TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Racing]

Man, I haven't heard from you in a while. Were you away at summer camp or something? Anyway, this is pretty good! :D I love the synths and mood and beat. It's really catchy and upbeat. Some transitions were a little sudden: :42, 1:25, 2:20, 2:48, 3:43, 4:11. Could've used some more substance at times, too. Some chords can really go a long way! ;) The transitions were the only thing that really bothered me about it, though. I think part of the issue is that the two parts that the transition attempts to connect are at two different volumes. The sweep at 3:43 might've worked if the part at 3:44 was a little quieter. Still, I like the rhythms and the energy and the melodies. Keep at it, JQiscool! ;D

JQiscool responds:

Hello door, how are ya.
Transitions still need work TONS of work.
And no I just took a long break :)

Thanks for reviewing again!

[Detious & Lockyn - Gradient]

Nice job! :D It progresses quickly enough, and is very catchy, engaging, and melodic. I really liked the transition from around 2:00 into 2:14. Some of the instruments were a little high-pitched and harsh-sounding, but they contrasted nicely with the heavy breaks at 2:15 and 3:52. Overall, really nice work! You could have another front-page hit here, Lockyn! ;D

Lockyn responds:

HALLO! Thanks thanks :D Heavy breaks all thanks to Mr. Detious! Happy instruments thanks to yours truly ;D Awww you're too kind. We hope so xD but thanks for listening, and I'm keeping an eye out for your future tracks ;3

[Juste Une Blague]

I like the quirky instruments and the theme and mood. It definitely made me think of a circus of sorts! :D The melodies were quite well-written as well, and you did a nice job with the structure and transitions. I'm not sure I liked the percussion instrument at :32, however. It sounded a little harsh to me, and created an overall atmosphere which I thought was a little too busy (even for a circus). I especially like the ending, though, and it's a very unique and interesting piece. Nice work overall. Good luck at NGADM! ;D

[Neon Wisteria]

I love the synths and the mood and the beat. It's very catchy and energetic and harmonious. I'm not too enthusiastic about the structure because it really could've used some more dynamic contrast, and 1:55 was the only spot where there was some structural relief. However, I do like how it really seemed to be going somewhere as a whole by 2:12. The melodies are nice, and it's a cool, feel-good sort of track. Overall, nice work! Keep at it, Bluebooblue! ;D

bluebooblue responds:

Thanks TD6!!! I really appreciate your reviews, I'm glad you felt the energy, cause that's what kept me going while making it, I wasn't really sure of what I was making xD

It's funny, you know? the way one can just grab a computer, a software and then sit and spit what one feels, I'm happy ;') hahaha

[Denouement]

I like the instruments and mood. It was climactic and engaging and I like the electronic turn it started taking at around a minute in. It sounds a little simplistic at times, but overall it's a fun piece. I like the pulsing synth at around 2:37 and the combination of orchestral and mechanical electronic sounds, the epitome of a robots-take-over sort of movie! :D Good luck at NGADM! ;D

Wolftacular responds:

Haha, thanks, I tried to not make it simplistic so I'd be interested to hear which parts you thought were so and why! Glad you enjoyed it overall! Thanks for the feedback!

[Draesdne Adaas]

I love the mood and instruments! :D The structure was interesting. I like how there's apprehension in the beginning, then the section around 1:40 reminds me of a funeral, and then the apprehension returns at the end, as if there will be a sequel to this movie! XD Overall, it's a job well done! Good luck at NGADM! ;)

samulis responds:

Thanks! Good luck with your future work!

[Cthulhu Surfaces]

I love the instruments and mood. The intensity was huge! :D Sometimes, however ( :46,1:27, 1:38, etc.) I felt like it transitioned between moods a little too suddenly, and the structure was a little confusing, like you tried to squeeze a 15-minute long orchestral piece into 3 1/2 minutes. That said, I do especially like several of the isolated parts, including :46, 1:52, and 2:23. You definitely have a wide variety of emotions in here: sadness, apprehension, exhilaration, etc. An excellent track overall, though. I find myself craving a second movement! :3 Good luck at NGADM! ;)

headphoamz responds:

Oh thank ya! There are definitely several flavors to the piece, for sure. I wanted to make it longer! But the mix was just too time-consuming to go another day. Glad you enjoyed it; perhaps in the future Cthulhu will return! :)
