Emotional track

Lee told me i should write something emotional - as luck
would have, i had just done so. this was mainly inspired by
a film soundtrack (Monsters Inc. strangely, near the end,
when he says goodbye to Boo) and this track became strangely
emotional for me. Criticism welcomed.

Your Warmth is my Fondest Memory

I quite liked it :P

Parts of it still sounded a little bit sterile and I think
the melody could have done with a little variation. It was
quite good though.

I've decided, from this point on I will only listen to Rush,
and Rush cover bands!

parts of the melody are silent night, the christmas carol.
but i like xmas carols, so that's a big plus for me. this
is a great track as usual - you're definitely improving and
this stuff continually just sounds more and more amazing. i
especially love the change at around 3:33 and i suggest
perhaps adding some subtle drone or synth sounds throughout
the track to make it feel warmer and fuller. it doesn't
need to be any more melodic overall and i think the track is
mixed very well. i would definitely add some synths playing
the main chords or whatever in the background. just some
suggestions. thanks for sharing the music!

i think this would sound better if it was a straight-up
christmas melody, and if you dropped it from the track at
points.

Yeah, I noticed the Christmas thing as well, but it didn't
bother me that much. Not a bad track indeed. Probably
wouldn't hurt to add some sort of low end. You are an
interesting beatsmith. How come all the tracks I have from
you are in mono, though?

for your information, i didn't take that melody from a
christmas song - it just popped into my head one night.
however, now that you mention....

i doesn't sound like a rip-off, does it? because i never
intended it to be that way at all...

well, i wasn't calling it a rip-off or accusing you of
anything of course. there's just a few notes of the melody
that closely resemble silent night, but the whole melody is
different.

accidentally using a pre-existing melody is very common. it
happens to everyone, really. i've done it myself. i don't
think it's a big deal at all.

sorry, i didn't like it. It sounded like a casio demo, and
the melody had about as much emotion as a microwave oven.

the melody was too close to silent night for me. the beat
programing is lush as always but i just didn't care for that
melody.

That silent night coincidence is spooky if you didn't
intentionally put it there.
The Samurai track is pure class, blasting it while watching
the african cup on the tv. Just checking digitonal now.

mum's we have a map of the piano is the same way.
the melody sounds very similar to (shit, i can't remember
the name of it now!), but i don't think they intended it.

nice sounding track, btw. oddio's i mean.

Yeah the "silent night" is kinda distracting.

I also like the Samurai track.

When we gonna hear some new Cowboy Sugarcakes?

nice avatar, fleetmouse. what is the relationship between
that image and the cover of ween's quebec album? is one
based on the other?

Hmmm... i've had some ideas for cowboy sugarcakes, no good
ones though. I'll let you know though when I have something.
