Positive Comments: I like to listen to this kind of music when I’m chopping onions or slicing up some celery. I also like this kind of music when I’m cleaning the grape juice I spilled on my cousin’s wedding dress. Yes, I’m still trying to clean that happenstance, even though it happened years ago. I also like to listen to this kind of music when I’m watching cool graphics on my Sony RayModeler 3D Holo Display! This would make good music for a lead-in to a movie scene similar to that famous “Carrie” scene. Oh great, more dresses and stains…
Constructive Comments: There is a “cheesy factor” to this arrangement noticeable in the beginning and the synth keypad too. I think the drums on this could use a more robust mixing to add more drama. My body is against the woofer and the scene you may be attempting to portray musically – isn’t coming through with a in the cabinet to create a more bold and convincing “This is big – this is real – this is building – get ready!” I like the special effects around the 2:30 mark and after. That horn coming in could use a cut in the upper range to tone the sharpness down maybe. Because this is a long piece, a break should have come in to rest the ear, then remind the listener again in the music – ok, here we go! The ending takes the listener back to cheesy. Sorry to sound negative, just remember I am just old old old old man with big hairs in me’s ears ok and I fell asleep to Spinal Tap … so, go figure.
