NekoMika's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Awaken the Air]

Really hyped up

This has a very hyped up feeling. Could see it being used in an action or boss stage actually. The synth and overloaded bass 'n' drums make this a very loud and clear song for one thing. AWESOME. Really would go nice in that game as well possibly. The second synth has a nice up feeling to it as well.

The overall flow seems to be uplifting and almost something for people to rave to as well from the way it feels. I could see myself just kind of waving my hands in the air and breaking it down as this truly great song is placed. Really enjoying the flow of this tune though.

Would love to hear more from you in the future. Great job on this piece of work.

OpenLight responds:

Thanks! I'm not sure why this is rated so poorly haha but I don't guess I mind, especially since this review was good.

Thanks again! I'm psyched that you liked it!

[Winding Windmill Windowsi]

Sounds relaxing

This actually has a very appealing and relaxing sensational feel to it. Kind of makes me think of old 90's sleuth action movies where the bad guy was the nicest person to put a twist on things. The slight drums and keyboards give it that full ambient feel.

The windy bass and wind feeling effects also cause it to feel slightly nostalgic to me making me think of sad things from when I was younger and things were slightly happier in a strange way. It sounds very sad and creepy towards the very final seconds of this tune. This turned out to be a good tune though.

Excellent work on this one, looking forward to new pieces in the future.

[Wild Pokemon Battle (Kanto)]

Pokemon nostalgia

This is a seriously great remix actually. Alos sounds similar to the one from Gold/Silver/Crystal as well. The bass and drums were just sick actually. The synths were what made it really spark though. Had a lot of good times as I roamed through Kanto but always got aggravated with trying to hunt down and getting a Chansey to appear. However afterward I could trade and get an Aerodactyl which made it worth my time actually.

This song just proves that some games can get a lot of great remixes and covers. Great work on a cover remix of a excellent game song. Keep on making more, they sound great so far. Good luck with future pieces.

[You'll Never Guess This! ~P~]

Good song

This is always a nice battle song alternative for the other normal battles. Gives a great break from them though. Really like the main quick riff though as it sounds pretty great to me. The guitar and synth working together sound brilliant as well as fast. The drum 'n' bass along with bass make this one great song too.

Kind of gives that feel as if one has just defeated a harder than usual foe in a game as well. Have to say though you did an excellent job on this song. A great epic semiboss song as well. Not sure if I can figure out what the original was or maybe there was no original at all.

Overall, a great piece, loved it.

[Dancin' To The Lucky Sevens]

Great job

Have to say it has a pretty sick techno trance beat going on. Don't know why but it kind of has a Madness vibe going along with it too. The small quicker beats that come in make it sound a bit erratic but also a very cool boss theme to it as well. A bit more of a build up then a full explosion of a beat would be really nice though.

The drums, bass, and synths sound really spectacular together though. Like around 1:50 where it speeds back up. This is a very nice beat though. Excellent work on a great boss trance song. Looking forward to more.

Corrupted117 responds:

Thank you so much for the 10! I look forward to improving this song based on the feedback I have been receiving! Your contribution definitely was a great one! Thanks again!

Krakens

The bass line reminds me of the Kraken boss battle theme from Earthbound however the synth and drums make me think of other things. The flow of the tune seems to be relaxing and a tad bit sad as well at the start and towards the end of it. The song sounds very nice itself though.

Makes me feel like I was looking out to the clouds and seeing a feather falling towards me. I pick up the feather and feel like keeping it for some reason. Over the life time it brings me much luck and every time I look back at the feather I feel happy to have been lucky enough to get it that day.

Never happened but it is what I see when I hear this song. Nice work on a piece of bliss.

Solkrieg responds:

Thank you very much on this generous review. Glad you enjoyed the song as well! I see what you mean about the feather though, I always kept them when I was a child. Although my mother wasn't too happy about it due to "Germs" and such.
(I kept them anyway :P)

[you broke my heart into 8bits]

Great digitalness

The bass line and drums sound really amazing here but this song is pretty much ear candy to anyone hearing it actually. I can get a great feel of this being a boss song for a final or epic and hidden boss in an old school kind of game. The overall flow of the beat makes me feel kind of jumpy and good as well..

I kind of just see myself roaming a city with a pipe in hand destroying punks and other baddies who get near me. I then get to the final boss and have one heck of a fight but finally win after nearly losing my last life to the boss.

Overall, this is a great song, good work here!!!

[Pop 2 Reggae]

Great piece

First few seconds make me think of Holy Diver and then it changes to a pop song and it makes one feel very nice as well just to hear it all day too. I could clap along to the song too. Could really see this song being used in a collab of some sort in a music video illustrating someone just having a very good day.

The piano and drums are great. The claps make people feel like jumping into it as well. This song turned out pretty well I must say. Very good job, looking forward to more in the future.

Hey there

I just listened to Holy Diver and it's actually pretty similar eh :) I always thought the claps were too loud, but hey, if it makes you want to clap too, then they've served their purpose :)

I like that you like my piano and drums. I like my piano and drums. Tell everybody you know about my piano and drums. OK Bye.

[;) thx]

[Just Standard Trance]

Sweet spot

This kind of hits a sweet spot for me in a way since it makes me feel like dancing actually with some glow sticks all night long. This song just makes you feel happy and dance like but it also makes me feel sad and remember the past which I still keep trying to put behind me but I just can't seem to do it.

The drums, wah phaser, and the synths make this just sound completely off the hook and pretty sexy as well. This is one of the cooler trance songs I have heard on Newgrounds and I really do have to say, I am rather enjoying it. Kudos to you on a great piece of work and enjyoing the process of making a great dance piece.

Hey dude thanks

Sorry about making you remember the past like that but just remember that it's behind you and there's tons of opportunities ahead.

Remember that when you say 'no' to one thing you're saying 'yes' to something else :) Say it's saying "no" to the past, but saying "yes" to a better future :3

Thanks for enjoying my song too. We can share the head-bobbing together (I never been to clubs or raves or anything but I still love this music ;))
