["Desert Journey"]

Not bad

Not that I walk around listening to desert music all day long, but if I did I'd probably have this playing. You captured the feel really well and I could totally see this playing in one of those mummy movies.

Not really much else I can say about this. Keep up the good work.

BrokenDeck responds:

Hey, The Mummy, and the composer for it, Jerry Goldsmith, was one of the inspirations behind this piece.

[Anal Violator]

Not bad

Parts of the song sounded really boring and unoriginal sounding, but you also had some amazing parts. The wob wob was really good. The part like at 2:55 where you had both beats going was just awesome. I really would have liked to hear more of those two beats together and less of the other shit because that part is just awesome.

Sounds like you got the wob down though so keep up the good work. Oh and the voice totally didn't bother me at all...sounded kinda cool actually.

superuberinsaneausm responds:

thanks,but what parts sounded boring?

[Hell's Corridors]

Hell?

Idk about hells corridors. This reminds me of a game where you'd be creeping around maybe in a haunted place or a zombie infected deserted town, but hell? Okay, maybe, lol. Some parts seem to fit the description but the super quiet parts I don't really see as being hell. Anyway, to the track...

I think you did a really great job of capturing the quiet and creepy feeling with this, it sounds like a place where you would have evil ghosts for sure. Not something I'd voluntarily listen to again, but I wouldn't mind at all if somebody threw this in a creepy game - it would be perfect.

mikkim responds:

Yeah, I wasn't really aiming at the traditional image of hell... I was aiming for a creepier version of it.

[.:Blue Rondo a la Turk:.]

Umm

Well I respect the fact that you put countless hours of work into this, but to me it doesn't sound like something I'd ever want to listen to again. I mean, it sounds really repetitive almost like a video game song at times, but you classified this as jazz.

Sorry, but it just doesn't sound very catchy to me at all, and it doesn't really all seem to blend together very well. If this sounds harsh, don't take it that way, it's just my opinion.

camoshark responds:

Thanks for commenting.

I didn't compose this, this is one of Dave Brubeck's greatest hits, also one of the greatest jazz standards of all times and I've transcribed it note-by-note, as-is(except for the solos and the instruments.)

The repetition is meant to make a build-up in intensity, even thought it may be hard to hear because of the MIDI and whatnot, but I still think you were a little harsh on this.

I classified this jazz, but it's actually a tangent of jazz called third-stream, a mix between classical music and jazz. It's a far complex kind of music, and I can't blame you for not understanding it, but I can't help think you shouldn't stop your judgment on catchiness. I also think people shouldn't criticise what they don't comprehend (that doesn't just apply to you).

At least you had the decence of not zero-bombing, to which I salute you for, as you rarely see that on Newgrounds!

To resume: Thanks for commenting, I'de have thought you would have been a bit more conciderate to the genre you're reviewing as an aspiring RRCer, but I don't really mind, you posted what you thought would be helpful, and not simply by hate.

Cheers

[WTF House WIP]

Weird

This is super weird, but in a good way. I'm not even sure I can think of any criticism to give you. I mean, it's certainly not boring, and doesn't seem to be lacking anything really. It's really different and cool sounding.

Around 2:00 you added some new sounds that sounded really good, and the build up and break was awesome. I totally agree with you on the computer voice though, lol. That would sound really cool. Maybe you can just make it say "break" or something simple like that. All in all definitely a cool and interesting song. Downloading this.

mjattie responds:

hahaha thanks xD you know, that's actually a very good Idea.. "Break" I actually might use that one haha.

thank you for the review!

[dance of the bastrard]

Uhm

Idk what to say about this. Nothing really seems to blend at all. The main beat just sounds terrible...not to mention what exactly does the name of the song even mean? Did you mean to type 'bastard?'

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but all these random noises don't seem to blend at all. That and the main beat sounds just way too low...

Not to mention this is absurdly repetitive...by the end of the song I was just ready for that low sound to stop.

horsebugger responds:

no worries, i welcome the feedback, rather a true bad review than a fake good one.

yeah i did think that its a bit repetitive, when i made it. the name of the was just what i saved it as, and just decided to use it as the name.

[Poem (PRE)]

Well...

The beginning was boring, but beautifully done. The middle of the song was pretty much my favorite, the piano sounded fantastic. When you first decided to change the nature of the song I think it sounded kinda weird, but you ended up pulling it off how I don't know. It does blend well eventually in a really weird way.

Sounds interesting though, so I'll give you that much.

TheUprising1 responds:

Thanks!
I know what you mean about the beginning, it's actually the part I wasn't sure about, as was the middle part, but apparently everyone seems to like that. xD

[MIII - Flash Frozen]

Not bad

Very relaxing and very well made. Everything blends really well and the track was enjoyable to listen to. Struck me as a tad boring, but maybe you were going for a super chill song, which is okay too.

I'd say all in all it was a good track. I'll download this for my Chill mix =)

MobiusIII responds:

I appreciate your review! Chill was definitely the name of the game here, it is Ice Cap after all :P. Thanks for giving some feedback, glad you enjoyed it.

[Random Exercise In Comple]

Good

Well, the loop sounds great, and everything is blended together very well. It doesn't really stand out to me as an extraordinary track, but I can see that you obviously have a lot of potential here. I like some of the sounds you used a lot, others not so much, and maybe it's because I grew out of the techno stage and branched out into more of a chill electronic genre. Hell, could be because I'm half asleep, not sure. Either way, keep up the good work, you've got a lot of potential.

BAZmotherfucker responds:

Potential. Word. Can't really say I was going for something extraordinary, I probably put the least effort into this one out of all my tracks. Chill electronic stuff is dope though, I keep wanting to make some more trippy dub... You might enjoy my trippy lemonade dub. But you might not like the synths in it. Wow. I'm half asleep here too to tell you the truth. Keep up the good reviews, SeeD419 (ff8 reference / 1 number short of 420??)

Btw, couldn't help but notice that you have Aphex Twin's logo as your icon and that you quote Richard D. James in your profile. That kinda makes you my hero.

[cmb - bmf.2187 (rave meltdown)]

1:00

I'll be completely honest with you, the first minute of the song sounded atrocious to me. I was thinking, oh fuck. Another bad song with random electronic noises that make no sense, AND THEN 1:00 came. WOW. What a breath of fresh fuckin air, from 1:00 on the song was totally enjoyable. I'm wearing a pair of nice stereo headphones, and when that noise in the background alternated between the left and right channel, I actually got chills.

Good work. If I were you, I'd scrap the first minute it just doesn't seem to make any sense at all, after that the song just gets amazing.

cheesemonkeybill responds:

haha good call.

those chills were actually me tea-bagging the back of your neck o.O i'm just that sneaky
