NekoMika's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Aqua Boom]

Really has a nice Super Mario Bros. sound to it. Makes me think of Mario or Luigi going through a secret underwater stage to reach the final level much faster but there are strobe lights in the background that make the stage a little harder for the player to complete as the party lights distract them.

The synth has a wet sound to it and which synth is being used for that sound? The higher sounding synth has a very nice rolling sound and tone to it. Then the bass makes the song a real party related piece. I hear a slight bounce like sound in here too, kind of makes me think of Pinkie Pie jumping around but with the sound being ping ponged for a nice distorted effect.

The drums are great and I really enjoy the deep pounding sound that they have being given off. Also is that a slight distorted voice I hear, if so then who's voice is it anyways?

Overall, great song for a party.

Thank you for pleasant review, I am happy to read it :D
About voice - just a little bit of automated ableton's redux and hifreq boost. I don't know who it is, just voice sample, maybe it is not alive voice :D
And about what synth you talk? There are no something especially, main melody is just square waveform with some effects.
Sorry for my english :D

[=(SOTE)= (Arcane RMK)]

Really nice, slow, and mellow remix of an already great song. I really do get the feeling of being in the Everfree Forest and being entirely curious as to why I am there or what is lurking behind the next tree or bush I pass as I move along.

The drums here sound incredible although for this kind of track, I imagine adding in another kick so that you have more than one kick going off. The hi hats and snares sound great too.

The bass has a cutting sound to as it starts and then slowly cuts away just as fast as it came.

As for the leading synth I really like the reverb that occurs after each note giving that sound and feel as if something was following you around int he forest but you don't want to look and you want to get out of there.

Like how later in there is the buildup and then the song kicks into full overdrive as you start to trot or run out of the forest as fast possible.

Overall, excellent remix of your older song.

ArcaneSoul responds:

AHHHHHH! SOMEONE FINALLY GETS WHY I GAVE IT THIS KIND OF PACE! :D

Yeah, in the parts where the chorus arrived it was suppose to similate running and at the last chorus, imagine seeing all these terryifying creatures chasing you, not knowing what the hell they are or what they want with you.

Man.....i love this song soooo much :D

[Slow Madness (Loop)]

Really get a feeling of someone who has lost their mind and walking on the street a little bit disoriented and as the loop ends they fall over and pass out. Really odd sounding pattern but it adds more to that feeling of madness and being disoriented.

gamejunkie responds:

Thanks SCTE3. Your really scaring me now. Get out of my head. When we finished this track and were deciding what to call it. I came up with 'Slow Madness' because I said I thought it sounded like some poor bastard was slowly descending into a state of madness. I love that you can appreciate all types of music. It makes you a great reviewer if you ask me. You seem to have a great insight into the feeling we are trying to get across to people. Thanks heaps.

Cheers gamejunkie.

[Lettin' Loose]

This is a pretty twisted and nice guitar solo to listen to. The only real problem I am hearing is a couple of really high notes near the start of the song, not sure if you did that intentionally or accidentally.

gamejunkie responds:

Thanks SCTE3. Every note is played as intended. Including the high notes. This track along with a couple of others were thought up and recorded within an hour. Now you can see it's called 'Lettin' Loose' for a reason. Because we were just playing around and letting loose. Another much appreciated review.

Cheers gj.

[Ridin' Hard]

Really like this little loop, can see two people riding on horses through an endless desert as they go somewhere. I can hear a slight bass in the background which I like a lot since it makes this song sound much more alive than just having a guitar playing alone. The guitar itself sounds good as usual.

gamejunkie responds:

Thanks SCTE3. I guess what we done here was effective then, because after we made this, we named it because we felt it sounded like something from a modern day cowboy movie, hence the title, 'Ridin' Hard'. Well picked up on. It's like you're in my head. LOL. Get out. Only thing you got wrong here, no bass. Just a single guitar being played. Thanks again for another great review.

Cheers gamejunkie.

[Forever Fields of Gold]

Another nice sounding piece. I feel this can be extended and worked upon by adding bass, drums, and some lyrics for the vocalists to sing. The guitar sounds rather relaxing with the notes lingering. Kind of reminds of Gemini from Guitar Hero 2 as well. Good work here again.

gamejunkie responds:

Thank you once again SCTE3. It's always a pleasure to read your reviews. Too short for D & B & Lyrics. Was intended for use as a short tune for a preloader or something similar. Maybe to use as a game or movie opening track.

Cheers gamejunkie.

[Gunslingers Vision]

Another really nice little song. The song does have that fighting scene tone to it too. As for who the two people fighting are, no idea but I can imagine them both being in a bar while doing it. Great job playing as usual.

gamejunkie responds:

Thanks SCTE3. Came up with this one in about 30 minutes from inception to recording. Really has a cool barroom brawl feel to it I think. It fits in well with the Stick Fight made by RickyElectroniMaster. I think he really done the track justice in his flash. Thanks again for the great review.

Cheers gamejunkie.

[Shreddin' Hard]

The guitar sounds very relaxing. Sounds a lot like something you would watch at a live show. The guitarist is getting to chill out and jam on the guitar while the rest of the band takes a bathroom break for some reason. Once again, very nice guitar playing and it sounds like there were no effects used on the amp either.

gamejunkie responds:

Thanks again SCTE3. I never thought of this as a bathroom break kind of track but you're dead right, it really does have that feel to it. LOL. Someone elses perspective really does make you think about what you've played. No effects at all on this track, just good guitar playing.

Cheer gamejunkie.

[Down and Up]

The playing here seems good. Kind of makes me think of the Power Rangers.

gamejunkie responds:

Thanks SCTE3. Go, go indeed. Short, sweet and simple. Gets the job done.

Cheers gj.

[J@K's Tribute]

This sounds rather enjoyable and very simple for a guitar only song. Really like how it plays around with the Hendrix songs. Add some backing bass and a light drum track to the song and it would be good to go I think.

Overall, nice little short piece.

gamejunkie responds:

Thanks SCTE3. Another great review, much appreciated. Nice to see you figured out that the title, 'Tribute', does indeed represent a tribute to the great Jimi Hendrix. This is one of my favourite tracks and I feel it does justice to Hendrix. Some of these songs are purely guitar for a reason, hence no drum or bass.

Cheers gamejunkie.
