Song with Bells that Echo
well - this is definitely not what I was expecting - New Age? Classical? not
in the slightest - this is definitely more of a simple instrumental a/c tune
like someone got effects-happy with their Korg and decided to record it...
A very static piece - centered around - you guessed it - a reverb heavy bell
sound... not particularly original - but reasonably well produced...
4.75 / 10
Another Song
Yes, unfortunately, this sounds like just another song... melodies are significantly
better here... again - there's nothing classical, neo-classical, or new age about
this song - very instrumental a/c material... the performance is a bit shaky here
like the pianist had trouble staying together with the sampled drumbeat
I can sympathize - metronomes are difficult to work with sometimes... still, if
an artist wishes to play live boards, it's generally a good idea to learn
to handle the timing before recording...

A Song in the Key of C
OK, now I'm convinced that this is an amatuer job - the timing is way off, the
instruments are not keeping up with the beat, and that e-bow guitar is obnoxiously
loud in the forefront of the mix. Not a bad idea, but a complete breakdown in
the execution.

Overall
It seems to this reviewer that Semuta could have a long and profitable career in
adult contemporary, provided that he/she tightens up the performance problems...
Meanwhile, the material presented suffers from being juvenile and unpolished, and
it's glaringly obvious.
But hey - don't let me be your only opinion - check it out here
