NekoMika's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Times' Only Moment]

Relaxing

Well I do have to say this is a rather relaxing piece of yours. It also reminds me of Final Fantasy VIII here too. The guitar play is just real soft and I like the little after echo effect it seems to carry on as well. Seems to sound very nice for a short jam piece.

gamejunkie responds:

Thank you very much. The little after echo effect is just the guitar, because its a seriously good quality guitar. It will ring for over a minute. Not a cheap guitar!!

Cheers gamejunkie.

[Rag-Tag World]

Funky

I feel that this one sounds really neat anyways. Kind of makes you think of some older video game themes too. Kind of reminds me of some bands and the TMNT as well. The riff is quite tasty though, good work there.

The guitar sounds quite amazing and nothing short of greatness. The bass is also very good sounding and clean as well as well as helping keep a back rhythm for the guitar. The drums kind of make me think of an SNES on this one actually, not bad at all.

Overall, cool jam session.

gamejunkie responds:

Thanks again for your kind words, much appreciated. Cheers gamejunkie.

[Opening Jam]

Cool

Kind of reminds me of the opening to Beavis and Butthead actually. Not bad, not bad at all. I find that to be mildly entertaining as well. I see you added everything to this song as we;; which is great to see.

The guitar sounds great and I like how it mostly a solo for the whole song as well. I think for the hammer-on area though instead of plucking the string before doing it that you could have quickly turned up the guitar a tad bit and just had your other two fingers constantly going on and off the notes without stopping since it sounds a tiny bit better, still cool though.

The bass sounds very smooth here and also very nice on the ears. Who was doing the bass anyways? The drums sound like generic 80s drums which is nice as well. Who did those too? Not bad for a little session.

Overall, sounds really cool.

gamejunkie responds:

The lead and bass players are friends of mine. The drum kit is actually a 1970's kit, good ear you have. Can't tell you who, my friends wish to remain anonymous. Sorry. And Thanks.

[Dream of my life]

Nice chords

Heh, really like this one since it seems really soft. I think it would sound great in a Final Fantasy game anyways since they tended to play a lot of songs similar to this on the soundtrack too. This song is just real soft and has almost a dream like feel to it as well which is cool. Also kind of sounds more like an acoustic guitar as well, neat.

Overall, another nice guitar jamming session.

gamejunkie responds:

Thanks, we do our best to please.

[Child in my arms]

Soft

Well I like the guitar play for this one since it has a very soft feel to it as long as a very light echo effect added onto it. That just makes it real pleasing and calming on the ears and helps you relax a bit I think.Parts of the guitar play make me think of the song Breezy from Final Fantasy VIII which is pretty neat.

The bass line is just as subtle and kind as the guitar is on this one. Really like how you kept it soft and together too.

Overall, very nice, calm, and relaxing guitar session.

gamejunkie responds:

Thank you. Much appreciated kind words.

[J@Ks Zoom Guitar Jam 2.1]

Fantastic

Have to say the guitar riff sounds pretty fantastic and for a moment made me think of Pokemon actually. Mostly it reminds me of some of the bands from the 90s though which is nice to hear anyways. I like the jam session you had going with this one. The riff just sounds great to me. Can't wait to hear the solos, bass, and possible drums that will be added.

Overall, great session.

gamejunkie responds:

Thank you. Hopefully the finished product will sound a lot better than how it is now. Thanks for the review.

[Megaman III Password Screen]

Let's Go!

Well I think one of the draw backs of the Mega Man series aside from being too fun is that game along with several other games to date never gave checkpoints but made you memorize passwords instead. If you didn't know them you were in for a long day of redoing many levels.

The bass line here sounds very wet and very smooth as well so I enjoy seeing that going as it is. The synth sounds pretty much like a pop piece but also very happy as well making the beat enjoyable.

Overall, nice remake.

Jordach responds:

Cheers SCTE3! :D

Irony is, the tune is happy, yet for a password screen and game over, seems a bit odd, so, a mix of dark and light.

[DJ B1K - [SMB] Underground Rmx]

Basic and interesting

Really like how well it works as a loop. It also sounds quite interesting and reminds you of those blue goombas that were later dubbed as gloombas oddly enough. This is still a pretty sweet remix though, I like it anyways.

The trance like drums are cool, wet, and nice. The bass line is kind of got a phaser effect to it and works very well too. The synth sounds very well done here and has some really nice heavy parts to it as well, I enjoyed it.

Overall, good times, good remake.

B1KMusic responds:

you again ^_^

Thanks for the 9 and the input, I appreciate it :D

[COH - Fire Fortress]

Castles

Well it does have a castle atmosphere and tone to it which kind of builds up the setting even further. You walk around as a ninja knight who guards the princess/prince from outside harm and enemies. You soon begin working for a darker lord... maybe Ganondorf?

The bass line and drums seem to work together to create a very dark area feel here as they make the person feel most likely unwelcome at the castle lest they be a knight themself with a message for the king. The ambient trumpet and piano notes add even more to the dark atmosphere.

Overall, nice castle theme, would work well in a dark castle like level in a game.

Ironclover responds:

I'm really happy it came out so good, It would work mainly as a castle theme, but it's ment for a Firey Atmosphere :D Thank you as always for your reviews :D
