soothing nature of the song. Other than that, great work. I'm looking forward both the lyrics, and to the completed flash.

Oooh? Nice to meet you then.
I'm glad you like the song. This one's actually rather old and I'm thinking of doing a remastered version of it. But we'll see. ^_^

I play classical myself, but I have to say, I really admire your sound. I was jut wondering, how much this is instrumental? Cause it sounds great. I love how the focus shifts from piano over to guitar and then back to piano as you move through the song, and you've got some great riffs down on both of them. Keep up the good work :)

Thanks for your review.
Full version is 10:45. I'm glad you liked this song, I heard some of your songs and you certainly have a great talent, that Stairway to Heaven version is cool!
Cheers

Hmm, I like it. My personal favourite out of all of your "#1 songs" is still 2, but this one really is pretty awesome. I think you're coming closer to achieving your original goal :) Good luck, and keep 'em coming. Congrats on making the top 5 this week, btw. (i r envious).

Wow, I don't know where to start here. This was an amazing piece, and it's one of the best I've heard on the portal. Just love the samples you used. You said you recorded them from around the house? I was thinking about doing something similar a couple years back, after hearing how amazing this turned out I'm thinking about starting that project back up :) The vocals are great, they really fit the song and I love the sound you got out of the dictaphone. It also works really well with the animation. Amazing work, keep it up!

Yay! This is one of my favorite songs of yours. It's a truly amazing piece, and I'm glad to see that you put it up here :) Also, if you've been putting new songs on your myspace I'd greatly appreciate if you'd email them to me as well, since the myspace music player has stopped working even after downloading the new Flash -.-

Oh, oh, oh!
I'm so happy about your first review, Ubertuna!!!
You know that I send you every new song, that I make and the last one was Crystal Heads, right?
There are new new song at the moment, so you haven't missed anything. :)
Sorry for not having any new music, but maybe I'll make a new one soon and upload it to Newgrounds...

I love the rhythm you've got here. It's a really well done D n' B and it has a spectacular intro. The only problem with it is that it gets extremely repetitive after about :40. Add in a little variation.

I will, this one is still on my ''yet to improve'' list.

Nice Guide DjBjra! It's really helpful for me when I create purely software based music. Thanks!

"*insert generic statement of praise here*"
Very pleasant, very peaceful. I especially love the job you did on the reverb, and the slight dissonance it creates in the background. Reminds me a bit of Jack Wall's soundtrack for Myst III, except more minimalist and more calming. Definitely one of my favorite classical/ambient pieces on the portal.
Downloaded.
Author's Response:
thank you!!
yes, I liked the reverb to in this one, I used a fantastic plugin called Glaceverb. Check it out!
Also, its an honor to be compared to Jack Wall, although, I've only heard his music in Splinter Cell.
thanks again ubertuna! its great to hear its worthy of your download :)
