Kingbastard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hidden Art Gallery]

ha!...

this is almost like the Velvet underground, get some lou reed esque vox on it and you're sorted:D
some nice guitaring moments

[Space Glider]

nice

NIce retro electro sound to it, would have liked to have heard some nice lo-fi beats, old NES style beats, glitched up over this would sound cracking.

goog job man.

Dark-Frando responds:

My first loop on here had a sort of an 8-bit sound to it. Although I do make the songs with retro games in mind, I also like to add a sort of more modern feel to them. I'm just not so sure how my way of mixing old with new will really work so I'll work a bit more to my music experience and maybe try it later when I have more confidence in my work ^_^

Thanks for the review as well =D

[Orbital Reflection +]

liked it...

...which is suprising as i dont really have any time for Trance usually, but this is really well put together. the organ-like distorted riff is a little piercing though, too high in the mix imo. nice slowdown at the end.

EchozAurora responds:

thanks for stopping by, ya bastard..

I'll have to make sure to stop by and take a listen of your newer stuff and shoot ya a review back.

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the review!

(And yeah.. I think the triple octave jump was a bit much in retrospect, I'll have to keep that in mind in the future)

[SexuallyTransmittedInteligence]

nice tune man

really nice flow to this trk, has some very good moments throughout.

[bringing saxy back (final]

great + :)

like the little subtle messes, the afx style slow down glitches are great. Just adds to what is a great tune.

"great + :)"

[{Surreal}]

nice

got to agree with the last review. The beats are too in the background, infact the whole track needs a tweak produciton-wise to make it more in your face. A nice trk, but lacking punch!

[[town meeting]]

Nice Panning

nice panning at the start. Beefy cut into the main tune, heavy but not intrusive. The slow amen break is a bit overused and could do with being spruced up a bit imo.
The trk doesn't really do much and is reliant on the the rezzy growing synths that get a little tedious after a while. Could do with some extra sections to the trk, but generally a good listen imo.

melancholy

really nice melancholy trk, simple but effective, a little quiet though.

MJTTOMB responds:

Thanks man, I'll try and fix the volume issues sometime soon.

[DSZ - Cyanide [DEMO]]

Good stuff.

good production to it, nice swirly synths and rezzy bassline. Beats are a little basic, but then that 's the idea with this genre. A full tune with some nice elements, not my cup of tea musically at all, but I can appreciate the composition and execution.
Good stuff.

Distortzion responds:

Many thanks ^^

Geeeeeenius

this should be given a 5 simply for the great sax and clarinet work, sounds awesome, the trk develops really well, everything compliments one another, I think this is quality music and is wasted on a site like this, the guitaring and flow from one sound/style to another is immaculate, the vocal/end cresc is simply brilliant and just makes me wonder if I could ever write anything as good.
This trk kept my interest all the way through, it interchanges from electro, to chill, to acoustic, to almost african style and, for want of a better description, 'your style'.
Honestly brilliant, why on gods green ass aren't you signed and releasing cds?
downloaded and of course 5'd.

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

well, glad you enjoyed it sir. This is the first proper track i've done since my computer died and had to work with a stripped back set-up, perhaps what you told me was right...
Am working on a sooped up version that i'll send your way when it's done but after reading this review maybe it's better left alone.
'...just makes me wonder if I could ever write anything as good.' hmm, somehow i think you already doos, i much prefer your stuff to mine but ain't that just the fuckin way she goes?
as for getting stuff released i intend to work a demo around this track and start looking for some1 to put it out.
anyways, thanks for the words of encouragement and the image of gods green ass.
ciao
