[Thou 9th Circle (AIM2014)]

Wow! I'll have to say that I'm quite impressed. This is winning huge points for all of the unique elements it brings to the contest. I think I can say this is making a definite spot on the top of my list!
Keep this up! :D

So I'm trying to blast my way through listening to all of these AIM submissions, but sir I felt compelled to stop for a moment to leave you a review letting you know how much your submissions are like a blast of fresh compressed air in a sauna. Funky, fresh, and thoroughly enjoyable!

Seriously... you make me feel noob. >.> Get a job with Disney already. xD

Art Inspired Music Review

A great track that you have there, with lots of feeling in it. It certainly fits the art piece and is pretty good of a track. It does lack variation though, and I feel that you could have added some more parts to it to have more variation. In addition, I think your drums are good, but there are parts where I think you should automate the mixing of the drums so that they have more power behind them. Those drums can make them hit harder and boost your music.
Keep it up!

Audio Inspired Music Review

Firstly, this is a thoroughly entertaining track on its own! The groove is great and it's funky spunk is wonderful! It definitely fits the art well and I think you did an excellent job.
One thing I do want to point out is that it does need a section with contrast to the main theme. That would make it more awesome!
Keep it up!

Hey thanks! Yeah good idea! It seems the main issue was the lack of segments that could prevent repetition. Thanks again for the review!

Art Inspired Music Review

For a soundscape, it's not bad. However it's completely repetitive and doesn't change at all. Kind of sounds like a great soundscape in one part of a game where the sun is setting across the street. Except you've forgotten to move on with the game and you're just standing in the same spot for 10 minutes.... gets a bit boring after a while.
Add some variation and it'll be tons better. :D

Audio Inspired Music Review

This is a good song that fits the art well! :D It's got a good jam to it, and overall fits the art well with its nice mix of instruments. Also doesn't overstay its welcome and is mixed well.
Really enjoyed this!

Art Inspired Music Review

This track is nice, although it's composition is lacking. Notably the song structure can be improved to give it more variation and interest. The theme fits the picture, however I do think that maybe you could have mixed it to bring out a bit more of the bass to fit the dark'ish tone of the picture.
Another issue is that the guitar is solo'ing the majority of the piece, and the other instruments don't do much in terms of interacting with the guitar or having their own character within the piece. I believe working on this can help the piece a lot.
Keep it up!

Audio Inspired Music Review
The musical feel of this song is nice, however overall I can't see it fitting the picture much at all. As you said in your description, it's a dark image.
That aside, there are mixing issues here with your track. The vox and guitar aren't mixed together well. This track could also use a bit more variation, although it's short enough where that isn't too much of an issue.

[Cthulhu]

Audio Inspired Music Review

I really like this track. The image is an interesting pick, as the image of Cthullu in Van Gogh art is quite something. That said I do think this track kind of sounds great as a chill out track for Cthullu. However I do think you should've incorporated some element that represents the core themes of Cthullu, which feels lacking. If anything that could also work to add variation, another thing this track kind of lacked.
Otherwise great track! :D

Audio Inspired Music Review

I think this piece certainly is quite fitting to the art that it accompanies. I like the mixture of genres, and your addition of blues certainly fits the image well. The vox samples are nice and fitting too. A few of the transitions feel kind of rough, like the one at 1:26.
Overall a good piece and well fitting. :)
