You shouldn't post it here

NG isn't the right place for this kind of cover, try, say, Youtube for example.

There are many flaw with the guitar, you're out of tune.
Better check your guitar next time pal.
The voice is ok, but damn, out of tune dude, I can't listen to this.

Very nice.

Ah, I love these lovely 8bit sounds...
I try to do songs with the same tune as well.
I simply love the nostalgia feeling that I get at the end of it while listening.

Nice used of the C64 here pal, nothing much to say :)

I don't dig it.

Is there any copyright issue here?
I mean, you used many samples from some Akira Yamaoka's song, am I right?
When I used to take just even a tiny sample from a song,
everybody on NG is jumping on me like I'm a fucking plagiarist.

Anyway, to the review now:

Yeah the drums are cool, they suits perfectly the song.
That's what drums are made for.

I heard a flaw at 1:08 and 1:22, the drums fade in is too brutal.
At 00:40 and 00:52, the wah wah effect are cool as well, I often use those effect during some of my songs.

At 2:00, I disagree with the synth's sound used, it has nothing to do with the ambiance of the song BUT I can dig that it's a "Hip Hop" wannabe song.
And to my ears, this synth's tune makes me thinks about Yeah from Usher.

So just adding some drums and wah wah effects to a song from another artist makes me uncomfortable.
Sorry pal, I hope you find my review pertinent.

Thanks for the review first of all, i expected that you wouldnt take as many points off as you did take off but whatever. The drum fade in at 1:08 really does not seem brutal to me man, idk what your talking about, and i agree with you on the synths at 2:00. Its not so much that i just added drums and wah wah effects, i wanted to change the whole mood of it to a rap song for people to spit over, and i also wanted to combine my two favorite songs by Akira Yamaoka into one, cause thats another thing that samplers do to make theyre work more original. Also, no copyright issues here, all samples are credited to Akira Yamaoka.

You can do it !

Well, I'm sure that you'll get a good clubing summer song with that, reduce the lenght, get quicker into the melody, I mean make a shorter "radio" version alike, put some vocals and here we go, dancing on night on the beach.

KieranNG responds:

Thanks man, I was going for a summer song.
I'll probably make a remix too.

Your song, his review.

Nothing to add here, InvisibleObserver as already said it all :(
I'm 100% with him.
You're juste testing FL I guess, so it's ok, you've got potential, I'm sure, so don't worry.

Holy fuck, 6min...

It's getting boring till 2min30, way too repetitive for a song of those lenght.
Reduce the lenght and it'll get interesting! It reminds me of Fight Club's OST.

Oh dude, this one is sw-eeet.
I can already imagine some crowd around a concert scene, some big fucking amplifier crying out loud this song at full bass level.
It reminds me of some Joachim Garraud and Daft Punk earlier work.

KieranNG responds:

Yeah, it kinda reminds me of Daftendirekt.
I like this one.

I'm not sure but..

..it sounds like you're trying every effect on the lead melody all along the song, and when you find some interesting effect, you leave it and then seek another one to use.
I know what it's like because I do that too.
Here we have a common dancing club house song.
I'm no big fan of that kind of music, I find it way too repetitive and meaningless, I can't feel any emotion except the will to dance, but maybe that's the point here.
I'm aware of the fact that it's not a song to listen at home alone, for clubing it suits perfectly the mood.

Mc fly!

Nice one!
It sounds like some David Guetta song, except for the drum rythm.
I don't agree with the lead synth sound, it's way too high to my ears.
There is some potential.

I'd love to dance on that at party

Nice catchy rythm!
It's too bad that you cut the lead melody at some point, the melody thingy is interesting tough.
