olcohalic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Insanctuary - Back & Fort]

Woah...

I just realised i've been listening to this for roughly half an hour.
The constant blowing of the wind in the background, and the short, echoing melody gives a real sense of a cold winter.
The melody starts, then fades away from time to time, making the piece dreamy and peaceful, yet desolate and broken. I can feel the fake sense of safety that the music conveys.
Its spooky how much i can feel from this when i listen.
Probably the most thought provoking piece of music I have ever heard.

Have a great new year.

Insanctuary responds:

Thankyou. I am astonished that you were able to feel exactly what I meant when I did the fade in and fade out. This is an arrogant circle, I can't just throw it all away, and make this into a song. It's a semi-loop due to my deep notion about running in circles. This song is practically the infinite loop of deception. That was an ocean though. XD Not the wind. :P It was supposed to bring a sense of awakening, but then they fall right back into their impending doom repeatedly.

[Mario Underworld Remix]

Awesome!

Flawless. Is it just me, or would this suit a Paper Mario underground level? The song is too deep for normal platformers, but not detailed enough for a Mario Galaxy-esque game.

Keep it up! And what instruments did you use on FL? Just wondering.

Andertxuman139 responds:

Thank you so much, I think it's for a typical Mario 2D game, but I didn't think in a Paper Mario, it would be great.
I used the 3xOSC, Elec. Guitar, some hip-hop and techno beats and the Garritan Personal Orchestra for the Chorus.

[AF - Vitality]

You know...

When I listen to songs like this i feel sorry for people who haven't found Newgrounds Audio yet. Everyone on here who make electronic music are much better than professional musicians.

epic song... :D

aliaspharow responds:

Well i'm flattered. Truer words have never been said

[(CHS) Last Hope]

Awesome

It definitely would fit in a game, most likely an RPG like Final Fantasy. I may be being picky, or stupid, but the main melody could have the tempo slowed down a bit (i think thats the technical way of saying it!) just try it, it might sound better. Either way its amazing.

ChaosDragon004 responds:

Hey, I hear you bro. I will try it out and if I like it you'll be hearing it in the future when I release the remastered version of my songs. They will be more ballanced and have some stuff added on to them.

[tattered regiments]

OH MY GOD

Looking at one of your responses... this is PERFECT for a flash game! I can picture it now! Or for an iPod game...? I hope a company scouts you...

acmeDyne responds:

Thank ye!

[First Fantasy Theme]

This is your first?

Really? I know it's simple, but you did a good job!

Except the loop needs to be smoother, because it kind of jumps at the very end. You do want it to loop right?

And can I ask what music creating software you use?

bcdefg123 responds:

It is not supposed to be a loop- it only plays once, and was rendered as a song (I believe), not a loop. But actually, I have no reason for that, so looping would probably be better. Hmm...

It was my first piece for the game, but it's not my first on Newgrounds.

And I use FL Studio 9 Fruity Edition.

Thanks for reviewing it!

[Sonic CD Intro(757irish Demo)]

amazing...

I completely forgot that I left it on, and i checked for it in my album list on media player! Very professional, in fact you barely have to change it that much... please make more! Great for ambient music in a game methinks...

757irish responds:

haha thnx man. to be be honest i thought i f***ed it up. Im new to video game genre so i don't know if people liked it or not but i may actually work more into this song and do some ohters. thanks for the compliment :)
