"A Visitor to the Ghost Town"

submission: Idep (WIP) 4/9 done

date: November 28, 2009

It's perfect for the first stage of a survival horror game.

The player is unnerved and uneasy, but is not yet panicking and fighting for his life. It would go well with scenes where the player is glimpsing flickers of movement from the corners of his eye, but never quite seeing the things which are shadowing him. The player would feel that he was under surveillance but has no idea where the watchers are.

The stretched out tones are creepy but the crisp drum beats and the up tempo rythym keep it tense and exciting and stop it becoming a droning lament.

I also loved the sparse twangy guitar chords that start at 02.00, the way they echo slightly reinforces the idea of a deserted space.

Having some of the sounds fading in and out subtly is also good for suggesting stealthy background movement in the mind of the listener.

My only complaint is that I would like it to be a bit longer with more of the mournful echoing Spanish guitar sounds you used towards the end of the track.

Overall, I think you have really hit your target and are acheiving the intended atmosphere.

Score: 10

"Grim and menacing, a monstrous theme"

submission: Dark Ages - Complete

date: November 4, 2009

Wow this is quite impressive. It brought to mind a daydream of a giant factory where clockwork soldiers were being gradually assembled, and when the army was completed the machine soldiers proceed to raze a few towns and villages, butchering the citizens with no mercy. Kind of like a steampunk version of Terminator...

It also made me think it would make a good theme to a David Cronenberg film or something similar. It has that quality of despairing horror and fearful awe.

Score: 8

"Short but sweet"

submission: ° Space Station °

date: November 4, 2009

This sounds like a great start to an ambient / trance track, but its way waaaayy too short.

I would like to hear a much longer version. Some Video Game fx would also mix in well.

Score: 8

"Half tidy"

submission: [8-bit] Prepare for battle

date: November 2, 2009

This is pretty good - sounds kind of ominous and contemplative. Sounds vaguely oriental too - not sure if you intended that or not.

Score: 10

"Massive"

submission: Syrsa - Edmyron - Cruiser

date: October 3, 2009

Takes a while to get going, but this track builds into an epic ever expanding soundscape !

An excellent trance tune. Would make a perfect match for any Science Fiction themed flash.

Score: 8

"Nice chillout ambient"

submission: Syrsa - Phasmia - Escasia

date: October 3, 2009

Good inspirational tune, helps me think of story sub plots ! Keep on trucking.

Score: 9

"Tension"

submission: Rucklo - Fear the Flight v.3

date: September 9, 2009

Very good for building a sense of tension and suspense, I just regret it isn't longer in duration !

Score: 10

"Converted"

submission: Hip Hop Halloween

date: September 1, 2009

Normally I am not a fan of Hip Hop at all, but this track is completely amazing and has won me over totally. The beats are absolutely hypnotic and it loops perfectly.

Score: 10

"Still fantastic"

submission: Scapping Vibes

date: September 1, 2009

A Perfect tune. It always sounds fresh and fierce and ready to tear your face off. Fast, agressive, but also slightly mournful. Brief but still totally epic, I could listen to it for hours.

Deserves a way higher score than 4.02, that's for sure.

Score: 10

"Unstoppable momentum"

submission: DJ Comet-Red Alert

date: September 1, 2009

I love the feeling of relentless velocity from this choon, the howling and whooping in the background is an excellent extra touch. Would be excellent theme for chase / pursuit scene in a flash.
