[[Fiji] Complexities]

Glad to see you made the top 5 :D

This shit is great, you've really come such a long way.

I know you've spent a lot of time on this and put in a lot of hard work so I would have demanded you make top 5....oh wait lol.

Regardless, I really like this track. Kinda creepy how all the recordings are about people dying lol.

keep it up, you still owe me that collab :P

MrFijiWiji responds:

[- Ambiguous]

Nice

This is me responding to your PM on youtube :P Already listened to your track in full, listening again as I write this...

This has a very unique sounding introduction, the melody is simple yet very solid. good work.

0:00 - 0:25

Best part of the song imo. You nailed this one pretty well. however I think it could use a bit more reverb, and possibly some more ambiance. The bells really give this song character, actually I think that the reason I like this part the best is because it reminds me of my own genre. nicely done.

0:25 when the drums hit came as a bit of a surprise you've got rhythm down pretty well, though the melody loses its focus. I think you ought to expand on it and build harmonies and melodic structure ;)

also, the percussion is pretty well done though I think it would be nice if you put some filters on it to make it more interesting. the mixing is fairly good on this too. really I don't have much else to critque except to keep building on this. It's a good song, but it could be better, greater, if you go a little further. Particularly with the melody.

at about 1:00 that breakdown is nice, but if it were me I'd make it a tad longer and bring in something new. from that point on the song doesn't seem to change much. it's like you repeated the first section.

2:00

nice ending. lol I love how when the track loops back around in the NG player it sounds like it's all seamlessly transitioned from the end to the beginning again :D

For the most part, this is good. 9/10 keep it up and keep me posted if you change anything

Or4nges responds:

Thanks so much man! Yeah I realize it's kind of repetitive, but I thought maybe the shortness of the track would make up for that :P

When I improve it, i'll be sure to tell you :D

Thanks again.

[[Fiji_&_RNG] Infused]

awesome.

everything sounds really clear. mastering is great, melody flows well. love the glitching vox you have in there. I can hear both of your styles in there. but they work great together really well.

I can tell you both worked really hard on it. keep it up.

MrFijiWiji responds:

thnx :)

[Remix Demo]

Instead of being a jerk like you were to me....

I'll give you a REAL review that goes over all of the aspects of the song properly, versus the biased, not-so-constructive one you gave my track.

first off, you have too much treble going. It hurts my ears and it's harsh. I'm sure you probably wouldn't mind that happening to my ears either but your audience certainly doesn't feel like going deaf anytime soon.

good to see that you've finally gotten the hang of side chaining. however, you have like absolutely no real kick going. I can't hear any sign of real impact at all. not sure if you did that on purpose or if you just didn't know so I'll move on from that point. the pluck that comes in sounds pretty good. perhaps could use a bit more modulation but other than that you did well in that respect.

This track has practically no reverb that I can make out at all besides the pluck. EVERYTHING else is completely dry. the mix is sort of unbalanced and the clap is standing out in a weird, almost unwanted sort of way. You have a good sense of rhythm but everything is just too harsh.

overall I'd give this an 8 for your efforts. I'm sure you worked hard on this track and put some real time into it so it would be unfair of me to zero it like you did to my track.

besides the track itself, I just have to say that you have a very strange way of expressing yourself. I mean, you're clearly upset with me, otherwise you would not have told me to fuck off or zeroed TWO of my tracks or left unjust reviews about how much you hate me. Truth is though, I never did anything wrong to you. You're overreacting to absolutely nothing and making a joke of yourself.

good day to you and I hope that your anger goes into making some good songs, NOT into taking it out on people the way you have been.

8/10

DanceNation responds:

we'll talk on msn, I'll unblock you.

[Smoulder [RNG]]

your kick

has improved soo dramatically its ridiculous.

great track.

Sirdangolot5 responds:

Thanks bro! :D

[Glancing Back - F-777]

Dude this is excellent. You should be proud.

I love this, the melody is outstandingly good.

production-wise, there are a few parts where it clips so you might want to go back and get those little blips out, but I have full confidence you'll do it :)

This is absolutely breathtaking nonetheless!

I think you should extend it, make a 6 min version ;) That would so totally be the shit.

F-777 responds:

That means a lot coming from you man =).
Ya im making a longer version already.

Thanks so much!!
(I will fix the parts it clips at)

[Better This Way ~ [Clean Mix]]

much better!

I like this a lot :) great work.

your basslines are starting to sound much cleaner, and your kick is definitely standing out better in your tracks :)

melodies are pretty similar in your songs, but I think this one is just cool. very laid back, has a lot of energy.

keep it up

-TC-

MrFijiWiji responds:

haha yes i agree similar melodies... this was really just like the improved version of Novocaine :)

[Sunfish (NG Edit) [RNG]]

great work

awesome track! no complaints

Sirdangolot5 responds:

Thanks man. From you that means a whole lot :D

[Sunfish (Extended Mix) [RNG]]

nice

the chord progression is very nice, love the laid back style you have going here.

build up was a bit boring in the beginning but quickly picks up nicely. for your first song containing pads, you pulled them off quite well.

percussion was a bit too simple for my taste, but I think that's something that comes with practice.

anyways, voted 5 and here's my score.

Sirdangolot5 responds:

Bawwww

another nine D:<

Thanks anyways man! :D
