Title: The Colours of the Autumn
Genre Classical / Soundtrack
It is wonderfull to me to reaçize that there are orchestral composers hiding out there.
I love classical music and I am a big fan of soundtracks.
Mr. Kulik says in one his webpages: "...In my youth I studied the classical guitar, but I prefer to compose an illustrative or film music.
My achievements are at the moment modest - little of the music to documentary films..."
This piece of composition here fits like a glove as background music for a documentary, in my opinion.
The author uses only computer, nothing is really played here but the sound is very nice.
Strings sounds very close to real ones.
Overall sound is great.
I cannot put it under any classical style. It is different than any orchestral pieces I´ve heard before.
For sure an unique style of composing.
Sometimes reminds me Mozart´s pieces, sometimes Mendelssohn. Do not ask me why, no particular reason.
If you like soundtrack orchestral pieces, this is for you.
Very nice

Artist: D Dash Flow
Title: I Will Die 4 You
Genre: HipHop
The last review I made here (Colin´s future past) was a tough one for me.
Here with D Dash we have a good example about a song that is not my taste at all but I can see good things on it.
I am not here just to judge what fits to my taste but to provide a honest review in the musical and technical aspect.
Technically it is not bad. It is not particular fantastic but everything is there. The sound is nice, bright and clear. You can hear everything and everything is well put, so to speak. The sounds choice of the instruments are nice. Not spectacular but nice.
The song begins with a nice female voice and an ambiental/orchestral like enviroment.
Soon the beat enters along with the voice.
What to say about the vocal performance?
Well I do not like it. It appears to me that the vocalist is too shy, afraid of the microphone. This is my first impression.
Breeding is also something that I can perceive. It is bad. The vocalist is not breeding properly. First step to be a good singer is to know how to breed properly.
Also the message in the lyrics means nothing to me, makes not much sense.
Anyway, I Do not like death. I will die for noone. Never.
For my luck, the author post the lyrics in the artists page. That´s nice, I appreciate.
Well produced track but need serious improvement on vocal performance.

Title: Future Past
Genre: Pop
Oh god, sometimes I think if I am being too harsh.
I believe that to be a musician/singer/songwriter you have to study hard. Dedication is the key.
I Do not think I am better or worst than any other artist. I remember when I was a beginer and my songs sounded very bad.
My performances were poor and I noticed that.
I realize it was a gift, because many so called "artists" Do not have a clue about what are they doing.
I Do not want to flame anyone, I am learning how to see the good things first. The good is always there, it is said.
This song is, let me say, horrible.
Vocal performance is horrible. Lyrics are very poor, not much to say here.
Arrangements are boring and overall mix is bad.
It is not working for me in any aspect.
Needs a lot of work.
I am trying but I cannot find anything good in this song, sorry.

Artist: In Isolation
Title: The Wrong Girl
Genre: Rock
Another great track from In Isolation.
This is a great band, I love this song in all aspects.
Great UK sound, great musicians, great voice, great lyrics, great arrangements.
Tons of feeling and good taste in this piece.
I feel like I can start jumping around my living room while I am listening to this.
Excellent song performed by an excellent band with an excellent sound.
It is unique, easy listening and powerfull.
Very big 5 stars!

Artist: Necropolis JC
Title: Inner Sanctum
Genre: Metal
Powerfull riffs and raging guitars. Do we need more?
Nop, not really. If you are a guitar head, like me, you will enjy this one.
It is an instrumental piece. You will wait for the voice to come in at some point but it will not happend at all.
I think it is just perfect as it is. If a voice enters it would be another metal song with gutural vocals. Without the vocals the song become an unique genre: Instrumental Metal. This is great!
I hope that Necropolis continues to be a instrumental project.
The song got several different parts, excellent riffs, extremelly well played.
The kind of song that you want to play on the stage.
Solos are terrific. Great guitar work here.
At 2:40 a stop and clean guitars enters in a nice harmony. Very nice composition skills.
A must have metal song...
...without being bored by a vocalist.
Vocalists can be a pian in the ass some times.
The sound is perfect. Very well mixed/mastered.
5 stars!!

Title: What do you got (If You don't got love)
Genre: Acoustic
A new singer/songwriter is borning here.
It appears that the author is in that stage when he is starting to explore the musical world. Making the first songs, recording the first ideas.
There is not much info at the artists page, so I really Do not know muuch about him.
What I know is : he have a nice voice, plays the acoustic guitar well and writes music from the heart.
I think he must be a young fellow by the photo. For a "kid" he is doing preety wel in my opinion.
I liked the song very much, the words wirten have a meaning, this is so rare:
"Well Yesterday I was just sittin, alone lone lone, thinking about life
And aint it funny we throws ourselves like skippin stones, just hoping we did things right
Cause yesterday I thought, what do we ever really got, even if we have lot what do we got if we dont got love, love love love, what do we got if we aint got love
And Everyone seems to be so tentative, scared to make mistakes,
Well Today I thought, im gonna live live live and love you, even if my heart breaks
Well Im gonna give you all of my heart, my dear friend
Just try not to tear it apart, cause I need it forever, and til the end"
This is a really good start.
Of course, the recording is bad. but you can have an idea of the song. Perhaps the author could study a bit more about recording. It will certainly not hurt.
I hope to hear more from MR. Howe soon.
Very nice.

Title: The Flintlock, the Musket and the Dead Chicken
Genre: Alternative
Yup, it is really alternative.
Kinda weird and funny stuff.
It is pleasant, I like it.
The instruments are well record.
The overall sound is good. Perhaps the voice could be a bit louder.
Special mention to the voice at 2:30. Funny stuff.
This one get that kind of english humour.
Nice.
