Yup.. It definitely has Gustov Holst's, "Mars Bringer of War" elements to it, which I would like to see varied a bit more with the drums. The horn section and brass had some really great element and themes. I think the mood changes were very nice and they added a real sense of atmosphere and story to the track. I'm not sure why, but the track just seemed to cut off? and because of that, it seemed unfinished? Otherwise, I really enjoyed the track. you've got a great talent in music and keep up the fantastic work my friend. /justin

I have to say I really enjoyed this piece. I think the constent driving melody really pushes you along and the randomness of some of the instruments interplaying with the classical elements really shows your compositional skills. I immediately think nintendo for some reason, which is a good thing. You fit right there with the game musicians. I think the samples need a bit of improvement, but other than that, I think most of the track is right on. Keep up the continued success my friend. /justin

Thankyou. I feel that I editted the sound quality too much and it took away from the feel of the song. I'm glad you like it though!

Ikero,
Very nice orchestration! I really dig what you've done. I think I'd probably like to of seen a little more variation in your own right but still keeping to the original. You've got a great future ahead of you. all the best and success. /justin
Author's Response:
Thankyou very much. I also really like you orchestrations! Especially the adventurous ones. Hopefully I'll get some really good, but original, orchestrations out onto newgrounds. Thankyou again!

"Very Fitting to the name.."
Not the andante appasiona, but rather WinterWind. I think the piano piece is very nice! Fits nicely in the new age genre. I would love to hear some nice soft strings to accompany the piece however. Keep up the fantastic work my friend!

Zeth, I really dig the melody of this piece. I think if you had some better samples this piece woudl be that much better. It sounds a little muddy at times and lingers here and there but, I think that's due to the over reverb'age. Very warlike! Tone down the reverb a wee bit, and perhaps change keys a few more to really bring the story out, and add a few other instruments to drive the melody out a little more. Almost too much horns. keep it up! /j

Zeth! Man, I think the piece is very fitting to the title. Its got this massive epic'ness and the horns go together very well with the militaryistic drive. If suppose if I had to comment is that its a little repetitive, but then again, after finishing the song I found myself humming the tune. keep up the fantastic work! /justin

Hey man, I really dig this piece. I think its got a very creepy progressive build and haunting vibe to it totally leaving the listener in a cliff hanger suspense. Its got a sad and dark story and I definitely encourage you to create more tracks like it. Keep up the great work. Just imagine if you had a life choir and orchestra at your fingertips!
