[MechanicalRonin]

This is fantastic! Extremely strong production. Love how hard hitting it is while retaining interesting melodies and good pacing.

YouriX responds:

Hahahahaha! Im glad you're diggin it man.

[Our Legend Falls]

Holy s...

Wo...

Um...

I don'...

5/5 .

[Fleeting Forest Lights]

Very atmospheric piece. Really really good. The reverbs and overall production are great. Those extremely distant and reverby drums towards the end are a hauntingly awesome touch.

Not much to criticize honestly. Great stuff!

Krichotomy responds:

Yay! I'm bad at production, so I'm pleased to get a compliment on it. Also, I'm quite pleased at your appreciation of the deep drums. They're a significant part of the piece to me but I can see other people not caring for them.

[~SW~ Float]

Great piece, very soothing, very bright, very atmospheric. Love the background effects.

SkyeWint responds:

Thanks! Glad you like the piece!

[When It's Cold]

So I'm going through these contest submissions, telling myself"Huh, I think I've got my Top 3 Fan Favorites established", thinking the last ones I still have to review are unlikely to alter my choice, and then this comes up and BOOM, OBLITERATED!

This is immensely beautiful. And then at 1:27 it becomes peculiarly beautiful. And then at 1:33 is becomes hauntingly beautiful. And at 1:48 it becomes profoundly beautiful and at 1:55 it becomes heroically beautiful. And at 2:07 it becomes all the previous types of beautiful into one.

I don't think I've ever heard a song with such a consistently beautiful chord progression in my life.

This gave me chills and almost stole a tear.
Bravo.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Wow! Thanks a million for that inexpugnably beautiful review :'D

It amazes how much positive feedback this song has received, but I still never imagined that this composition could alter someone's choice for the fan favorites!

I love how you pointed out different sections of the piece by describing how beautiful they are, using different adverbs :3
2:07 is actually my favorite part!
I think the main reason as to why this song is beautiful to many listeners, is that the piano is really a live recording. I always feel like I can portray so much more emotion that way :')
(Actually, it's really all thanks to ohtooeasy, for making such a wonderful and inspiring artpiece).

I'm happy that you and many others have liked the chord progression too! Chord progressions are one of the few things that I think I'm pretty good at, when it comes to composing. I still don't think I come close to your level though. You're an amazing musician! So are pretty much everyone that took part of this competition... I am baffled.

Again, thank you for the heartwarming review!

[The Place of a Skull]

Very atmospheric, very engaging.
Great soundscape and melodies take interesting turns at certain times.

Not much I can criticize here. Great job!

[Fox-trot Fletcher]

Extremely well constructed. It achieves what it sets out to very very well. Congratulations!

steampianist responds:

thanks mate

[Stay in the Fall]

First song I download off of Newgrounds for later leisurely listening.

You're probably tired of Nirvana comparisons, but it really captures a certain bittersweet vibe that was invaluable to Cobain's success.

That said, it's definitely its own thing and deserves its own praises.

Bravo!

motakay responds:

Wow, dude! Thanks alot! Means alot to me to hear! And I could never get tired of to get compared to mr. Cobain, that is like the best compliment! Thank you, thank you , thank you! :)

[Cosmic Stream of Life]

This does what it sets out to do very very well.

Great track. Very bright, very uplifting, very catchy, very groovy.

Production is also great, though I feel the mix sounds a biiiiiit overcompressed when the full spectrum of synths and sounds come into play. That's my only bit of criticism. Love the track!

EctiBot responds:

Thx man :D. Glad you liked it :). Know what you mean about the sound compression :) I'll look into it.
Thx for reviewing :D.

Ps. Also, I absolutely loved "Shards":D I'll be dropping a review on it in the near future ;).

[Gears keep turning]

...

Holy sh**!

I mean, it could use a bit more variation, but what's here is extremely good, very deep and rolls extremely well rhythmically. Fantastic production as well. Congrats!

OmegaP responds:

Thank-you, I did not think that I would get such positive feedback for this.
