TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bursts of Inspiration]

I like the melodies a lot, as well as the instruments (especially the distorted mid-range bass at :06). The intro seemed a little more rushed than in your other tracks, but I still liked it, and it was definitely very climactic and catchy. The instrument at 1:23 was a little too harsh and loud, but I liked how you led into the melody at 1:59, which was probably a favorite point of the song for me. I also like what you did at 2:37 - giving the melody a new instrument made it seem...more varied than it actually was. XD I agree that it is quite a bit repetitive. I like the bassiness around 4:15, and how that leads into a very conclusive ending. It even loops pretty well! :D Awesome structure and transitions as always. Keep at it, Matt! ;D

[Sequence]

Hell yes! >:D The build-up was great, as it always was, and I love the changes you made at 1:01. I love the instruments and structure and transitions and mood. The piano was a nice touch at around 1:30. It added a lot of chill relief to the energetic nature of the rest of the track. I love the melody at 2:14. I also appreciate how you varied it again at 2:44. The outro was pretty cool, too. Overall, just fantastic work! :D Keep it up, Khrossfire! ^^

Lockyn responds:

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Hello TheDoor, I still gotta review your newish stuffs... damn I am lazy xD I will get to it, I promise! Thanks so much for the reviews, and I'm glad you enjoyed the changes I made ;3 hopefully I did the WIP justice! THANKS THANKS THANKS!

[-The grand sea remix-]

Very catchy and cool. :D I love the instruments and melodies! I thought the transition into 1:15 could've been a little smoother, though. It certainly is very blissful and upbeat, however. Perfect for a videogame! ^^ Perhaps the melody could've used a bit more variation, but at the same time I like the structure as it is, and the outro felt very conclusive, which I liked. You should make trance more often, Waterflame! :D Btw, may I ask why you didn't enter NGADM this year? I was looking forward to seeing what you would make for it. Anyway, awesome track! Looking forward to your next album! :)

Waterflame responds:

Thank you! and thank you for the constructive criticism :) I decided not to enter cause i have so many projects going on this year, both for companies and for my own sake. So i figured it would just stress me out on top of it all to join this year. Ill apply for sure next year tho, if there is a next year! :)

[Realisations]

I liked the ominous mood at the beginning, as well as the instruments throughout. The intro is a little long, but I like that distorted bass at 1:10. You really play a lot with the mood of the piece. It goes from ominous to angry to blissful to ominous again! I love pieces that do that. I also like the transition at 3:09 a lot. Overall, the structure and transitions were good, cool instruments, not too repetitive, and nice work with the mood! I thought the ending was cool too, but it cut off a little suddenly (did you intend to loop this?). Great job, though! Best of luck at NGADM! ;D

InvisibleObserver responds:

I love to play with elements of different genres, instrument styles, sonic values, aswell as altering moods within peices - awesome that its super clear without having anyone feel disrupted by it.

The cutting at the end was more a result of me having finished the song half an hour before I went to work, and my work shift going over the final submission time... so I was balls to the wall rushed to just get it pumped out and uploaded.
