Darthfett's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

["Before Mydnite" F-777]

Kind of stolen

It was an alright track, but the tune is stolen from Kylie.

"But I'd rather do you on the backseat of my car"

Make sure you give credit to the original artist.

F-777 responds:

Didn't steal it, in fact i never heard that song before in my life when i first made this song. I first made the bassline then made a tune to it and adjusted it to friend's advice on msn.

This song does sound simular but its not exact and i didn't steal.

Thanks for the review though!

[Submission #1]

This is no beginner's luck

There is no way this is beginner's luck, this is purely talent. It's rare that you see this kind of song come out from someone so early in working with music. Keep at it!

BlazingDragon responds:

Thank you for the flattering comment. :D

[Zelda - Windmill Jazz]

Great work!

I don't really like Jazz, but I love this piece! That rarely happens, and only on great songs. 5/5 and a download! :D

BlazingDragon responds:

This is my favorite (and probably best) song, so I'm glad to see that so many other people have enjoyed it! Thanks a ton. :)

[Rage of the Champions]

Perfect, nothing else needs to be said

As always, your songs create awe inspiring images in my head, and can be the theme for a thousand stories with the chosen theme.

I check your audio section daily, hoping for a a new song! :D

I would like to make a request if I may, because I haven't heard but a few songs like this:
A song that sounds pure evil, creating a constant feeling of paranoia. If you've played Heroes of Might and Magic III, I was getting the idea from the song that plays in the background of the Undead Town. The entire song has a spooky feeling, and I have heard very few songs like it.

MaestroRage responds:

Hmm, I havn't heard this tune to be honest. Though a song of pure evil is something i'll make for halloween soon enough! I hope you'll be there to hear it! And you should probably check weekly, as I tend to have a piece out a week anyways. I wish I had more time to make a piece per day. That would rock :(

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! I apologize sincerely for the late response!

Incredible Talent

I don't know how you do it. It seems like with every song you make, you portray a theme perfectly. So far, my favorite song by you is Field of Memories, but i'm positive this will grow on me. Definitely going into my playlist!

Waterflame responds:

:D ! thank you! this review really made my day :) im really glad you liked it :)

[-Space pirates-]

Nice work. :)

The name reminds me of Monkey Island, if you've ever played it (Old PC series, so probably not).
I can imagine this going to the background of one of the ghost pirate scenes, on the Ghost Ship.

Nice work. :)

Waterflame responds:

actually i did play it, the first game owns, but when they made it in 3d it failed completly, 2d games should not be converted to 3d if you cant do it right 0_o anyways, thanks alot!

[_-={Corrupted Matrimony}=]

Lovely... Dark and Lovely

I can just imagine some older movie with this playing in the background. Probably during the wedding between a Demoness, and some poor slob who sold his soul. What a great theme you've set here! (As you have in all of your songs!! :D)
That background sound that comes in when the song quiets down sounds almost like part of a police siren, off in the distance. It's very unique :)

I'm curious though, i've been listening to a lot of your songs, and I found that you use FL pretty much as a base program. I've always wanted to make orchestra/classical style music, but i've never found the right kind of drums. I really like the way the timpany can add something that a simple kick or snare drum can't really do, but I don't know where to find them. Where did you get yours? :)

Great work on this piece! So far i've been getting a lot of NG music lately... I think I have more from you than any other artist... :P

I would say more about your music, but i'm just starting out. All I can Really say is that I love your music, and keep it up!!! =D

MaestroRage responds:

oh noes! Yet another review I have totally forgotten to review! My sincerest apologies Darthfett. The memory... she bleeds in agony and forgetfullness!

My timpani and snares and pretty much all of my percussion comes from East West Symphonic Orchestra Gold. It's a brilliant program, worth every god damned penny. And trust me, it's a lot of pennies.

I appreicate the kind words, i'm glad you liked the pieces! I'll be sure to keep it. Thank you for the review ^^. I see you have some work, i'll be sure to check it out!

[-Field of memories-]

Insta-Download

That starting thunderclap in the beginning, with the light playful piano really set the mood for this one.

I just love songs that have... other sounds in them. They add to a song in their own way, because they have a realistic quality, and can bring up memories, and really make a song good and unique.

I didn't particularly think the drums that came in about halfway through fit well, but it's a minor thing. :)

Make it longer!! :D

Waterflame responds:

thank you! :) that was kinda what i was aiming for, to make it sound more like a real played orcestra, or atleast somewhere near that :P

and yeah, im still not 100% satisfied with the perc. of this song, as said in the review above. :)

[d@rk !ndust!al sp33d]

Very Unique

This is a cool song! :)

It's got a lot of the elements of trance in it, with the high pitched and futuristic synths, and the beats make it industrial sounding, as well as the (slightly) dark sounding notes.

This isn't the type of industrial, or trance you hear everyday, so it's very unique, compared to a lot of other music i've heard.

Great work on this!

KittenLoveX responds:

Thx 4 the review Darthfett! I wasn't sure if to put it in techno or ind.. :P But the darkness made it sound like industrial.

[Gillenium Mini-Boss Fight]

A bit repetitive

It sounds very much like a boss battle of some sort, but when it just winds over and over through the same sections over and over, it just doesn't make it as a boss battle theme. It needs a tune to come in!

I'm not suggesting you copy it, but maybe if you listen to some of the classic Final Fantasy Battle/Boss themes, you'll see what I mean.

They come in, similar to yours (but a little bit faster, with those tense-building background parts), and then they'll come in with a tune, that just fits in with the repetitive structure for a little bit, and then the whole structure will change every once in a while, and add a whole new tune.

You did a good job, with what you have so far, and i'm going to download it for learning purposes. (I still don't have down fast, battle type music, and i'd like to get better with them). But I really want to see a nice tune come in with a newer version!! :D 8/10 and 4/5.

Gillenium responds:

I made this on a deadline. I'm not going to make any more fight songs, but I appreciate all the comments anyway!
