[{The Trip}]

hmmmm

im about 3/4ths through it, although its not an EXCITING piece, its definetly ambient, and you keep that property throughout the song. I was writing my english paper to this and i found it to be a great background. Im not great at writing reviews but this is definetly worth the download, great work.

[Chaoz Fantasy(ParagonX9 RMX)]

good

intro was a bit long, but the added bass throughout the song helped make it into a great remix. although a good remix, it left me with an empty feeling like it needed more. Loops nice, but add more depth to it and you have yourself a great track. Keep it up ill definetly be listening to your other work.

[:-{-Clairvoyant Dreams-}-:]

good work

i love this song but i wish the piano came in sooner, it seemed to add more depth.

ArcaneClock responds:

Thanks! I agree with you about the piano, however, because I was not able to create a more synchronized/advanced piano sequence due to midi controller lag issues (and to avoid repetition) I decided not to over-extend the main melody and instead used the piano as a closer.

[LoZ Overworld March 2]

nice

great mix on overlord, its fast paced, which is good for a flash video. i honestly dont know what to say lol its 1am sooooo ill just give u a 10 on this, another well done piece.

Thanks for your review.

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Fantasy]

amazing

this song contains different elements ive never seen you use, yet it still maintains a hint of your old style of VG. Breathtaking, i wouldnt expect less coming from your music. Love the piano.

btw isnt this more trance based than drum-n-bass?

10/10

[Runescape - Medieval (nonMID!)]

nice

me being a runescape player myself, id always turn off the music ingame because it was so fruity, but this nonMID version really shows that if done correctly, rs music can be turned into amazing songs. Well done.

paradiddlesjosh responds:

Thanks for your review. Y'see, the music for RS is well-written; it's just in a MIDI format -- which has bad sound quality compared to the real thing (or the soundfont thing I've got going. :P). What I find as worse is that people on NG who do "remixes" or "arrangements" of RS songs always take the MIDI and just paste stuff on top of it -- everything from badly EQ'd instrument samples to God-awful default beats from FL STUDIO 4. And that sounds even worse.
