OK; so here is the album I've been working on during the past 2 years. In retrospect I do wish I had included some other tracks, and removed a couple others, but all in all I'm happy with it.
I just received my mastered copy today, and they did a hell of a job mastering :)
Either way, this is my album, and I hope someone dl's/likes it..

I've just listened to "Red Winter Rhapsody" parts one and two and three, and "When they Came" and "Eclipse". And I must say: they were brilliant, especially the first Red Winter Rhapsody. I'm going to spread this round, I know a couple of Final Fantasy fans (obsessives, really) who'd love those this stuff. It reminds me of good game music in places, which is no bad thing - some game music is very beautiful.
I'll listen to the rest and get back to you.

thanks pigster, big and cs2x!
cs2x, i dont mind at all anyone calling it game music, in fact im very pleased because thanks to another xlt poster ive been shown a lot of nice rpg music and so forth, and its great to be compared to that stuff definitely.
sure i do have a dream of sounding like a true movie score, but in the end maybe i need a real orchestra :P
as for my own critique i would say this album, while i worked a lot on it, in some places it lacks the emotional punch i would like it to have.
that was a bit of a learning process actually but now i know more about what i want, so in that sense the album was a good experience.
either way thanks for the comments and listens!

Is this all original score? The classical/orchestrated stuff on here is all really good. Wormhole sounds a bit Elfman-ish. The RW Rhapsody tracks sound like they could be the soundtrack to a good movie (or game).
Then there's stuff like Alien Console, which is good and reminds me of something maybe Coil or someone would do. Black Sun 2 has the whimsical analog style. Aeons has a nice space-pad thing going.
My only critique is that all these styles seem like they want to sit in their own corner and play by themselves (not without exception, but as an overall). It would be nice if you could find a way for these ideas to shake hands a little bit and get a cohesive theme going.
Venetian Snares did some stuff like this, but before that there was an album called Pax Brittanica by Test Department where they blend chamber and orchestral music with experimental and industrial sounds. Have you heard it? I certainly recommend it.
Also do you ever listen to any experimental classical music like kronos quartet, glenn branca, john cage?

It really makes me think of something warm and nostalgic (red winter stuff). Some game I used to play and love.....Others have said that too. Is that what you were going for cx?

thanks dude :D yeah its all original, and yeah i have a tendency to create stuff on a whim, which ties in with my reply to ampi max, i basically create different stuff depending on my mood and inspirations at the time.
i didnt really aim for anything in particular outside of my "vision."
i dont listen to kronos or glenn branca, but john cage sure.. im going to get some of that today though.
i've also not heard test department, but ill get that too.
thanks again for the comments though i appreciate it!

i also want to say that the original name for wormhole was loony tunes, because we had already gotten the cover done before i changed tracks.
wormhole was actually an electronic abstract thing i did first.

sorry to spam up your thread cx (sorry) but i've had this unfinnished track on my hands for ages. I've wanted someone to redo it with the kind of classical sound you've managed here, for a long time now.
sadness If you can't be bothered then jus tell me it's nice and I'll be more than happy. But please listen to it cos EVERYONE i show it to jus nods and moves on. I need to know if I should bother making tunes like this anymore really.
Much love ampimax :). (still loving winter rhapsody. are you still using the same software as your other tracks)

I'm curious, what tempo is "aeons" in? I'm doing some fiddling around with a late-nite-drive/teach kind of twist on it.

I remixed it a few days ago, But i cut up the samples instead of timing it all just right. It might of been around 80bpm. Probably lower. Nice fucking track innit

i remember you spammed this before is it me or did the mastering make it sound more real? it now sounds like a real orchestra, although one that could use some Jalapeños up their ass, for my taste that is

maybe you have to make a choice to either make classical that sounds like the romantic period, with all firery emotions
or classcial that sounds modern and minimal with emotions
that's the feeling i got listening quickly through you release

the problem is, when you start going a bit nuts with the instruments, they tend to sound plastic real quick.
i many times have to create melodies that dont sound plastic.
im still very early in the period of figuring out how i can go nuttier with the composition while still making it sound a bit organic.
cs2x im listening to on the transmigration of souls now and i must say its awesome.

Nah I was talking about your original. Every time I listen to my remix it feels far too flat. I really like the bass but the drums are too high in the mix. Everything sounds like paper to me. The original is better. Will you make anything else with those bladerunner style pads again or have you moved to the more classical sound for a while?
