From bad review to a Forward

Post by markjsmith » Fri Aug 14, 2009 1:06 pm

My tune Furthest Fire got forwarded for this one, which was a surprise since the day before I got feedback from another listing that I had submitted it on and got the worst review that I had ever gotten from TAXI avg. (4.5). Avg. on this review was 8.8-same tune! It's all good though, I was pushing the envelope as far as genre went on the low review listing-It's just a bit amusing!Furthest Firehttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=2484 ... 1ELCURRENT SOUNDING, CONTEMPORARY ELECTRONICA INSTRUMENTALS of all styles, from House to Trip-Hop, to Ambient, etc., are wanted by a very successful Production Music Library who has placements with ABC, CBS, NBC, WB, Disney, Discovery, Lifetime, Fox, USA, etc. (to name just a few). They want tracks that build and grow, with melodic and dynamic variation, for a variety of Film/TV placement opportunities. You may consider editing down a full-length song in order to avoid long sections of repetition, since this company NEEDS to have tracks that are changing & building constantly. You can submit tracks that range between 1-4 minutes in length and be sure there are NO VOCALS - they'll be focused on the sound of the guitars/drums for this one (be sure they sound authentic and current!). They want material that sounds like it could be on the radio but without vocals and will only be interested in Instrumental versions for this listing. They also indicated that MIDI orchestras are great if (and only if) the MIDI is exceptionally convincing. Broadcast quality is needed (excellent sounding home recordings are okay). Please submit one to three Instrumentals online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Tuesday, July 21, 2009. TAXI #S090721EL

That is sweet, Mark. Feel like I've heard it before...did you post it looking for feedback some time back? Wow, over a minute just passed, and I feel like I'm melting into this - great mood. Terrific patience on this. Really like it. Well done, Mark.It's interesting how the same song can be considered so far off base for different listings. I'm getting that response on one particular song I've pitched a couple of times...anyways, it's found a home now, so...
