I'm glad someone actually understands musical progression along with a great sense of ambiance. Nice flow, nice sound, an astounding piece in general.

Thanks Imperfect! Those compliments mean a lot. If there's one thing I take seriously it's got to be music. I appreciate the great comment and score! Thanks a bunch! ^_^

It's really cool, can't say anything about it, it actually happens to match my mood right now. Thanks.

A super energizing song, the energizer bunny can't beat this. I'd so listen to this if I was racing cars or flying a plane or something like that. Awesome stuff, and nice guitar work. Very melodic while retaining an awesome rhythm.

Could have stood to have more fills even though it had some noice variations in there with the clave and then that heavy snare. EQ'ing is great, nothing distracting my ears. The ending with the crash cymbal was a bit weak, maybe a more "suspended cymbal" sound, kinda like a reverse cymbal?

The guitar is a bit strident/high, and it creates this harsh pinching sound in the ears, though I must say that the delay effect is in awesome usage :D
-Drums are meh, I've got some actual drum samples from my drumset (except for toms). You could update it with those, and see how that works out. Your snare is nice though, I'm digging it.
-It feels like an aspect of the song is missing, like another instrument to act as background or something like that. Otherwise, this song is kinda empty.
-Not bad good sir, keep working on it!

Thanks for the review.
I know the drums need improving, these were the best ones I could find -_-
I'm sure those samples would be very useful.

It rose and fell in dynamics much like a sea, and that just made this song. It's very emotional, and the first point of climax threw me off it was so good. The piano is pretty beast too. The minor key enhances a feeling of mysterious adventure, but the strength in tone and the rise and fall in dynamics really give light to the sea, this uncontrollable force that cannot be stopped. I'm getting lost in it actually :P
-I can't believe no one has taken notice of this song, because they are certainly missing out on one of the best classical writings on Newgrounds. I kinda wish my high school band could play this. If only we had a harp :P
-The ending was a bit anti-climatic though, make something really powerful in the brass and the percussion, like a clashing of the waves, and then have them in a final clash to end the work on a strong beat (like the power at 0:58). That's a personal opinion, so take it or leave it, it's your work.
-Sweet stuff here, definitely downloading, something I rarely do.

The high melody thing at the beginning is really annoying and distorted. In fact, my speakers and my ears don't like it. Look into the distortion and try to eliminate some of that, it's not right at all. I think it has a bass overload to be honest, but I'm not sure, look into that please!?!
-Awesome piano, it's ridiculously amazing. Synth at 1:37 is alright too, sweet.
-It feels like the whole track is kinda cluttered in the bass region. There's a LOT of distortion there too.
-For such an amazing track, I think this track could be more. The distortion of the overall track and that one synth ruin the overall quality here. Nice stuff though, overall not bad at all.

I didn't like the tonal quality at all. It felt dry and without a rich fullness to it. It was good in that it kept me interested, but otherwise, it was a real drag for me. It also felt like it was going somewhere, but then it didn't, not very dynamic. Keep practicing, I'm sure you'll get it sometime!

I practiced quite a few new techniques with this song. Like most of my songs, it was an experiment, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
True, it sounds a bit "dry." I was trying to use as little reverb as possible for the song. Also, that may be a direct result of the fact that it is a 96khz sample rate- you must take that into account.
The things I was trying to emphasize in the song were more of the tonal area in the song being filled by the percussion- I had noticed a tendency in my work to drown it out. I think I did a good job counteracting that here.
Anyways. Awesomeness will come with time. It always does. :D

...not the most appealing thing in the world, but besides that, felt original while retaining the original version, sweet!
