TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rhythmic Pattern]

It's very...unique. I like the instruments, perhaps with the exception of that distorted bass. The structure wasn't anything too special and the transitions didn't really stand out to me, but it creates an interesting atmosphere and mood. Maybe it would be good for an "escape-from-the-dungeon" sort of game. Keep at it, Bluelephan2! ;)

bluelephan2 responds:

OK. Thank you!

[Krupinkin - Sitarast]

I love the instruments and beat and rhythms. It's climactic and catchy, but also atmospheric and moody at the same time. It's very unique and engaging. I think it ends a little suddenly, and it would probably function better as a full-length track, with the part at 1:46 as more of a bridge than an outro. Still, it's a cool and interesting piece. Keep up the good work! ;D

Krupinkin responds:

Thank you! Will add a full song once resolve issue with strange noise when bouncing

[DTS - The Edge ft. Lockyn]

I love the instruments and mood. It is very bass-y and energetic and cool-sounding, yet also atmospheric and spacey. Dubstep isn't exactly my cup of tea, and the drops were a bit harsh for my tastes, but it's still a very engaging and interesting track. It's very well-mixed, but the part at 2:18 felt like more of a bridge than an outro. I think it would function better as a full-length track. Lockyn and I have been exchanging reviews for quite some time now, but I also admire your work a lot, DeadRewind! Keep at it, man! ;D

DetiousMusic responds:

Thanks a lot. :D and I know it's pretty short, I'll try and make it longer! d:

[Sable's Battle]

I like the mood and instruments, as well as the LFO effects at around :10-:20. The transition into :33 was nice and gradual, but it could've used some more substance just to keep it engaging. I also thought that it felt structurally incomplete. I could see this turned into a very complex 5-minute-long chase sort of piece. I was waiting for the strings/horns/edgy guitars to come in full-strength, but it just ended there! Still, I like the percussion and the drama. Nice work! :D Oh, and "Gradient" made the front page if you hadn't already noticed. I knew you had another hit there, Lockyn! ;D

Lockyn responds:

Hey! It does feel incomplete, it doesn't help that you are listening to it alone without the movie xD I don't think I can do much more with this piece with my current skill. These ones require so much more thought and planning than EDM >__< Thanks, I know! Detious and I are proud :D Thanks for the review, I always look forward to your music! Cheers!

[EnV - Streetlights]

Yay! :D Classic EnV-style track! Instrument at the beginning reminds me of "Paladin." Love those melodies and instruments and upbeat vibes! The mixing is great, as always. The intro is a little long, and I think you use very similar structures and instruments for a lot of your tracks, but it's still a cool song. I'd love to see some more variety from you in the future, though, Envy. Still, you never disappoint! Keep it up! ;D

Envy responds:

I actually said to myself "My next track needs to be a bit different to change it up after this one... At least for one song."

So you're not wrong :)

[Ostinato]

I love the instruments and harmonies. It's very contemplative and moody. It loops well, too. You should really try to do something more with all of your tracks, because they all really have a lot of potential! ;D

bluelephan2 responds:

Thank you for the encouragement. :)

[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
