Didn't know how I was going to like it when it was loading while reading your comments, but it turned out really well. Maybe could use a little bit more of a melody line, though.
What you did though is very nice and not something I have heard a hundred times before. Good job. ^_^
Author's Response:
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
I'm glad that you found this enjoyable as well as original.
Also thanks for that note about the lack of a melody... you are right. At this point there's nothing more than chord progressions- so this is a very good point. Thanks again, and there will be more to come (it's not finished) :D

Sweet piece. I don't think the drums are necessarily random; the riffs may be a little long but I can tell they are looped. Maybe try I.E. instead of 8 bars looped 16 times, do 4 bars looped 32 times. I don't know how many bars your drums are, I'm just giving an example.
Anyways, the synths are great, as always. Keep at this ^_^ Looking forward to your next upload.

There are 12 different patterns for the main square plugin (6 high and 6 low). Each one is 4 bars. I didn't use all 12 though. Tyvm!

This is great! Very nice work. Definitely one of the best 8-bit pieces I have heard.

It's not that it's a bad song, the upper level is good. But the drums are much to passive for a dance song. Try giving it some drums with more of a presence.
Right now it's good, I'd even use it in a game if I wrote them, but it just doesn't sound enough like a dance song if that's what you were going for.

This is some really really cool stuff. You really should develop this into a full song rather than the same thing over and over again. With a little variety it would be awesome. I'm not even sure how you got that sound but I like it.

It's not bad. I think the synth drizzle thing (that's the only way I can describe it XD it comes in at 0:19) drowns out everything else.
Also I think you need some higher quality sounds, it seems a bit like midi right now, no offense.
I think the notes are good though, and if you address the issues above this could sound really good. ^_^

Good stuff here, lovin the tranquility. Could use some variety, that's my only criticism though.
On a side note, it loops perfectly. I was writing this review and it looped, and I didn't even realize it. Haha.

I would love to use this in a game if I wrote them. You've got some skill here, even with such a simple piece. I only wish this had some more variety. What you've got is great. But I don't think it needs to be repeated so many times, it'd be great to hear a part B added to this piece. You've got a more tranquil part with the bubbling sounds after it, and that's good, but I wanted to hear more with the lead instrument (a sitar, was it?)
Awesome work. I especially like your use of sound effects. Overall 9/10, 4/5.

This is pretty cool. Might like to hear it with some rapping, it would probably be better than 60% of all the rap out there in the real world right now just because it's something that I haven't heard 18,000 times before.
GJ with this, can't wait to hear more. ^_^

I'm really likin this one. Love the bass synth, and a great beat too. Personally, I had no problems with any of the transitions aside from a slight one when the piece gets a little faster at 0:47. The reason being it's a little unexpected.
The progression is very cool, however, and I love the synths you used overall (the bass especially, as I mentioned). Awesome stuff, can't wait to see this when it's out of WiP ^_^
Author's Response:
^_^ Thank you much. I need to sit down and try and finish this . . . and work out a smoother tranisition for the tempo change : \
But thank you none the less for taking time to review
