[@StormFlareRecords]

This series needs a comeback..

[@FritzyBeat]

So APPARENTLY everyone was wondering as to why I hadn't commented on this song yet despite it being only like, what, 1 hour old? *shot* BUT HERE I AM! You can all go back home now. *bricked* But Wait! There is an awesome song here to listen to instead 83 I mentioned this once before, but I love the sorta half-liquid style you gave this (totally on purpose), instantly reminded me of NaCP's Lunar EP. But still, this really has its own sound to it~ Love the melody, it really powers through the whole song

[@SlyphStorm]

Hello FritzyBeat. We've been expecting you.

[@FritzyBeat]

So I've heard. Now tell me Mr. Slyph, what are the latest numbers?

[@Talguy21]

FritzyBeat Forty-two.

[@mabelpines1533]

Any day SlyphStorm releases a new song is a good day :)

[@IntensePancake]

i like the name you gave this song for your first time trying REALLY electronic xD

[@SlyphStorm]

I'm glad someone noticed that XD

[@kirklundberg2503]

It's even better at half speed

[@charleswalker8262]

This Song Is Really Cool For Your First Time Doing Electronic, Keep Up The Great Work!!!

[@thatautisticbrony7847]

any song that has the audacity to use the word 'flail' in its description and still be awesome is beyond my comprehension, making this song both really well made and yet incomprehensible to me.

[@Неизвестная-ю8э]

It. That's wonderful. Perfectly and wonderfully. I downloaded to myself it on phone. I will listen. Masterpiece. Your fan from Russia ^^

[@commandercarwash9278]

slyphstorm if you throw in some of your usual amazing singing this newer style could work pretty good and this was good even though this is more of an experiment you did awesome with some practice this could be really awesome /)

[@TheGreatGrizzlyBear]

I woke up to find this and its already made my day! So amazing! Keep up the good work!

[@cmbr0375]

(\ You know I read that far :) Anyway great song! It doesn't matter to me what genre it is you are a great producer! Also I was hoping to see you perform at ROTLcon, but I might not be able to. I'm probably going to be there I just can't make it on Friday.

[@kirklundberg2503]

[@taranciucgabrielradu]

Now this is SOMETHING, and this SOMETHING thing is really SOMETHING, like in SOMETHING AWESOME which I don't really actually know what is but it's SOMETHING and it's AWESOME and that's what matters

[@kightblade3641]

Not bad, Slyph. It's always nice to hear some great music you've made. Keep up the great work!

[@laomarcoantoniop.5849]

"Shot in the Dark" ya said? Mah kind of SONGS! Wait... where did my replay button goes!?

[@TheEsttel]

awesome dude, this style really seems to fit you! /] I found myself headbobbing to this in no time whatsoever!

[@NoSleepNeeded]

I'm be honest here, fantastic job my friend! Completely unexpected, but I love it!

[@lazerbrony7244]

This is fantastic! You said this is your first time trying to do something 100% electronic? You sound like a pro already! I really hope you make more music like this, it's fantastic! Love it /)

[@bashinginminds1126]

This piece starts off with a rich, deep sound - hits on a lot of levels, complex enough that it isn't too repetitive or boring - and gets in your face quickly, before going back down to a sort of slow build. I like that a lot better than the electronic pieces that just sort of slow-boil all through the first two minutes. By the time the first minute has passed, the audience knows there's more going on here than just a bassline and a hook on repeat. When the song kicks up to full-throttle around 1:40, the audience is completely ready for it. And that's no mean feat, because it definitely hits on a lot of levels, with a lot of sounds at once. It sounds similar to a classically-trained musician's take on electronic (Which I'm guessing is what's going on), and that's not a bad thing. You asked for advice, so all I think I'd say is that the progression of the higher-pitched electronic sound (Which serves as a sort of high-point melody past the 2-3 minute mark) has a lot more room for evolution. You start to add more to it around 4 minutes, but it fades out almost immediately. That almost guitar-like growling sound you added to it was intriguing. I often find the best electronic high-note melodies are the ones that sound like vocals, so maybe try arranging it like that. Overall, thumbs up. This is a solid piece, I enjoyed it.

[@ComputerZombie150]

Yet another good piece by you Slyph. I love your work.

[@TheLydeOctave]

Great to see you took my comment seriously, good work!

[@OfficialPonytronic]

This is really good c:,Kicks are on point,Bass is great for a modern EDM (leaning more towards Electro) style and overall you got the concept down. You should definitely do more in the future ^^.

[@Zootopia96]

This was brilliant, really enjoyed it :) Would love if you made more music like this :D

[@tylersackett6302]

One word for this....song. Awesome!

[@GingerTyPerior]

This is awesome! So glad I subbed!

