I must say, the variety of instruments you use is nothing short of impressive and all of them contribute greatly to this being a masterful piece.

The cover art when it's rotating gives a kind of trippy effect by the way! xD

My Prescription: I can understand you went for subtle tones of the main instruments in the piece but they were just a bit soft and hard to hear despite cranking up the volume. Other than that minor thing, this here is fantastic!

Sincerely,
The Doctor

Thanks man, cheers for the review! Glad you liked it.

This honestly reminds me of the fight with the Alatreon from MH3Tri. The whole song conveys that feeling of constant action, having to trust your team-mates to the very end. And trust me, when you DID lose to this thing, you didnt feel too bad about it. The Alatreon was made to be your match, and he fulfils that role, as you have with this song.

(NOTE: Speedbombing DOES kill the son of a b*tch in 2 minutes.)

bassfiddlejones responds:

Can't say I've played it, but I'm glad the song brought you some awesome imagery! Thanks for the review!

Great song. Very suspenseful. I like how pure it is. Nothing cheesy or pretentious. Music to be taken seriously.

bassfiddlejones responds:

That's exactly what I was going for. Thank you for the review!

haha wow! I love it! Awesome to hear such an utterly soundtrack-like piece. This is literally making me uncomfortable in suspense, especially during the silent parts with just the droning bells :o

bassfiddlejones responds:

This is pretty different from my normal stuff - I'm happy that it had the effect it did! There's actually no harmonic structure to this at all, which is what made it very different for me. I had to make it feel tense without chordal structure or melody, save the little bit of background music you get during the percussive part in the second half.

I LOVE! The build-up is spectacular!! =D I really wish it were a little longer, I would've loved to hear more.... :( As Killingyoutwice stated, I could easily hear this being in a movie! :)

bassfiddlejones responds:

I'm so glad you like it! :D I'm really considering taking this and putting a lot of work into it, maybe expanding the whole thing. I like how simple it is now, but I think it could be awesome as a part of a larger piece. Thanks for the review! :)
