SO LOW, PRO -
"...thinking about a action film with this song in it is enjoyable and makes you think what a good song. It can also fit for a video game. I love the melody to this track and the simple 80 style drums too. Its a well made track and some film producers should hear this. Its a short and sweet track not lasting too long as well." - ronaldo6, songcritic.com; posted 12/20/07
"A very lively intro to the song and I like the electronic beat, great. The electronic beat reminds me of a 80's action film intro. A very catchy chorus and I was expecting a singer or rapper but really, I think that the track is better without a singer or rapper. Overall a very well produced track and I'm rating it quite highly." - pasty, songcritic.com; posted 12/20/07
RED EYE FLIGHT -
"This is a strong recording. The intro really draws you in as it doesn't drag on for ages. The track as an whole is simple but effective and I think would have the potential to achieve what it is set out to originally and alone. The timing and arrangement works well." - greendaystar, songcritic.com; posted 1/8/08
"I love the simple beat of the soft guitar at the intro, awesome. I really like how you use all the beats and put it into a great techno/soft rock track. This track reminds me of a detective type of film, don't ask me why. I believe you have a alot of potential and you I think you'll do well as your music career progresses. Overall a good song I'm rating it quite highly." - pasty, songcritic.com; posted 1/9/08
"Well alrighty now, the bass drew me in from the start ... nice groove ... I can see myself with headphones on listening to this on a Red Eye Flight .. okay, I'm back to the bass again, because that's the happening thing going on ..." - BjustB, songcritic.com; posted 1/10/08
EVENING CRUISE -
"A very funky and lively intro to the song. I love the keyboard beat, it's great. Even though this is not my genre of music, I quite like this track. A nice and catchy chorus as well. I like how you use all the beats, awesome... Overall a good track and I'm rating it quite highly." - pasty, songcritic.com; posted 1/2/08
"Hmm, this is something I have never heard before or if I have it was too long ago to remember, this is truly unbelievable, this changed my taste for music.
Good job!" - Theman, songcritic.com; posted 1/19/08
"Wow, this is amazing! I'm impressed! I love that there's so much going on -- this is complex music that you want to listen to over and over to hear all that's happening, yet it still has a catchy, hummable melody. I especially love the starting beat. It's original and memorable. Good work. I wouldn't change a thing." - bogeygirl, songcritic.com; posted 12/22/07
"A great composition for an action packed film or TV show. Feels like a chase scene or fight scene. And I also agree that this could be used in a video game. Nice beat and instrumentation along with some great playing on the keyboard! Will have to go and listen to more of your music. 8/10" - Sharon D, songcritic.com; posted 12/28/07

"...This has a great flow to it and really takes the listener along with it. Good beat. Could definitely see someone using this behind an advert or TV title screen. 8.5/10" - Glenn Hadgraft, songcritic.com; posted 1/3/08
"Love the simple intro beat before the keyboard melody comes in beautifully. Its another song I think fits perfectly for a video game, mortal kombat comes to mind with this one. T-Bass is coming up with some great soundtrack songs. It has a great flow to the song and it has to be one of T-Bass' best songs to date. I highly recommend movie and game makers to this artist. 9/10" - ronaldo6, songcritic.com; posted 1/7/08
A NUANCE/STAND UP -
"Right from the beginning anyone can imagine this song on a video game; picturing the credits and game options on the screen right now. The bass in this track is just incredible, same kind of riff that "Flea" from 'The Red Hot Chili Peppers' would do. Keyboard skills are also shown in this song. Also sounds a bit like a 70s or 80s funk track. Its very cool, keep up your good music making. 8/10" - ronaldo6, songcritic.com; posted 1/29/08
"I think this lively and upbeat song is very well constructed. The structure of it is very strong. Your instruments are all individually very interesting. And, they seem to blend very well. The song as a whole is very good. For an instrumental, its actually excellent!" - Janera, songcritic.com; posted 2/21/08