[@Sprout390]

I can't belive this is your first electronic song it's EPIC brohoof /)

[@KyleGawoo]

what is (\ /)

[@Sprout390]

It's a brohoof

[@jacobham5298]

I really like this track. If you do any more of this style in the future you should add vocals since your voice is amazing! /) (I read that far)

[@kirklundberg2503]

(\

[@ThornquillAudiofics]

I really enjoyed this. I don't mind the occasional absence of vocals, sometimes it's just nice to experience music without having anything to interpret. I agree with others that a bit more complexity or variation might work out well, so I'd definitely be interested in hearing more of this style from you. (\

[@NovaFlare_griffgon]

It's funny, I listen to you while playing Skyrim on the PC. and, for the most part, it fits.

[@Mijkami]

Maybe it's because i just found an old CD with 10+ years old electro/techno/jungle/old house tracks and just listened to it for hours yesterday, but i find this one really nice !

[@italianirishscotish]

Loving this, and I wish I could go up to see you perform! Sadly, the money be tight, and the sergeants strict on leave time.

[@Larscite]

This just makes me want to accomplish something. Or makes it feel like I did no matter what.

[@uhmhazymusic]

I love it. Nothing else needs to be said.

[@dimensionalMystery]

"So this is REALLY different from what I typically do!" Guess you could say this was a 'shot in the dark' for you!

[@MinersLoveGames]

So awesome.

[@toomuchinvigilation2419]

This is awesome, I love it!

[@calamity6266]

Read the description!

[@endergirl110]

Love all your songs

[@DyingTombstone]

I love how literal this song title is: first time with a new genre? I'll call it a shot in the dark! Seriously though this is a pretty good song.

[@shadowdancer344]

i think this sounds great

[@SteelChords]

I'm a little late to the comments here aren't I? Gersh dern it! Anyway, I have to say man, I personally am not a huge fan of trance or house music. I find that I really have to concentrate on not zoning out when I listen to it, and yes, I think this was rather repetitive, but as opposed to most other elecronic/trance/house songs, I actually found myself able to stay engaged through the entirety of the song, and what I heard was really incredible! Don't get me wrong, I personally prefer some of your other songs that have lyrics (*cough* Pegasus Device *cough* *cough* Soldiers of the Night *cough*) *clears throat* pardon me... ...but yeah, overall I really liked this, and the fact that you said that you've not tried this genre of music previously makes this that much more impressive! Really well done man, and I look forward to the next one :)

[@MANNY100123]

I like it, Man! :D I hope you do more! :D

[@cmdrantezscar3368]

a really different form the normal types of music most musicans make. nice job there :D

[@fictionfan0]

Very nice. Had a good beat and the melody was pretty good too.

[@TheDivineRhythm]

Very nice tranceish style, I love the mysterious melodies o3o

[@firedash394]

I really like this it's awesome keep up the good work :)

[@LunaPaviseSolcryst]

Slyphstorm I think you make really good music despite the fact it's the first time with electronic. In all honesty, I think you're a musical genius

[@mattronusthecombatibot687]

Yo I live near Denver so if a explanation of running of the leaves is given I might go there.

[@GabbyMKD]

that sound's pretty cool 8D

[@vulpixeevee7192]

"Shot in the Dark, and your to blame!"..... oh..... Great song btw! /)

[@rachelwoods6760]

But Slyph gave music a good name! Ain't that right, peoples?

[@TheNutChuckler]

Love it

[@KyleGawoo]

oh electroflail not electrofail

[@hydrafighter]

This was great.

[@noahcrandall]

That's really cool!

[@KaineVentus]

love it!

[@licketySplitAUS77]

Very nice.

[@Zoniy0]

Nice work sylph, you have my respect. /)

[@ImaCartoon4ever]

How can you tell when a song is really good? If someone presses the "Like" button before the video even starts.

[@GUILLE832]

Morning Mist became one of my favorite songs due to its lyrics and melody. Here, the melody is quite good as well. It´s catchy and it does feels like dubstep. It´s not one of my favorite genre, but this is a piece I most certainly like, even though if you weren´t the one who did it I probably wouldn´t have given a chance. It´s not a master piece; as yourself clarified, it´s an experiment, but an experiment with a positive reaction. In any case, nice job. I prefer your other works, but improving and experimenting is a vital part of music. So, if you decide to maintain this direction I´ll keep listening, and if you don´t I´ll do so as well. So don´t worry about me.

[@MadPathfinder]

I'm not really fun of electronic, plus I enjoy your lyrics, so I kinda have higher hopes when I clicked it. It is not bad in any way I can point out, but this one I will probably not listen again. I'll be waiting for your next one. Cheers

[@SlyphStorm]

No worries man, I definitely haven't stopped writing my normal stuff, this is just me experimenting around. I appreciate the feedback though! =)

[@kathrynkelly2049]

I am a dubstep lover, and I can say this: Nice job! /)

[@BecciTK]

Really amazing :)

[@darkshadow1066]

Love this remix

[@NikitaPobritta]

remix of what

[@NishiYuuma]

This song is awesome :D

[@MaedayMisfit]

I really liked it. If there was singing id like it even more. Good job once again! /)

[@jordanjamieson3825]

Nice Work,You're Good!

