"Nice to "hear" from you again dude!"

This is pretty dark and "danceable"...I like it very much, but I do think that you could have done more with the piano at the end than just one note. Maybe it would sound pretty good starting with a sustained "A" note followed by the short sustaining chords of "c", then "H", then the same long sustain of "A" followed by the same "C" note repeating that rhythm 3 times until you get back to "H" and instead of "A" again it would go to "E" then to "F". Then it would jump all the way to "d" then flowing quickly back down to "A" with "c" then "H". And finally, it would start from the beginning with the same pattern. So in essence it will look like this...

Long sustain on A, c, H, Long sustain on A, c, H, Long sustain on A, c, H, Short sustain on E, Short sustain on F, d, c, H, Long sustain on A. (Hope that wasn't too hard or confusing to follow.)

NEways, I thought that's how the piano harmony should sound instead of it just playing one note through the end. Or, maybe you wanted the piano to work more like part of the percussion.

I kinda' like your voice touch with "Out of the darkness", pretty intuitive but it does sound a little over-dramatic and too breathy. But, I can't really criticize on something I tend to have a hard time with. Vocals are a b**ch. :P

Overall man, you really had my feet moving unintentionally…that should tell you enough…GREAT dark dance/trance track!

"I love smooth pieces, therefore…"

submission: Strange Love

date: February 2, 2005

I love this one!

Very Nice AC! I think that this is one of my favs of yours man. I LOVE the STRANGE melody in this one. I love the use of the synth blips and the strings playing off on the bass...very smooth and groovin'. Also, the filter was applied at the right moments in each part of this piece. This kinda' reminds me a little of my pieces "Whispers From the Past", "Final Breath", "Last Breath", and "Repercussion". I love everything about this track, it's so soothing and inspiring to make more tracks of my own. ~_~

Congrats on getting numero cuatro on the weekly cinco favorites! Awesome man!! Keep mixin’ those great tunes bud, and maybe we could possibly collab on a piece together sometime. o_<

submission: *+*+C.9: Project Static+*+*

First and foremost...fuck you "Poonhax3". You have no right whatsoever to tell Chronamut to stop making music until you know what REAL music is. Because as far as I'm concerned as a musician, I think that his music couldn't get more real. If I gave you 20 cents to go call all the friends you know who would agree with you, you'd bring back some change. Stop downgrading people's stuff without backing it up with a good enough reason. This has happened so much with my stuff and I'm getting fucking sick with ass-hole-bitch-ass-bastards like you giving their nonsensical advice with no rhyme or reason.

Man, I swear, if ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person alive. It takes someone with a whole lotta’ ignorance to state what you seem to keep stating. I'd really like to see how you see things from your point of view but I can't seem to get my head that far up my ass.

Anyway, Chronamut, this is a fabulous track, and I believe you possess all the skills needed to make one. I love how you combined all the harmony together with the xylophone, bass-line and bells/choral “oohs”. The percussion is just plain olskool fun. Keep mixin’ those tunes man, and I’ll support you with every good cause I can congregate up. Take care bro’!

"YAY, I raised it from 3.25 to 3.60!!!"

submission: Cypher_ - The Discovery

date: November 19, 2004

I love this man! You are very talented with Reason, and I always knew you would be from your enthusiasm and great knowledge of how to make an excellent musical piece.

I think your Ambient compositions are my favorite of yours. They're so soothing to my ears. The twinkling combined with the smooth flow of the strings and harmonizing flute/pan pipe make a great Ambient piece. If anything that I have discovered through hearing this, is that compositions like this remind me why I absolutely love instrumentals. It's very reminiscent of an electronic symphonic musician named Billy Christiansen (a.k.a. "Symphonic Chronicles"). You may have heard of him. Great musician as are you!

Btw...I'd love to hear how things are going sometime man. Sorry I haven't been very sociable these past few months; I've been really bogged down with the move, and I really don't like to socialize very much on the comp when I have a very scarce amount of time I get to be on my computer. Hope to hear from you soon. ; )

"Hostilliasticly-Friggitty-F***king NICE!!!"

submission: Hostile (ZeRo BaSs Remix)

date: November 2, 2004

This is so much fun listening to my friends' remixes of my stuff, especially yours man! Awesome job Z-B!!! I love that synth at the end particularly and the sweet kickin' percus as well; it gives it more of an emotionally drawn feel to it more so than my remix. (chilly-bumps) I kinda’ wanna hear a longer version now. ; )

Your drumbeats really fit well with the flow of the main bass-line. I think my fav part is at the 15 sec mark when the drum fill kicks in. It has a sort of chilled and smooth groove to it that eventually tells your legs to make your body jump up and hit the sound frequencies in the air creating a “hostile” and aggressive dance in mid-air. Also, the sound samples add a nice atmospheric sound complementing the bass-line. Love the echoes!

Well, what more can I say? It’s dark and heavy…just the way I love my D&B served on a cold platter of metallic flavor. Nice work my man, and thank you for your dedication and for staying on NG long enough to submit this awesome track!

