"Some cool effects in there. :)"

submission: Nathan Rain - Odyssey

date: September 16, 2008

I'm unfamiliar with House music, so I can't give you too much criticism that will be useful.

I liked the intro, and I thought it had a very unique feel to it. The jungle-like drums were my favorite part of the song, they sounded great, and made me feel as if I was in a war in the jungle. The suspense from the song was cool, though I thought the guitar was a little odd. (maybe a little bit out of place?)

It reminds me of some of the music from a game I played as a kid: Red Alert 2. The heavy kick and combination of some electronic-sounds with a war-like feel is what I really liked about it.

Thanks for your reviews! :D

"Ooh, different. :)"

submission: Nathan Rain - Stars At Dawn

date: September 16, 2008

This is great. It has a really nice feel to it, a bit relaxing, while at the same time keeping it interesting with some nice sounding drums (with great filters on them!) I loved the pads, they really made the song give a feel of awe and peace, while the light bells gave it a happy and relaxing feeling.

It reminds me a lot of some of the songs on ocremix (songs I have on my mp3 player).

I think the transitions at ~2:30 could use some work though. It was kind of out of place sounding.

Other than that, I couldn't find anything else wrong with the song. I'm probably not as music-knowledgeable as you.

I'm sorry to advertise, but it seems that reviews are the only place that you can actually get people to view your songs. I think it's only fair that I review you, you review me, but you don't have to if you don't feel like it (obviously :P)

"Strange, but cool. :)"

submission: Magrepha

date: September 16, 2008

I'm not very familiar at all with New Wave music, so I don't have much to go on.

I -somewhat- liked the organ that started out. It reminded me of a Jazz organ (first thing that pops into my head, I don't know much about Jazz either, so don't take my word for it. :P), but it seemed a bit over the top as far as how warbly it was.

I liked the pluck-y like sound, it gave the song a cool acoustic feel to it, and at the same time, gave it some variation and depth. The beat was ok. Nothing too noticeable about it, except for the fact that it seemed to fit the style of the music.

Last but not least, I think the song could have been longer. It seemed a bit short, and like it needed a bit more depth to it. I think this works great as an intro to a song, but not as well for a full song.

It seems that the only way to get views for your music on Newgrounds is to write reviews, so I'm sorry to advertise, but it's only fair that I review you, you review me.

"Didn't seem like classical"

submission: Chrysostom

date: September 16, 2008

This isn't classical. The only way this resembles anything classical is the fact that it uses strings, and even those have effects on them. :P

Anyway, since I'm reviewing your song in hopes you'll review mine.. >.>, I might as well get to the constructive part. :P

I liked the main tune of the song, but I thought that overall the song was overly repetitive. I very much liked the beginning, because the drums and loud, but great sounding string came in right off the bat.

I also thought the electronic-like drone gave it some variation, but not enough to keep me listening for a really long time, like I can with some songs. I think at ~1:38, the strings should fade back in, instead of staying the same volume, but maybe that is just me. ;)

Nice work, keep working on it! :D

"Nice ;)"

submission: Dj Clayface - Metalic Winter-

date: September 16, 2008

I think it sounds great as it is right now, but it still needs work in a few areas.

It hurts my ears a little bit when the main synth is automating a cutoff frequency, which you might be able to fix with a compressor. The tune is a little repetitive in the beginning, but once it slows down and the drums cut out for a little bit, the rest of the song has a lot of variation, making it get better as it goes along.

It would have been nice to hear some more variation with the synths, and possibly a few more layers to give the song a fuller feel. I liked the key-change close to the end, though I thought you could have gotten a little more out of it.

The ending was also kind of sudden and out of place. It seemed like it could have had a better one; one that left an impression, and a memory of the song better.

Thank you for your review!

"No Wonder!! :P"

submission: _-={Everlasting Times}=-_

date: September 15, 2008

This piece gives me memories of times when I was at peace, and carefree. I was listening to it, feeling really happy, then I decided to add it to favorites, only to see that it was YOU who created it! :P

You're my #1 classical favorite artist! ^^ Thank you for this song. Easily 5/5, 10/10, favorites, and downloaded.

"Short, worse than New Stuff Demo"

submission: David Sonar Practice

date: September 15, 2008

New Stuff Demo was a lot better. You already used the tune in that song, but this one seems to have almost no variation compared to that song.

Good, but I'd rather see something like New Stuff Demo again. :)

"This is a Midi."

submission: This Is Halloween

date: September 15, 2008

I have no idea why my last review was deleted. This is a midi. It took absolutely no effort on the part of the artist.

I'll admit, it is nice to find a song that I like on Newgrounds (this is actually one of my favorite movies), but it's still against the rules to submit something that you did not make yourself.

Even an arrangement can be considered original, but something like this where it has had absolutely nothing changed, is considered stolen, unoriginal, and does not belong in this type of place.

I cannot believe that a moderator or admin of the audio portal would actually delete a review explaining that a song is stolen, over deleting a song that has absolutely zero work put into it.

"Definitely put in the wrong category. ;)"

submission: Tranquile Disorder

date: September 7, 2008

I thought the song was great, but you definitely placed it in the wrong category. This is probably why is doesn't have above a 4 (I would say that it deserves much higher, as it is very well mastered and sounds great).

To me this sounds really Jazz-y. Very soothing and classical, but quite a few of the synths sounded very much like Jazz. (An organ-keyboard-like sound, a Jazzy bass, etc). To me, almost none of it was Drum n Bass, because the bass was not very hardcore at all compared to typical Drum N Bass songs, and the drums had little to no distortion.

The song was also very ambient with the repetitive strings, which really set the mood for the rest of the song. It sounds like a great song to listen to while you're doing something else, but stand-alone it is not something you listen to because it's a really memorable song. It's one of those back-of-your-mind type things that you rarely think about, but is noticed when it's gone.

Anyway, nice work on the song, I hope others will see the song for what it is, and give it a vote that it deserves. :)

Keep making moar!
