Nice one

It's groovy, playful, upbeat, and awesome. Definitely a keeper. Love the transition from 2:58 to 3:22. Especially the bass at 3:02. So awesome. Also the outro melody is fantastic with the jazzy feel. Really well done!

Thanks thumbsupguy! :D Glad to see the fun I had making it is bein' felt by those hearing it!

Catchy!

This music style is one of my favorites! Great work with blending the piano with the techno. You pulled it off quite well! Also, I think you succeeded in making the sounds more crisp. I'm also a fan of triplets, so 0:46 was my favorite part. Thanks for submitting! It's great!

lol, your name is hilarious!

Thanks. I sorta combined whatever melodies were in my head and put them together. It's more of a mini medley than an actual song I guess.

Thanks for reviewing! :D

Wow, well done.

The title fits the piece quite nicely. I really enjoyed the build up to the point where you get to visualize the castle in the sky. The instruments that you chose work great together to create this ambient, yet courageous feel. Great Job!

Thanks! I am glad you liked it.

Mm Mmm, Good.

These kind of tracks are great to listen to. I love the piano melody in the dance/trance songs. One of my favorite genres. The only thing that bothered me a little bit was the lead that came in at 00:16. It needs to be a bit smoother and clean. I can't quite find the right word for it but it's as if there is a small amount of phlegm in someones throat when they talk, if that makes sense. Unless this was intended, try listening for the clarity of instruments in some future audio. (Just something to keep in mind). Otherwise, sweet job!

Thanks man! I really appreciate your review. About that synth, I kinda like it that way, so yeah of was intentional. But nevertheless, thanks anyhow!

I'm digg'n this.

Nicely done. Your choice of leads and synths are perfect for this track. It's very inspirational to listen to tracks like these and you definitely pulled it off. Once again, well done.

Pointers

The song has some potential, but right now it's kind of hard to find the downbeat. I'm not sure if the downbeat is with the melody when it comes back in at 00:10 or if it's with the bass drum. Try placing the drum beats on 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 to start off. Then, try adding in some other bass beats on the "and" counts between the quarter note beats.

Also, try making the tempo changes more smooth. They currently seem too abrupt for this piece.

Something that is missing from this piece would be a bass instrument to back up the melody. It will fill some of the empty space.

Keep working on music! The more practice, the better!

TheGrayK responds:

Thanks I really appreciate your review.
I have very little experience in writing music I pretty much don't know how to read it but I can kind of make out what your trying to tell me. And I will definitely smooth out the tempo change.
Again Thank you so much for the Constructive feedback.
It is truly appreciated.

Chill up my spine.

Ah Yeeeah! This song reminds me of some old N64 games like the ones mentioned byWeirdAlthe3rd and higgles. Also, great use of bass. The bass instrument really gave this song the perfect industrial atmosphere. When the bass first entered, I got chills. That's how awesome it is...
Keep doing what ya do 'cause ya do it well. (nice steam whistle additions)

PuffballsUnited responds:

Thanks! The bass does give the feel of a conveyor belt or something which is what I was going for.
