[TL - Last Dimension [DnB]]

Wonderful

To be honest I like how this piece starts out with the subtle and soft piano and chorus coming in as soft starters. Almost as if you had finished the fight for your life and watching pink cherry blossoms fall from the sky. Then the drums come in and you start running back to your home with your giant sword in hand smiling.

The piano sounds very cheerful and gives the feeling as if happiness was rushing through your veins and head at the same time. The chorus synth in the background kind of gives a feeling as if everything will be alright and peaceful once more.

The drums are pretty sweet here as they pay really fast. I am going to take a guess that you played them through a couple of times, chose one you liked it, looped it, then sped up the tempo of them to give a faster punk hero feel to them.

Enjoyed that breakdown near 2:35 with the drums going up and down on the reverb for a few moments. The song is really great sounding though.

Overall, very cool victory song. I can also see it being used as a level song for those reaching the final level which is a deep space facility where the boss causing lots of destruction awaits. Excellent work here.

Wow. That was an awesome review. I really enjoyed reading it.

Your visualization was fantastic! Really cool! I intended the song to sound cheerful, it was what I was aiming for anyway.

The drums were actually sampled and played through my DAW. Not really played that fast, that would be kind of impossible. =X But this song is an experimental song modeled after DrumNBass, thus the fast drums.

Well, thanks for leaving such a long review. Really cool. =D

[Against the Ultimate Evil]

A little messy

Kind of makes me think of Final Fantasy III music actually where you are getting ready to enter a boss fight with the way the bass line is set up to play here. The tune does make a really good boss song though so that is something to be happy about.

The bass line used here is very quick sounding and kind of gives a feel as if this was the final boss battle or next to last boss battle in a game. The strings feel a bit messy but they seem to keep in a good rhythm and I think the only thing that could make it better is if there was a few long string moments to make the battle song more drastic.

Overall, nice boss tune but could use some long string notes from time to time.

Thank you for the review, I'll definitely try that out. Although I'll likely be too lazy to edit it in for a while XD

But I can definitely see what you mean, starting from about 1:20ish it could use some of that.

[Dinner Rush]

Very fast

I kind of get a restaurant feel with this piece I guess. It kind of makes you feel as if you rushed to get done eating and junk. Cool piece though.

The piano plays very quickly and fast. It has overlaying layers that makes it feel quickly fast. You soon find yourself unable to eat as you get caught up in all the excitement and rush.

Overall, fast paced music is very fast!!

I did try to give it a real feel, but I could not play the intro twice, I mean its not sped up to much from my own playing speed. but I had a hard time repeating the into, it would always sound off. so I had to just copy the first part and paste it whenever you hear it. It works to give it that automatic robot feel, but it still lacks a depth of care for the resteraunt, and a mistake or two in the later tune may have made it sound better.

[Stargenx - CardiacDistillation]

Somber and sad

I like how this piece goes kind of. It sounds like something you would hear in a heartbreaking movie like a man having to leave his best friend behind ( a cat) because they are going off to a college and they do not accept pets. He tries to fit in and act casual but he looks out his window a few weekends later and feels alone doing so. Soon they start to act as themselves rather than chasing dreams of others and some people like that and befriend them. They become good college buddies and try to help each other out in situations when they can.

The piano kind of emphasizes sadness in this piece. The chorus is very light and also slightly makes you feel sad as well. The tune makes you feel as if you were about to leave someone you cared about a lot behind for better or worse. Very sad piece.

Overall, sad and tearful piece of music. Beautiful work.

Thanks for the review!
It is kind of melancholic.

[Fun Ball]

Cartton like

Kind of makes you think of a cartoon. The piano at the start had a moment where it sounded like a Who song too. This sounds like something playing to an old and funny cartoon piece as well.

The piano plays extremely fast, wonder how chaotic it could have sounded if you tried that Carnival song approach which would require two extremely fast piano players to play. The tune kind of moves around as if it was two characters chasing each other around.

Overall, cool cartoon song feel.

Right now i must have around 200 - 500 songs i have made and recorded. Acctualy I had no idea newgrounds was such a far of electronic, and I feel it lacks some feel. not saying that I provide that, my 4 votes show otherwise, but I want a place to put my songs, so I need to recreate them one by one and upload them. this one however was random

[Wack Ass Motherfucker (3S)]

Crazy

First thing is wow is this a very long and cool trance piece you worked on! The way the beat goes is very slick and dynamic with how it runs all the way to the end. It controls and keeps a very fast pace the whole way as well.

The synth sounds like it was prerecorded and then the tempo of it was sped up to give it a faster and more furious feel to it. The drums sound incredibly vast and awesome on this one as well. It's as if they were just there to kick ass. The vocals used on this were cool as well.

At some parts the synth kind of makes me think of Luigi wheezing humorously enough. The breakdown was pretty cool anyways. The slight and subtle use of bass here gives the song a highly dynamic feel as well.

Overall, fast, speedy, and awesome!! Would be cool for a fast paced boss battle.

Dj-GST responds:

Thanks man!

Haha yeah, I sped up the samples to fit the tempo of 165bpm, and yeah, the drums are there to make the track sound more badass!

Lol what? Haha thanks.

[Consenesco]

Alright

I think you were a little heavy with the bass though. Bass should always be lighter and in the background giving emphasis to the main instruments at play while providing a deep feeling backing to them.

The bass is just about the only thing here that needs to be made lighter. The synth actually sounds pretty good and has a good consistency of providing a decent beat on its own I think. I like how thunder-like the drums sound when they pop in here as well.

Overall, just lighten up on the bass.

Thanks for the review.

[<EagleGuard> Last Stand]

Cool rock song

Like how it starts with a feel of it being some classical chorus piece as well. The chorus and piano are very nicely worked. The tune sounds like it would be part of an epic fight movie where the next to last battle starts.

The guitar here sounds really nice but what effect is that? The delay effect? IF so then nice!! The drums are very light and pretty swell here as they move along and cause great gladness to swell inside as one delivers the final blow I think. The tone is just really sick and I like how this one turned out.

Overall, completely fitting title. :P

EagleGuard responds:

The lead guitar uses a delay and a bit of reverb. I just used the standard VST's that shipped with Sonar 8, which means they are a little basic (though they do the trick, I guess).

Anyway, glad you liked it and thanks for the review ^^

[Blackholes]

Not bad

I notice the first and only thing in here that needs to be removed is the ringing at the start, it's kind of just like an extra thing slapped in at the last moment as a filler really. The tune itself is pretty cool though.

The ringing is just what I consider to be a filler content piece to make the song sound a bit better I guess. The drums are cool and give a nice space feeling to it as well. The synth has a dark yet strangely twisted feel to it, kind of sounds a bit like GLaDOS beginning to talk as well strangely. The whole tune together comes together as a great and cool piece for a science like game I suppose.

Overall, not bad, just remove ringing.
