Decky's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Not Dead Yet]

Cool

I liked the soft piano at the start and with the introdution of the other instruments it only gets better. I believe that this would be good at a final scene of an animated life in a flash. Although guessing from the name that was what you were going for. The only thing that I would have improved would be the ending which seemed alittle to abrupt.

4/5

EpicNinja123 responds:

thank you :D
yea FL Studio screwed me up in the butt with that. I'll figure it out with the next soundtrack.

[Halindir - A Piece of Boredom]

.......Perfect

The second I started to listen to this song it chilled me out Firstly, thank you for that. I think you truely have created something great here. It has Moby - Porcelain levels of chill mixed with the theme from Zora's Domain in Ocarina of Time. Anyway, I'm ranting.

Basically I think this song is on of the best that I have heard on Newgrounds, can't wait to hear more from you. Keep it up.

Halindir responds:

Thank you very much Decky, im glad you enjoyed it. Though I hope the abrupt ending isn't too bad.
You must be overexaggerating, it's not that good or perfect, but I appreciate your fine words :)

There is a lot more music, to be found on my profile - though most of it not similar to this track at all.

Have a good day you!

Love it

This song just takes me back to my childhood playing on all of those old Mario ans Sonic games. I think you have captured the essence of Newgrounds in one song. Well done and keep it up :).

Or4nges responds:

ALL of newgrounds?! Sheesh thanks man! Big compliment :)

[Running through Greece]

Not bad

Its somehow humorous, possibly because of the quick tempo and surreal title. Sounds great and I can imagine it being used in a Flash and I'm pretty sure thats what uploading audio to Newgrounds is all about. My only concern is that it starts to drag after the two minute mark. I think it was just a little too long. An all round good job though

SkyStormKuja responds:

Yeah, I think it was too long as well. Couldn't figure out a proper way to end it, so it ended up much longer. Thanks for the review.

[I can upload things now]

Not bad at all.

Firstly loved the name.

I liked this, the only things wrong with it are I think it could have benefited from a breakdown at one point and maybe if it was a little longer it'd be better. Also it can get a little annoying after a while.

Congrats on being able to upload audio :).

WickedRaptor responds:

Lol thanks for the input :D.

[Instrumental Piece 1]

Great

Very relaxing. Has a mixs of Oriental and Indian songs which worked very well. Can't wait for Instrumental Piece 2. Maybe some Celtic stuff in that one or Eastern Europion, just a thought.

5/5

Gravey responds:

Thanks. I don't know when Instrumental Piece 2 will be out. But I have something that fits the bill I'm working on at the moment. But I have many projects for paying clients to work on as well. So it will probably be quite a while before it's finished.

[Gates_Of_Oblivion [Box-Killa]]

Very Good

Not my sort of music but I can safely say that this is one of the best Trance songs I have heard. If I liked Trance I'd download it :). Keep up the good work.

5/5

Box-Killa responds:

Well you like trance now so dl ahead!

[.:Boss Battle:.]

Epic

I can really see this being used in a flash. It reminds me of the the boss battles in really old Sonic and Mario style platform games. The loop fades in and out perfectly, well done you must have put quite a bit of effort into it. I just would have perfered it if it felt slightly more modern. Still somebody use this in a flash.

4/5

camoshark responds:

Thanks alot for the great review!

As a matter of fact, I put roughly 4 hours into this, wich is in fact not alot.
I might rework the piece itself, then again, I might not...

Cheers,

[Castles In The Sky (Mans0n)]

Reminds Me Of Classic Club Songs.

I have never been a fan of Club/Trance music but I do like some of the older ones from the early 90's. This song brought back memories, so firstly thank you for that.

I think that it is the simple beat and the catchy synth that makes this song so appealing to me. If I could make one improvement, and it would only be a tiny improvement, I thought that th song could have a more distinct breakdown. But this song must have take some time and you have clearly but a lot of effort in.
Well Done :).

4/5

Mans0n responds:

glad you liked it! and yeah the breakdown is pretty weak. I will probably go back and edit this further so it will be better overall.
