[Sonic 2 Final Boss-Metaljonus]

Where's my tongue? Oh there it is! ON THE FLOOR!

:O

My God. Incredeeeble.

[Terminator Theme Rearranged]

Not bad. Needs more power!

This is a good try, however it lacks something in power. The middle section about (0:50) with gongs sounds very ethnic, and something you wouldnt associate with terminator. I like the remix as a remix of the theme, but it doesnt work what terminator is. He's a machine from the future, your theme should emphasise this, almost like the drums are the footsteps of the robots in the future.

The bit in the middle at 0:50 was to illustrate the wreckage of it all, so it should be extremely significant in your music that all is gone, and hope is nearly vanished. Try and attempt the power of terminator. If you arent going for that, the only other way would have it as a sad theme or a horror chase theme. This is somewhere between it all. Fitting in another context maybe, but not for terminator.

It's good, and your potential shows, but for terminator it needs that EPIC feel.
I like it though. :)

7/10 rounded up. 4/5.

[Reign of War (complete)]

I like it!

They dont mean the volume of the track, they mean the mastering. Youve hit redzone alot on this with the drums, making some speakers crackle and sound distortion will occur on alot of sound systems. Instead of having it so loud, bring it all down and try and master it.

Anyway, onto the track I like it. I like the drums, but it would have portrayed so much more dominant if it were the brass that came through, you have a nice theme going on there too, it's somewhat lost unfortuanately due to the drums. I think you should remaster and upload this again, bringing down the volume of the drums so we can hear the amount of work you obviously have put into this.

Nice work.

[He's a pirate (potc rmx)]

hehe excellent!

This is really cool. However I wouldnt class this as classical. It's more metal/rock than classical. Especially with the drums and electric guitar solo. The piece is good though, and I think guitar work is awesome.

The orchestra is alright, they arent doing anything different whiich would have made a nice addition if they were more passionate. Also 'He's a pirate' was composed by Klaus Badelt not Zimmer, who only did the the Pirate sequel scores but used Badelts theme.

[Intro Formosa]

I like it.

It's pretty good, but you had alot of potential lost by lack of percussion. You had hint of it with your timps but for the strength of the symphony is called for just as strong percussion.

Nice one though. 8/10, 4/5.

Pomerance responds:

Maybe you are right... I didn't really think of any more fitting percussions though (well, maybe some bass drums and the occassional triangle, but I don't really see ie. a snare in this composition); what is your opinion on this? Taikos perhaps?

[Epic Trials and Tribulations 1]

Let's up this baby!

A well deserved 10. Awesome composer, deserves major credit for this.

Give this guy his due folks. Rate this high, its a really well created piece, oozing with worksmanship and effort.

:D

paradoxphenomena responds:

Thanks for the Review, really appreciate you taking the time to do it.

[Sonic 2 - Boss]

Awesome! Classic!

This is the song that has made me favourite you! Brings me back to the old days. :D Excellent stuff. Very fun!

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

Hey thnx a lot pete. Wish I could check your stuff out, but turns out the only computer here is the one without speakers :P Maybe later, eh? Thnx again.

[[madboss] - One Choice]

Nice

I really like it, however the mastering needs a bit of work to really let us hear the quality. Keep it up.

[Epic Trials and Tribulations 2]

Awesome.

I listened to your other track (part1) and this track and both are excellent! I like the whole sound to it all, very dramatic! And the type of music I enjoy. Keep it up!

I hear a bit Van Helsing with the guitar. I don't know if you were going for that sound, but the spanish guitar gave me that impression. Superb.

It's music like this that has made me ask NG to have a Film Score Section in it's audio submission area. It desperately needs it.

paradoxphenomena responds:

Thanks for the review, and i think the film score section is a great idea and I'll back you up on that any day.

[_Dreadnaught_]

Excellent as Always!

Your stuff is amazing man. I really like the diversity of it all. You know exactly how to make it sound with pace while not having it at all repetitive. Excellent. It's so wild yet tells a fantastic story.
