Sounds like it could be for a computer game. Erie sounds. Good for haunted ghostly type things.

Was that a South Park sample? I believe it was... :) Seems like a pretty good industial tune, but since I don't listen to a lot of this type of music I'm finding myself wondering what to say about this piece. All right, here's something: The overall feeling of the piece is fairly constant, but there's still enough variation in it that it stays interesting. As I said, I don't listen to this style very much, but I did like this song. Well done.

A very strange tune. A very bad quality sound. It has an stop in the pattern 24 that really doesn´t fits. Originality and technique are over the rest.

Reminds me of the industrial music Skinny Puppy would do. Really well done industrial piece. Here, the vocals actually help the song! Very rarely do vocals work. Yet, in this one, they MADE the song! It rocks. I love the harshness of the song... very industrial - very impressive. The only complaint would be the lack of variation. Yes, many industrial songs fall victim to this problem. Just because it's industrial does not give it an excuse from extensive development and variation. A simple change of key was about the only major variation. Yet, development in the beginning was enough to impress me.

Man, I really liked this song, but one or two nagging things kept me from giving this 80+. The "Army of Darkness" samples were great, but the built in delay on them was unnecessary and wasteful of memory. Using 2 or 3 more channels would have been better, and the song still could have stayed under 32 channels. The way the beginning built up and then dropped was a great tension builder. This song effectively evoked a specific mood, and it's clear the composer kept this in mind while tracking. The assorted drops/breaks kept my attention while still retaining a smooth flow. The chord change at 17 was a bit too odd (even for this song :), but with that exception, all the changes were clean and worked well. Either it wasn't there or it was too buried, but in either event, the leads would have sounded even darker had they had some lazy, creatively panned delay on them. This song just "dripped" evil sounds. If I had to label it a style, I'd have to call it gangsta demon trip hop or something. :) Definitely a part of my permanent collection.

Samples were bad. Some sounded like they were ripped from an old mod. The music felt kinda bland. The intro was okay but coulda used more oomph. Good mood. Too ambient. The voice samples were good but weren't accented enough. This song isn't powerful enough to hold up the voice samples. Ending didn't fit quite right. Good luck on your next song.

eerie expression - scenic - medium quality samples - medium tracking skill
