TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[bliss]

I love the funky instruments and mood. The hat leading up to the transition at :34 made it sound a little too busy, but I love the transition itself as well as the melody at :34. It does have a very warm vibe, and it even loops pretty well. Nice job! :D

johnfn responds:

Thanks bro! I recently discovered that if you put tons of crashes in a row it sounds pretty cool, so I decided to abuse it in my build up. Ha!

[Born Into Blackness]

I love the instruments and mood. You incorporated the vocals really well. I wish there was more variation, though, and that it progressed a little faster. However, I like the emotion induced by the piano and the beat as well. It's well-structured and smooth-flowing, but given the lack of variation it probably shouldn't have been 4 minutes long. Still, I like the ending and, overall, it's a really good piece. ;)

SideBySky responds:

Thank you for the review! I'm not very musically educated.. So I might Message you with concerns for the variation. If you think there is something wrong then I'll fix it! Other than that thank you for the kind words and expect more like this! :)

[While.Dreams.Remain.Mino]

I love the mood and instruments. It's the perfect combination of tranquil, creepy, and blissful! :D It's very well-structured and smooth-flowing. I love what you did with the drums later in the piece, and how the mood is completely transformed. The ending was a little sudden, but that's my only complaint! ;) Amazing work! ;D

bluebooblue responds:

Wow!! I just saw this review, sorry for the late reply! Thank you so much, I'm really glad you like it ;D yes! well, the ending is like that because that's what the dream turned into, you know how dream sequences always change and stuff

Thanks for listening and reviewing n_______n

[Village on Fire]

I like the instruments and mood. The melody creates a sense of stumbling somehow. I imagined an overweight, drunk Southern man waddling through a ghost town as if he was the mayor! XD It's a short, feel-good piece. Nice work! ;D

Possibly responds:

Thanks very much :) I think you've just described my life...apart from being Southern .

[Canon in Trance]

I like the dreamy mood at the beginning, but I don't like that aggressive-sounding instrument that starts around :30. It doesn't really fit with the otherwise blissful mood, so it sounds a little out-of-place to me. Some of your transitions felt a little too busy and angry, like around 1:30. It got better after 2:00, and I like the part at 2:45 a lot, as well as the melody at 5:12. I like the ending too. However, I must be honest in saying that I like your original work better. I'm looking forward to your collab, and also to August 25th. ;D

Dylnmatrix responds:

Thanks man. I guess the fact that I didn't put as much dedication into this as my other tracks showed for you. I personally like the bass that I bring in at 0:30, and I wanted to use Massive for the first time lol, but I understand that it isn't exactly everybody's cup of tea. My mind wanted to do a kind of mix of the two moods, and it worked for my ears. -shrugs- And I'm rambling.

Thank you again, it's always nice to see a review from you. I'll have the collab up here soon, and the date...well, I'll get back to you guys on that.

[bonus stage]

The melody was instantly engaging, and I love the variation and energy. It's very melodic and catchy. Cool instruments, smooth-flowing, well-structured. Maybe you could add a little more substance around :45 - 1:05, and make the ending a little more interesting. Overall, it's another short, but cool piece, Johnfn! :D

johnfn responds:

Yeah I think you're right about the :45 to 1:05 section, I was a little lazy with that melody, but I didn't know what else to do. (Maybe a 8 bit breakdown?) Without you reviewing my stuff my songs would feel pretty lonely, so thanks a lot for dropping by!

[Between Stars (Short Demo)]

Catchy and fun! :D Cool instruments, well-structured, smooth-flowing. Maybe it could be a little more unique, but other than that it's a really solid track. Are you planning on uploading the full version to NG sometime? :D

alvys18 responds:

Hey thanks man! I will definitely upload it when I'm done with it! cheers