Take care Alex!

"10/10 ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!!!!!!"

submission: *Lightspeed Lovers*[ZeRo BaSs]

10/10 ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!!!!!!

Hey 0_BaSs! First off, I want to tell you that this is my fav Dance track of yours. You SHOULD be proud of this. It is so reminiscent of my early Techno childhood nights when I just started listening to, in my opinion, the best music to ever hit any audible listeners ears. So many possibilities and diversity in this type of music with such pure emotional drive behind it accelerating it into a high climatic drive right into the heartstrings of everyone’s aural senses. This dance track in particular is a perfect example of your exemplary talent man. I absolutely love the vocal samples in this…”Do you want me?…Eehaaayhaaaaay…want me…give me love, give me love…I’m your DJ”. VERY hot bro’!

Now, what’s this I hear from all these reviewers about you leaving us? I remember you telling me that Paragon was going to leave if these ass-cracks kept lowering his scores for no reason, but not you. L Man, now I REALLY want to get this elite audio portal thing up and moving so we can end this madness. Ever since that Djinn dweeb started lowering my stuff, all my friends in the audio portal were being attacked the same way. I am so sorry to hear this because I was really just getting to know more about you bro’. Please, if you truly are deciding to leave or take a long vacation away from NG, please, please, PLEASE don’t lose contact my brother. You are one of the few I admire here for their friendly and outgoing attitude. I will miss hearing your kick-ass, adrenaline-pumping, emotional-driving, electro-beats. You’ve really made such an awesome impact on a lot of people’s music here. I know this because I was one of them. I remember hearing “...:War horizon:...” for the first time; the music was so similar to the music in a favorite game I used to play back in the late ‘90s. That composition was what got me started on your music. You’re awesome ZeR-0, don’t leave us, I beseech thee. I will give you all the support I have if you stay man. Please don’t abandon your NG-AP brothers.

Btw…this is still my favorite track of yours.

"Nice addition E-D!"

submission: Evil-Dog - The Sands of Time

date: October 13, 2004

So, you decided not to call this piece "Third Awakening"? I love the addition of the atmospheric effects, the nice drum roll, organ, chimes, harp/violin plucks, synths, electric guitar, choir/vocal wails, guitar, sitar, xylophone, bell tolls, and cellos. Quite a bit of changes from the original you let me hear the beginning of. You’re really impressive E-D with combining certain notes together and matching the meter with the tempo you start out with and matching the harmony with the melody. Very epic sounding!

Congrats on getting weekly número uno! Did you try and do what I told you about submitting right before the hour deadline to see how the weekly favs are actually decided upon…high scores? Either way, this definitely fits the #1 spot on the top 5ive of the week.

"Nice job!!! But..."

submission: *+*+United Realm+*+*

date: October 4, 2004

This is pretty impressive, but it's not my "Bastion of Dreams". This is "United Realm"...the last composition you reviewed of mine. I like how well you got all the notes exact; that can be a complete headache at times. It's not exactly what I was expecting, but nonetheless has your unique video game style. I can't wait to see what you can do with Reason when you start using it.

Keep up the great remixes, and you are always welcome to remix any of my tunes as long as you tell me about it before hand so I can keep my eyes and ears out for them. Thanks for making this man!

BTW...HAPPY belated B-DAY!!!

"Any Techno mixed with a piano tune has got my ears"

submission: Flames of the Sky

date: September 25, 2004

It's nice to hear/see a new style and great taste in musical composition in the AP! I sure hope you're honestly letting everyone here know that YOU did create this even though you are 14 because it is VERY rare to hear of a musical prodigy...much less one on Newgrounds. I really don't mean to sound or come across as saying that a 14 year old couldn't create something this good; I just think it's utterly amazing if you are true to your submission. If so, awesome job man!!!

I absolutely LOVE the piano harmony! It flows so smoothly throughout the rest of the piece while keeping a sort of composure amongst all the beat and synths. The nice almost ambient intro is what kept me listening to this tune, which just added to the entrancing puzzle of smooth and flowing bass completed with moving synths. This was all pieced together with the rising and falling of piano keys hit with flawless notes back to back. Also, the builds just add to the awesomeness into a great climatic raise in tempo.

So, now hopefully you see why it makes me wonder that someone so young as yourself made such a great piece of audio art. Anyways dude, that was a nice choice of Techno!

"Keep knocking those beats"

submission: Alien Genome - Downside V2

date: August 31, 2004

This is just overwhelmingly kick-ass. This should've gone under the Industrial genre only because of it's heavy distorted guitar riffs. It's not Metal because of the electric beats and synths. So, Industrial would more appropriately relate to the sound I think. Either way, it's f***ing awesome.

I love all your stuff because of the amount of time and effort you pour into these great eclectic tracks full of variety and quality. You need to try and submit more often. A lot of people are really missing out on your talent because of this. I think that this "Alien Genome series" are my fav of yours. I love "Lunch" and "Follow Me". I also like "Help Me" by you. Great stuff man! Please submit more soon at your earliest convenience.
