"HEAVY ASS ATMOSPHERE"

submission: Intelligent Systems

date: October 5, 2009

This one is like atmosphere to the max man. Overall it feels a bit static and as if it could have gone more places, perhaps some moving chord progressions or something. They modulations are nice though.

This is like some spy music man. Like it seriously sounds professional. The synths you use are seriously badass.

Score: 10

"Dude you love Dorian mode! =)"

submission: Steps...

date: September 22, 2009

That major sixth in the ambience is really pleasing. And I love this hits at 3:26! I think there are some weird note choices after those hits, like when you kind of vary the notes. I guess it somewhat bothers my ears, but I still love the track. Epicness.

Score: 10

"Cream in my jeans"

submission: 80's Alleyway Altercation

date: September 22, 2009

I don't even have the words to describe the immense joy I receive from listening to that main melodic line. That is like what you call very advanced atmosphere haha. And that 5/4 intro riff playing over the 4/4 song is so freakin' clever man, I love it.

Score: 10

"Heavy imagery in this one"

submission: Rupture Farms

date: September 19, 2009

I think my favorite part of the song is that totally eargasmic melodic riff at about 0:20 seconds. Sounds quite diminished or something, very fitting for the mood. Also the steady and pulsating burst of rhythms that is first heard at 0:04 is a nice touch. I appreciate you sharing this creation. Very unique.

Score: 10

"Very interesting atmosphere to this song"

submission: Undercover Skulltula

date: September 19, 2009

I think any Zelda fan would appreciate the emotional response from listening to this song. I love that the form of the song is sort of free in its structure (in a more literal sense), and yet the song is structured in an emotional sense. Very cool that you did that. Zelda 4 Lyf3!!!

"I loved your Trance back in the day"

submission: -MrMaestro- My Vision

date: September 13, 2009

I feel like my favorite music of yours was back when you were kind of in this kind of transitional stage between VG trance and Classical. I think your latest Classical pieces are good, but I personally just felt like there was some extreme level of unmatched genuineness when there was that bit of trance involved in your music. I'm not sure how to describe it really. I mean as musicians/artists we all progress and evolve and change and I can dig that, and I certainly have a lot of respect for all the work you've done. I'm certain you will continue to improve and keep making great music, but I just thought I'd share how I felt about your past/current music. Long live David Orr =)

"Dimrain, you never disappoint..."

submission: Operation: Evolution

date: June 7, 2008

The intro is absolutely amazing. Especially with that ascending run at 0:21 seconds, that make me die every time haha. You truly are a musical genius, and with this song have inspired me to start writing techno again. I hope one day I can compose something as eargasmic as this. Please never stop Dimrain--you rock so hard.

Score: 10

"Another great showing of talent..."

submission: -Orr- Christmas Eve

date: November 12, 2006

Your songs all definitely have an "Orr" feeling to them. I'm not sure what it is, but there's something that makes all of your songs unique. I think I hear that Augmented 5th a lot in your songs (1:35 in this song).

Anyway, is that S.Choirs you're using (the background voices)? Have you experimented with WordBuilder yet?

Keep up the great work.

Score: 10

"Sensational"

submission: _-={The Tanks Thunder}=-_

date: September 30, 2006

I am getting goosebumps as I listen to this. And I agree with Unborn-reason that the choirs add a lot to this. Your orchestral skills are obviously apparent though, and are the shining point of this piece.

If I were to suggest one thing, I'd say add a couple more bridges in the song that vary the energy levels in this song. For the most part, it feels like there is one energy level pushed on throughout the song. If you know what I mean, adding a couple more areas in the song that lack energy will make listeners appreciate the energy of the chorus/main parts even more.

And also maybe add a couple of bridges that are even louder/explosive with bigger and more instruments playing with percussion pounding and crashing.

It's hard to critique since it was already well done, but I just like to give some advice to everyone.

Score: 9

"Hey I like it bro"

submission: {Culpa Arpi}

date: September 30, 2006

I would've said that this song gets a bit repetitive and you should try to add in some new/dual melodies/beats, but then I realized that you meant this to be ambient music.

The first thing that I noticed though was that fuzzy synth that just immediately dropped out in the beginning. If you faded it out gradually, I think it would make the intro a lot better.

Anyway, keep on with the music my friend. Keep your chin up. =)
