NekoMika's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{Dj K} NYAN CAT -loop-]

Pretty close

Not much to say aside from a few cool sounds added but it still sounds very close to the original except now it feels more like a breakdancing beat now. Very nicely done remix here, would love to hear more in the future. <3

DjKirb responds:

Thanks =D

Don't know what else should go here. It was just thrown together.

[NS94 - Suspended Failure 2]

Dark

This kind of makes me think of Metal Sonic in a lot of ways. Mostly because it is a failure that ultimately becomes a badass boss requiring twelve characters to finally stop it which is a lot I think. Metal Overload had a first part that sounded like this except a lot more dramatic though.

The sounds I am hearing here kind of give off a feeling of desperation as you and the foe stand face to face. One is simply a clone created from the other one's memories. They jump back and the fight begins..

The tune is twisty.

Overall, dark and twisty.

Ironclover responds:

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! :)

[Razor Hail]

Chaotic

Sounds like something you would see at one of those weird stage shows I guess. Also sounds like a death metal song with the guitar replaced wit ha synth which is funny and cool I suppose. This one turned out strangely cool though so that was a pleasure anyways.

The synth is very cool and high toned and pitched here. Kind of makes me think this would be an excellent boss stage song to use actually. The bass line sound very fat here and loud which is sweet. The drums provide the last piece and have an excellent pace with them. Really enjoyed the double bass parts too. The voice near the start was cool I guess.

LightKeeper responds:

Thanks, like I said working on a lot of "experimental" stuff right now. Just trying to find a sound I like and trying to master my techniques so I can really make something "mind blowing." This isn't it, but it's a step forward. I've actually heard the idea for this as boss music before, and I think that'd be pretty awesome.

Thanks for the review!

[Glitchypie (WIP)]

Very glitchy

I can kind of tell where the ponies are since they are the glitch sounds anyways. The high pitch is pinkie pie while the lower one is Fluttershy right? Sounds very well composed here as well. Really enjoy how the beat manages to flow. I hear a bit of Rainbow Dash as well.

Like how this sounds like a mix of rock and trance or as I prefer to call it "Electro Rock" which sounds pretty nice too. The bass line is a good foundation and I enjoy it goes here. The synths sound very pleasing. The drums keep in good time and I like the glitchy pony voices used here.

Overall, good piece. <3

poowis responds:

Yeah you're right with the samples, and thanks, I'm happy to hear the composition works.
Electro Rock eh? That sounds suiting to be honest, but as I say, who needs genres...

Thanks a lot, now just needs some hi-hat work and a name...

[SMW - The Vanilla Dome]

Nice job

Heh, the Vanilla Dome, Bowser Valley, and Special World overworld themes were my three favorite tunes from the game actually. Mostly because they just bring out some of the best from the game with great challenges to the player.

The xylophone sounds brilliant with the high notes. The piano playing deep notes was a nice touch here as well. The other deep sounds I hear are just icing on the cake. You did a good job of making a cover version of this song.

Overall, nice!!

Ironclover responds:

Thank you, and I have the Special World in progress! So it will be here soon. Thank you :D

[-ganon95- Nyan Cat]

Meow meow

I still have yet to figure out why the thing saying meow in a speedy fashion is nyan? Oh well, the name sticks though right? This a good piece the one night that I keep hearing throughout the loop sounds a bit like a chocobo to me which is cool I guess.

The bass line was nicely done. The main synth playing the higher notes is really nice to hear as well, kind of makes you feel happy too. The drums are simple and good too. I like where you added another instrument later in, sounds as if it were trying to calm the song down a bit too.

Overall, nice remix.

ganon95 responds:

yea, i didn't want to keep it the same thing over and over so i mixed it up a bit

[Falling sideways]

Potential

This seems pretty decent for a first actually. The piano sounds a bit like a synth but that is not a real concern to me since you use a few other instruments to stay to the classical area of music too. This piece sounds nice though. Kind of makes me think of Final Fantasy One through Five since they tended to have tracks like these for most of the game except in battles.

The piano synth sounds very calming yet erratically cool. Liked the later part where it began to play the higher notes in a dramatic fashion too. The xylophone and bells were very well done too, they just add to the beat and make it sound better as well. Like the chorus you added, they just give off a good feeling of a middle age styled thing going on.

Overall, good potential for you in the future, keep it up.

Angiki responds:

Erm... As much as I appreciate the positive comments and score, I didn't add a choir, though I do know what you mean, there was that voice-like element as a byproduct of the synthesizer, and as coincidental as that was I think it does make for a nice effect. As for piano, well... I have no idea where you're getting that from, because it was a string section synth, with a timpani and celesta coming in near the end.

[Force Your Way - FFVIII]

Great remix

I found this to be completely awesome actually. Like how you added a guitar to the mix actually which makes it a pretty cool remix as well. The keyboard sounds the same and good. Almost always hated the Minotaur brothers and Diablos since they both took me ages to finally beat and get on my team and I always gave them both to Rinoa along with Carbuncle.

The guitar sounds sweetly done here and I really enjoyed it. Good work with the drums on this one too. Then lastly came the bass which finishes up the song. All the way through it just screams how good the game was.

Overall, excellent cover piece.

Spailpin responds:

Haha Glad you enjoyed it!

I always hated fighting Diablo, but once you had him, he was awesome. Also, his card is really awesome and allowed me to whoop the Queen of Cards finally, and start getting some more serious cards. I realize not everyone played the card game, but I found it to be really awesome. I had no problem with Tthe Minotaur Bros. because you can just cast float and ignore all of their ground attacks.

Okay, enough being a nerd. Thanks for listening!

[-ganon95- Thunderhorse 2]

Cool remix

I like how you replaced the main guitar with a synth to make it sound hyper. Then you replaced the bass with a synth bass line that sounds very matching. I also enjoy how I can hear a xylophone hidden in there as well. The drums sound wickedly done for a remix too. The tune kind of still makes you want to headbang despite it being a techno theme remix.

Overall, awesome remix. \m/

ganon95 responds:

yea thunderhorse is a fun song to remix, you can add alot of drum variations to it

[Eirun - Everfree]

Heck yes

I think this is a rather perfectly fitting theme for the forest because you have no idea what is there. They way they describe it's like the whole world just lives right outside of the pony kingdom too. I like the dark and sinister backbone tone this beat provides too. The way it flows makes it feel as if it could also be a boss battle theme as well which is pretty wicked in my opinion as well.

The dark guitar and xylophone combo is pretty sweet here and gives the user a feel of they have to get out of the forest before meeting their end at the hooves of Liberty too. The drums and bass line make it feel really dark here. The synth kind of makes me think of the dark and quirky atmosphere of Portal One as well.

Overall, cool, dark, and sinister MLP FIM tune.

Eirun responds:

Yay! ^_^ (omg replying so late)

However I'll re-upload this because the guitar/harp/plucker thing sounded a bit off with the slow synth chords.
