I know music is a matter of personal taste. But sometimes you got to wonder whats going. I have voted for all songs now, from 1-10 and my vote has my name on it.

@psycho: Yes, I believe you're right Sir.

I myself have been a victim of such atrocity through my activity in Offence.

Offence are downvoted even more than Booze. I love the scene :D hee hee

@Ole - this is called downvoting :) Quite common here at CSDb :)

I do understand the concept of personal preference and taste - but to rate this as a THREE is just ignorance.

Even FIVE is borderline.

Very impressive, love the "almost House of the rising sun chord progressions" (tm).

It's for sure a highscore power ballad. Would fit perfect on games like Commando and such. You get the highscore, but the bitter taste of killing 300 people on the way needs a tune like this... good job!

Awesome, however I get the feeling this would fit better as an in-game tune. Lots of work has been put into this lovely song, for sure :)

Quality tune, but IMHO it has little to do with high-scores :-)

Well-polished and flawlessly executed, but I personally like your uptempo stuff better.

Great ballad, but I'm not sure if this is a highscore ballad: People would forget to enter their initials while listening to it!

A great, typical Dane-style tune. A good "Power-Ballad". But concerning the compo theme I personally somehow miss the highscore-feeling about it.

Wow! This is great stuff! I like the variations and how the Music builds up! For me definitively in the TOP 3 of this compo, with big chances to win :-)

Yup.. I'm also composing music for myself. And listen to it from time to time too ;-). It's like journal.. it brings memories... sometimes. Listening to this one again btw. I wanted to vote.. but then.. I think I shouldn't.

...So Swedish...
Though I like Dane's compositions occasionally, this is like watching Flash Inc in slow motion.

But to be positive, the sounds is as usual excellent, the build up around a general lead and repetitive emotional basses and drums to convey the circular motion, which Dane masters. Canons, which are more of echoes of different instruments really, but tells a general story (yes it's felt as his tunes is sung always) just to come back where it all started. Now that is clever.

It's just good enough against personal likes or dislikes to get the tools from whatever you find in there.

Very nice tune, but intro is too long for a highscore tune in my opinion.
User Comment
Submitted by OMP on 9 November 2012
Cool! Yes, i agree. Bitter sweet. Kinda like finishing fallout 3...

And to me it's very much like a highscore piece indeed. Only longer and more variated.

Kinda cheating not doing a brand new tune though.

Of course, I'm doing the same thing... 😁

I've got more work until its finished though. Inspiring stuff! I'll try to be quick!

Edit: oh, and of course I agree about the liking ones own tunes.
I'm not TRYING to do music. I do it the way I like it...
I'm old enough to say that. 😊

Ole Marius - I finished it in August and have been saving it for an upcoming music disk, but your initiative made me want to showcase it a little bit earlier. :)

I don't know what expectations people have where "highscore ballads" are concerned, but for me personally this is one of the most bittersweet melodies I have ever churned out - a sad start with an upplifting chorus. And for me that's what you feel at the end of a game - exhiliration because of what you've accomplished mixed with a great sadness that the fun has come to an end.

Would it suit a game? I don't know. Is it a great tune? Well obviously this is the way I like them or else I wouldn't have made it. :)

heeey... I didn't know there is a compo around! If I get it right the entry should be powermetal high score ballad ;-)))
User Comment

This should be the 3rd.
It has sad mood not hymnic or heroic, as a high score needs.
Beeing on a hi score means to be happy, becuase you are a hero of that game. :)

Nice work. But not my cup of tea, too emotionally laden. Seeing the theme is "power ballad" i will save my funk for a c64.sk compo :-D

Hey Dane, nice!

I think this is a great piece. Nice variations of that that theme. Lovely arpeggios and I love that melodic lead, man :)

Have to listen to it a few times.

Did you compose that during the summer, and finished it now, or was it totally done?

I will listen to all that come and then vote... it is so cool that you music artists take that challenge and stir this place up abit... we need more of these stuffs... the scene is all loving it!

Best from Dane in a while, but you already knew that I would say that. It puts the water in the melon. <3

This is definitive a high-score power ballad!!! I love this tune also. :) Really amazing Dane! So much emotions in this tune, made with love.

Can we please do every year a High-Score Power Ballade Compo? (Looking to Ole Marius and Kristian Røstøen)

I did not vote yet for none of the tunes in the High-Score Power Ballad Compo, I wait till all did submit the tunes.

House of the Rising Sun meets Edge of Disgrace.

Sums it up pretty good if you ask me. :)

I made it this summer. Glad you like it, it took a while to exorcise that theme and get it out of my system. :)

Wow, that was quickly put together. Something you had lying around? Awesome stuff. Love all the variation in it while still sticking to a red line.