[@zechert]

i like it

[@Livewire2000]

Running of the leaves? This is the first I'm hearing of that and I live near Denver. xD Anyway.. the song sounds pretty awesome to me.

[@StormsGamingClan]

Just awesome brohoof man /)

[@Talguy21]

Nice song. Add in a synth solo and some vocals and I'd probably have it on my listening playlist. Considering that list consists of the Rainbow Rocks soundtrack and Soldiers of the Night, that's pretty hard to get onto.

[@CrossDagger3]

Oh god, I love it ! :D I think you should really try making more music like that. If that wasn't ultra repetitive because of experimentation I would have downloaded it :< But yeah, it's awesome anyway =) EDIT : Fuck it, I downloaded it. It's too good >3

[@ShadowBoltTF2]

Didn't even have to listen to like it

[@frostbite42]

I really like it! However, I'm a bigger fan of your symphonic rock songs (Soldiers of the Night, Castle of Shadows, and Octavia's Overture) and I would love if you'd make more of those, since that makes you unique in this never ending sea of EDM.

[@jjbros64]

I'd buy it! /)

[@nightlyjazz6841]

Nice!

[@microwavewaffles]

LOVE IT MY GOOD SIR! /)

[@tenebrisdumplin4583]

Amazing! I wish I was good or patent enough to do something like this. :(

[@deathsythe238]

sweet

[@SanuvPacifist]

Can you upload this to SoundCloud please? I'd really appreciate it, when you get the chance of course.

[@dj_darkflame2081]

I'd buy it.

[@dj_darkflame2081]

If i had the money. I still have all your other songs on a play list to listen to daily

[@generalgames4441]

I like it, definatly some improvement here and there but all in all it's pretty nice. A bit repetitive but nice, for a first I'd say it's an awesome start.

[@derphoof3865]

Not bad slyphy not bad not really a lullaby that'll help me sleep but not bad

[@rayyanshaikh1319]

i want them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Cr4z3d]

Gr8 track m8, I r8 8/8

[@mauriciogutierrez2241]

It sounds like a metroid soundtrack for the. Gamecube.

[@muze6941]

Hmm, its different but i like it! :)

[@Care_not_giver]

Dems be a gem

[@princesslunalamoon4616]

lol there's bones episode named shot in the dark

[@dantesaur117]

Hey Slyph, I like the new track. If its not too much to ask, may I have an update on how your "Batty" by Odyssey Eurobeat is going. I fell in love with the song when it first came out, and when I heard you planned on doing something with it I basically jumped in joy. You have yet to dissapoint with your music. Keep up the good work m8. :)

[@dantesaur117]

Whoops forgot to include remix in that. My bad.

[@SlyphStorm]

dantesaur117 Definitely on my list of stuff to do and definitely haven't forgotten about it. It'll happen ;)

[@Kain59242]

nice! /)

[@senpaimeme8500]

Just got home, check all my brony artists. Not disappointed

[@thaecrasis]

This is great! Fantastic job for your first legit attempt at electronic music :D I'm surprised only 4 (including me) have bought this song though; it's so good for just $1 On an unrelated note: Still working on your remake of Stop the Bats?

[@SlyphStorm]

I assume you mean the cover of "Batty" by Odyssey? I wasn't ever planning on doing anything with "Stop the Bats".

[@thaecrasis]

SlyphStorm Yes, sorry that's what I meant

[@mikellfoster9052]

this is so awesome better than my videos. fyi slyphstorm you're awesome!

[@Jetpower485]

"Shot in the Dark", eh? Sound to me more like a dead ringer!

[@insaneclownponies9599]

Nice work, dude. 10/10. Also, I'm guessing this contains a large amount of what seems to be Massive. Or Nexus?

[@SlyphStorm]

Massive. Yep.

[@insaneclownponies9599]

WOO! Massive is best multipurpose VST! Except for pads, that is Nexus's job......

[@BoomBox2323]

First commenter also awesome song!

[@ReanimatedYatzi]

Was I the only one who thought of the Ozzy song when first seeing the title?

[@Louis-fh4sh]

SUBSCRIIIIIBE SUBSCRIIIIBE ! Too good '-' Way too good... can't handle it...

[@Louis-fh4sh]

The day of my birthday... Thank you SlyphStorm... thank you :')

[@collincalcotemusic]

I like this style a bit more since it has less of that horrid compression you tend to have in your music. But I'm just an acoustic artist, so what do I know about this kind of stuff?

[@BemmoBoys2708]

I have a new cycling song.
