[(NUB)Damn Schoolbus Bob]

Considering it's.....

Schoolbus Bob, i'm guessing this is the Hippy thing you were alluding to in your last review response....

Now i'm kinda tarnished by that, i love the samurai thingy below me... very cool...

But now all's i can do is see some dodgy old hippy smashing into your car/truck...

Before the song starts:

Hippy crashes into car, while your in it

Intro:

You slowley exiting the car... going a bit nuts with the whole nose blowing smoke like a bull thing. Then you start chasing the guy as he and his shitty bus clunk off down the road..

First slow-down... you stop, huffing and panting, sweat dripping form your brow... you see the truck growing smaller in the distance, painted onto a canvas of horizon and setting sun...

Gradually, you pick yourself up, exhausted and tired and take up chase again, just seeing the swirls of dust in front of you, and when it disappears you just hulk out... strides get larger, you start making massive leaps forward.. gradually catching up to and grabbing the back bumper of the schoolbus...

Throwing it into the air you begin battering it, gradually crushing it down to the size of one of those clown cars... the hippies legs and elbows stick out the side....

Then you use it like a skateboard, rolling off your own horizon, slowely returning to your non-hulk self...

HAHAHAHAHH OMFG HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA HOLY SHIT MAN PERFECT LOL

[**Moments of Inspiration**]

They aint wrong...

This has such a strong 'old skool' Squaresoft flavour to it, Chrono Cross/Trigger, Seiken Dinsetsu etc etc... but the flute like sample made me instantly think of Kingdom Hearts.

Fabulous bit of work, deserves high placing, hence you get a 5 today, and a 5 tomorrow :D

KTRECORDS responds:

Haha thanks for the support man! Be sure to check out other KTRECORDS songs and see if you like them as well!

[(NUB)TheseMistakesAreForever]

....and breathe out...

10.....
Ten...
and ... oh wait... TEN!!!

You know what the best thing about this series is? It's the fact that everyone carries with it a story, i commented on both the other's how the message came across... how the first was the most emotive piece of music i had listened to for years... and this is no different...

I read in your reply to Kinonitsu "The emotion behind these mistakes isn't in the same place anymore" and you can hear it... The slight tweaks to the main melody, the harmonies that play against it and the atmospherics push this into a more Euphoric frame - especially around 2:20 where we get one of the most perfectly orchestrated break-downs that i have again heard in a LONG time...

even in the standard stakes: I..e production is awesome, that bass sample is making my eyeballs flutter on my headphones.. etc etc... this is definately worth our and, by the sounds of it, your praise...

I'm sad as everyone else to see this as the last, however what a fu-hu-king way to go out :D ...

now what do we have to do to get you some new emotions to play with ;) or is this helping already hehe...

Class act matey... can't wait for what's next...

nubbinownz responds:

These are absolutely helping. Though I don't know I might have an idea for a pretty intense song coming pretty soon. My car just got smashed last night by some drunk hippie in a schoolbus with the words " FUCK YEAH" Written on the back lol. So I might have some new inspiration coming soon! HAHAHA.

Thank you for this amazingly wonderful review once again McD. You know I always enjoy them. :D

Thank you for this man, I love these kind of reviews because they really encourage me to keep posting these songs. :D

[Nub&Scribbler - Our Mistakes 3]

This is defo.....

the best mix so far, the balance is right, the mood and tone is right for the song, the mastering was good if not great...

Are you two gona do a proper song from scratch?

I think getting the live guitar down and then being able to chop/cut/glitch it would help amazingly to the final product of your collabs :D

Scribbler responds:

We have plans to do a proper collab sometime soon so keep your ears peeled for some scrib/nubz action.

[Organized Confusion]

could you work.....

on the levels?

Unfortunately this sounds a bit to distorted to review properly, it is a bit repetitive... Did you use reason?

Sorry matey, but i just have to mark it down ont he production side of things, and he melody leaves me a little cold haha... not that it's bad, just needs a fair amount of extra work on it to make it worthwhile :D

DexHol responds:

Used Renoise, most of the sounds are samples and used a free VST for the bass.

Your right about the melody, its a bit screwed up, but i like it that way, hehe.

[Fortunate]

i don't quite know what's going on here....

But it's all seriously out of time...

Reconsider your use of what you do with the vocals....You cut out and come in with them at the wrong points for the Drums... which are too repetative... it's even a one bar reptition, which makes it sound worse than it probably is...

I like what you've tried to do... the section at 3:00 works brillaintly but by 3:24 you've lost it again...

Please have a re-consider, cos it's well produced, i just don't think it's timed in the slightest and sound bad because of it.

Hex72 responds:

Nothing goes out of time, it's all perfectly tempo synced.
I guess you just don't like the gaps I've used for a certain thumping effect. No worries though, this is really, really old. xD
I'd attempt something like this completely differently nowadays.

[Phoozle - Transparency]

Well,

That was apleasant surprise... i was unsure at the beginning due to the key sample but it has an awesome bass sample, and the ambients in the background are wikid.

It's not very often i get goosebumps when listening to something, and if i do i make sure to review it...

I think the main melody could do with dropping out here and there, being supplemented with another counter melody in the final section would be nice also, but other than that i think this is a great new addition to the DnB category.

For some reason this sounds like it should be in the credits for a series of cartoons, it just has that kind of feel about it. i really hope this gets picked up for some flash work soon.

Like i say, i don't mind the repetition, but this doesn't mark it down in my eyes. Maybe an extended version with some drum only sections... Maybe work on the drop... faded in drums are nice... but somewhere in the middle it should drop out everything but the drums and bass then come back in full force...

Very VERY good submission matey :D

phoozle responds:

Wow, thank you. Best review I have ever received on NG. I'll probaly make a version two taking your review into consideration also.

[(NUB)Enjoy The Silence]

I could have sworn....

I reviewed this already..... Strange...

This has been one of my favorite songs from original release through all the remixes i've heard, and this stands out nicely against all of them on of my favorites is the Mike Koglin Breakbeat mix on the best of Euphoria. Give it a google if you havent heard it yet (cos i can't post a link here ;) )

Seriously top game stuff here.... if i come up with a melody i'm sending it your way for sorting out :D

nubbinownz responds:

alright my man :D I'm ready for that!

[Karco - Unleashed]

This is.....

Exactly right...

And i'm with everyone on being pleasantly surprised, shame the end cuts a bit premeturely though, so using it in a mix might be a bit annoying... nothing to taxing..just i have a habit of letting things run instead of killing them off...

Great song.. should be at the top of the list

Karco responds:

Heh, the ending was a mistake I could easily fix, I'm just too lazy to. :P

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it.

[(NUB) 8 bit orgasm]

8-Bit Orgasm indeed.....

lol,

The other reviews aren't wrong, you've done yourself proud again matey, and myxibrium was write about it sounding like a theme tune or something that could be greatly used by a series....

Think i need ot brush up on my sprite/flash skills ;)

You get a 5 sir :D

nubbinownz responds:

how did I not see your review. I must have missed it completely when commenting back to my "number one fan" sillygoose69 .

Hehe thanks a bunch my man, always good to hear reviews from you :)

sometimes I wish I was artistic at all. So that I could make flash movies, lol All these ideas, none of the talent HAHA.
