[Paparazzi - Dirty Mix]

Nice Remix

It's a great Lady GaGa remix with a pretty great beat and structure. Honestly it would be one of my favorite GaGa remixes if only you could EQ more (the bass overpowered everything else when I listened to it).

But besides the EQ issue, I would definitely listen to this several times in a row before checking out what else you have!

Keep up the great work!!!

Thanks. =)

[neva goona let you go]

Just Awesome

The beat is a great selection, but what really got my attention was the Auto-tuned lyrics. By now, there are those who feel that Auto-Tune is just overused (and it is), but this song is one of those exceptions where Auto-Tune is necessary. It's necessary in my opinion because it contributes to the mood, the rhythm, you name it.

The flow is basic, yet easy on the ears. The Auto-Tune effect is used a lot, but it's used properly (though personally I'm not sure how you do this) and sounds good. And overall, everything just came together and worked.

Good job man and keep up the good work. Those lyrics are really deep.

wow nice review! everything you said man thanks for it all

[Spanish_Guitar [Box-Killa]]

Pretty Impressive

Your improvised session with the Spanish guitar is really great to listen to and is a nice change of pace around Newgrounds. Usually when I hear a Spanish guitar, it's at a faster tempo and more light-hearted. Your session is slower (which is a compliment) and more heart-felt, giving the listener a sense of your emotions with each string. It may be the fact that you can't go extremely fast, you if you're just intentionally going slower than normal, but it doesn't mean this doesn't deserve anything lower than a 10.

Good job and keep up the great work!

Box-Killa responds:

HeHe, I probably can go faster, but its like, bleh I can't be bothered. Its not speed metal anyway :D Thanks for the review

Amazing

I've enjoyed your arrangement, which is simple yet powerful. The strings are magnificant (and it's not because I have a fetish for strings). They're able to convey this sense of "higher order" and uncertainty all on their own (at least I got this sense. I'm sure others will develop their own). The strings are never repetitive or rigid throughout the piece. And what I find to be entirely amazing, is that it's all done with only strings (well, it's a midi, but still).

It's a great arrangement, and I hope your other works will be as satisfying and enjoyable as this.

PenguinSam responds:

Thank you!

I am guessing you found this through Gravey's version of it!

I'm really glad that you found this to be so enjoyable!

Marvelous

Animalistic. Primitive. This piece of music instills those themes into the ears of the listener, but in an impressive way.

The song reminds me of the simplistic life of nomads and early civilizations such as Mesopotamia. Specifically, the song reminds me of Aztecs, Mayans, and Incans. How? Why?

Each note from every instrument contributes to this surreal, brilliant melody. The percussions, as Gravey said, were dominant yet humble to the accompaning instruments. The percussions created the ancient, noble vibe of a warrior. The wind instruments added to the sense of grandness, and provided a sense of empathy to the warrior.

This piece was written by a clever mind who paid attention to every detail. This piece was written by a person with great talent. And this piece was uploaded here, where I'm truly glad I came across this (even though the volume isn't as loud).

Aeris responds:

Thanks a bunch, I try my bestest :]

I don't mind the score too much, it was already expected newgrounds would do this, thus why I stopped uploading music here.

That's a perfect envisionment, much of what I'm going for, I'm glad you were able to see this without listening to Blood Moon ^^

Again thanks for the review :>

[{B.A.B.} The Fall of Eden]

Flawless

This piece is quite powerful, and its structure is clever and more innovative than any other classical song I've heard.

Your instruments combine to create this beautiful, mysterious song with clarity. The percussion is executed well, and the strings were a little weak, but were stellar nonetheless. What hit me hard, in a good way, were the keyed and woodwind instruments. They have the spotlight in this piece in my opinion.

What mesmerizes me is that this is a loop---a seamless loop. And not only is it that, it's a loop with great structure and integrity.

5/5 and 10/10!!!

Keep up the great work!!!!

blackattackbitch responds:

The anomalies with the string are most likely due to the fact that during the recomposition of this song from its earlier version, I attempted to change akk the synths in the original to their most similar acoustic counterparts. Some synths were hard to emulate though, and the result was, well, you can kind of tell hahahaha

Thanks for the amazing compliments though, I didn't expect this song to recieve the reception that it did, especially since the ending turned out much weaker than I intended. If you wanna see why, check out the original version. The power in the last section was amazing in that version.

I'm surprised that your favorite portions of the song involved the woodwind and the keyed instruments, especially since I only used a flute, a piano, and an organ from those two families.

Thanks again, this review, as well as the others, made me feel good. Honestly.

[[CG]-Eternal Sorrow]

It's Calm and Lovely

I pressed play expecting just another "sob" instrumental/song on Newgrounds, and started thinking it WAS just another sob song until 0:35.

At 0:35, that's when I felt the song's potential to become an amazing, emotional work of art. However, the song felt too repetitive until 2:15 when it sped up. Then it ended on a sour note...

Don't get me wrong though, this song is far from crap, and everyone should still listen to this. The piano felt refreshing, though it did become repetitve. The reverb was excellent. The song expresses sorrow, depression, and sadness with ease. And the song did have its number of moments.

It's a good song, but next time around, make sure that the melody is a little more diverse to keep listeners entertained. And it would be more interesting to start off with another instrument than a piano, unless the piano makes a distinct beat or sound.

KroweMusic responds:

thanks man. really appriciate it. this is my first piano piece so I'm glad you like it!

[Finger of Suspicion]

Refreshing

I have to say, this is a much needed break from Newgrounds' sea of techno and remixes.

This song immediately shows your talent: utilizing overlooked, underestimated instruments to create an original, addicting, attention-grabbing song. The beats are surprisingly hard-hitting and relaxed at the same time. Each instrument combines together to produce an ear-pleasing medley. Transitions to an instrument's "solo" are smooth, and the actual solos show how powerful the respective instrument can be.

I can't even think of any flaws in this song. This song is perfect the way it is, unlike most works on NG. Great work!

P.S: The whole "weird glitch electronic banjo-hiphop" song can easily be used for any modern/near-futuristic trailers or for any independent media form.

InvisibleObserver responds:

I'm more then pleased you left a review, and in an ever so cliche way, it means a lot to me that you basically noticed this for what I made it to be.

You may need to explain in further detail what you mean by in your PS. :P

[Decadence]

That Bad-Ass Vibe...

I love the whole vibe and beat I get from hearing this song. Personally, I think the distorted synth running through a combo sim brought something really unique and interesting to the song.

The lyrics was pretty good for someone who doesn't write lyrics often. The vocals were mixed too low like you said, but I didn't mind that much, since the beat got me too entertained to actually care. Personally, though, the "flow" of the lyrics needs to be varied if you're gonna have that many words that end with the same syllable.

I'm hooked to this song, and I'm sure I'll listen to this song 10 times everyday for a good week thanks to you. I hope that I'll see more songs like this from you, and I wouldn't be surprised if you get more popular for your music, whether it's underground or mainstream.

midimachine responds:

Wow, glad you liked it so much!

I'd like to make more stuff like this but it's hard to recreate the energy that made this. It started with one noise and turned into a monster :P

[We'll Touch The Sky]

Simply Elegant

MaximuMMaximuS is correct about you. You AREN"T like most aspiring artists on Newgrounds.

The beats and samples you've used combine and fuse together to produce a very unique and relaxing sound. None of the layers are overpowering, and the VST plug-ins help polish and boost the sound quality.

Overall, this was a really enjoyable song. I wish you good luck producing more songs with this kind of quality and potential.

C-Enterprise responds:

Thanks for the good review, hope to read something else from you on the next song ;)
