I'll give ya a review, and some advice.
The sound balancing was good, maybe a little less drums. They seemed to be too overpowering to the actual melody. It got a bit boring towards the middle, so you might wanna mix it up a bit more next time.
Add some different instruments, or combine a few instruments to make some new sounds, that's what music is all about anyway.
And as for getting reviews. You do not need to spam it on your description. Best way that I could see to get reviews, is to review as many songs as possible. That way, other people appreciate what you are doing and hopefully return the favor. If they don't, oh well. You got a lot more than one person seeing the review you posted anyway.
So keep that in mind, and keep making music!
overall - repetitious, add some more sounds

alright, ill keep that in mind

The beginning was kinda misleading for the rest of the song, to me at least.
Needs some more bass. Bass all around actually (bass drum, bass guitar, bass notes)
The treble stuff just seems to dominate the track too much in my opinion
The solo didn't really fit the distortion of the entire song
nice bridge (but more bass like i said before (bass drum))
overall - great song
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! I really got to fix the volume on my bass drum... I could use new speakers too. When I record my music, I usually can't hear the bass that well cause of my crappy speakers, so I have to guess about how loud the bass should be. Sometimes I'm dead on, sometimes I'm not even close. I agree that the bass needs to be louder, and I'll probably fix that soon. Thanks again for the review!

i liked the synth going throughout the song, it fit together quite nicely
the offbeats of the bass drum didn't feel right though. Maybe try another instrument there.
drum beat was alright, could've used more to it though
1:50 the piano...i didn't prefer it. good try though, i was really waiting for something to come in though, just the piano didn't quite do it. not sure what instrument would fit well there for this kind of a song, maybe a different sounding synth of some sort?
oh well, i'm just rambling
overall - pretty good, needs some more wood on the fire though
Author's Response:
Thanks for the comments. I may tweak it a little more here and there, but for the most part this is supposed to be an upbeat yet surreal sounding piece. For wood on the fire, wait for #2 in the series, {IDR}-Sepia. :)

Reminds me of those long days mining!
I liked your usage of the piano.
It needed something else for the climactic part of the song
An extra kick of something higher that fades in maybe?
overall - really enjoyed this

Author's Response:
Hrm, yes, it seems it could use a little something else. I'll fiddle around with some sounds to make it more "climactic" when I get the time.
Thanks for the review!

Nice calming piece
The part around 3:00 felt a little awkward
Not really my type of classical
but
overall - i liked the calmness of the track

Although i'm not too into jazz, this was quite an enjoyable piece.
I really liked the bass
The trumpet was nice also
The piano part at around 0:32 would of sound better in the beginning IMO
overall - nice background listening music (i was listening to this while looking at something else XD )
Author's Response:
thanx for review
i almost agree with about the piano part, is softer than the rest of the tune, but because i like contrasts put it there (also because i jazz you should usually have the theme and then solos)
"nice background listening music (i was listening to this while looking at something else XD )"
somebody told me that my music is very "porn" ...so ... what were you looking at ?
:)))
thanx for the nice review and useful advices

The beat and melody is amazing. I liked 0:41 especially.
Sometimes the drums didn't go along anymore
maybe try switching them up a little more next time?
nice fade out in the end
overall - expand on parts like 0:41 a bit more
Author's Response:
thanx
i'll put a solo later, let's see how will go with this ;)
i'll try also switching ...

Nice parts, but they got a little repetitious.
It seemed to flow quite nicely though
Good use of synth too
overall good tune
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review man. Yea, I know it gets a bit repetitive I even explained that in my description. I can't think of a good way to add more without completely changing the song or making it sound weird.

At some points in time the synth panning began to become more of a nuisance than a good sound. You should try to limit panning effects so that it doesn't become too annoying in longer songs like this.
The ending was probably the best part i'd say.
Using that synth (the one i mentioned..) in the beginning especially was good.
Overall, a good tune.
8/10
4/5

Was pretty good but the bass synth(whatever ya wanna call it..) seemed to overpower the rest of the track at a few points.
Other than that, I really liked the rhythm. It all fit together quite nicely.

Haha, thanks for the review! :)
