[Through The Barrel Of A Gun]

Nice

This ain't hardcore, but it is heavy!

Reminds me of the stuff I used to listen to years back... Original Ill Nino, Staind, Godsmack, Nonpoint, etc.

Problem being that it does become somewhat repetitive. I mean, I've hit the song more or less halfway through and it's changed. So you know... not very commercialised, as it would be. Only really due to the time it took to change chord progression.

Asides from, all in all, worth the manuscript it was sculptured on. I'd love to hear this as a finished piece, and your compositions in general. Takes me back, this does!

[MS - Involution]

Hmm...

The intro was good, but then after that it just seemed like you through everything together without a sense of purpose or direction.

One thing I did like was the bass at 1:23 and the following progression.

That's really about it, I'm afraid.

3/5
6/10

[Broken Through]

Simple!

Simplicity makes some of the best music.

This is simple, good chord progression and the bass is very 'cool'. Nice sound achieved with it and would be if you could progress it into a full song.

Very good stuff though!

NesUser responds:

Thanks and I sort of gave up the whole music thing. However if I get more responses like this I would be happy to start up again. Thanks.

Orb!

You want a nightmare?

The Orb - We're Pastie To Be Grill You

This song reminds me of that, and a cross of Silent Hill sloshed in the mix.

This is a DnB beat! Pretty much consistent, with very few fills, the way it should be!

Nice stuff. 10/10

[DJ Comet-Fortune]

Cool!

Downbeat, prog-dance beat with a lot of phasing and distrorting through many different changes.

Not one for the punters in the club or the radio stations, but it's your own music and you make it how you want to!

I liked the piano. Reminds me of the Robert Miles song Children from back in the mid-90's. Brung back some good memories!

[{Hollow Man} [NG Cut]]

Not bad!

The intro is reminiscent of Squarepusher... but as the beat comes into full force with the 'dirty as hell' bass line, it reminds me of Pendulum/Juno Reactor.

This is an astounding piece, but due to it's frequent changes, stop and start drum beat, and the distortion utilised on the majoirty of the track for the majority of the melodies, this verges more on, what I would call, Psy-Trance. Not really my idea of Drum 'N' Bass.

Favourable DnB artists: Andy C, Dillinja, DJ Hype, Groovrider, Fabio, TC, Roni Size.

If you like creating this particular crossover style, I would recommend Juno Reactor and 1200 Micrograms. They're excellent Psy-Trance composers.

Excellent song through and through. Could see this on a game somewhere in the near future. Maybe as the title music for the introduction of a game before the main screen!

9/10
