Kingbastard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Running From The Devil]

Not bad........

...Sounds like you've glued a lot of samples together that dont quite fit. It has a certain charm to it in places, and some nice touches but overall it sounds messy and lacks any direction. The main drum loop that runs throughout would sound better dry, without the effect. I like the sliced sound that comes in towards the end of the trk, but it's a case of too little to late for me i'm afraid. I think u need to choose your samples more carefully, instead of using things that happen to be at the same bpm. Sorry if u think i'm being a little harsh, but i'm just tryin to give some friendly advice:)

TVs-Slayer responds:

Yeah, I actually agree with most of what you said. The song got hacked into three different pieces for the chase scene, and its supposed to go all over the place without any real purpose. This is just the long version. Thats my excuse anyway. This really isn't very good as a stand alone song, but thought I'd throw it out here for public consumption and ridicule. Thanks for the review and better than I hoped for score.

[KiM aNtHeM (Me!!)]

Smooth....8.5.....

....this tune is nice and mellow. I like the flanger sounds and the drums roll along nicely. Smooth chord progression, albeit a simple one. Thing I like the most is the almost Out of tune bassline which doesn't sound like it should fit, but it does! My only critisism is that not enough happens throughout the track, but I think it would work really well as a backing for a flash game. Nice stuff.

Lova-Gurl responds:

I know i tried puttin other stuff in it but it didn't sound right so it kinda sounds empty. But anyway thanks for the review!

[Misching in Masch (fixed)]

Gentle.

Nice mellow and soothing song. Not much happens, but it doesn't really have to get the point across, chill!

[ßosa]

Sweet.

Those are some awesome Big Beat drums! Like the weird chanting, mantra style monks in the background as well. Solid tune! Check out my new trk GhostTrain and see what u think.

Bosa responds:

This is what I've been working on for the past few days. Yes, I could say this is my best work. Thanks for the review. I'm forwarding to GhostTrain. Still more to come!

Your friend, ßosa

[DJ Runaway - Radio]

Nice Bassline....

Yo, hows tricks man? Well now, this is rock and it isn't! It a strange kinda techy-rock hybrid. I like the bass a lot, and the drums are good. It would be interesting to hear some vocals over the top of this tune. Check out my new tune GhostTrain, and gimme a good vote cos some bastard has already voted 0 on it. It doesn't deserve a 2.5, I think it's pretty good. This could be a whole new direction for you, the production is amazing and with some real guitar and vox thrown into the mix it would help give the tune a 'live' quality. Nice.

DJRunaway responds:

:D :) Hehe, I'll contact you on MSN, with vocals this could be cool :D
Thnx :)

Greetz,

[Slug death]

I like it....

You've created a really nice dreamy feel with this tune and I like the chord changes a lot. The ambient sound fx in the background work really well and aid the whole atmosphere of the tune. I would really like to hear some vocals added to make this tune the finished product. Really good.

[Human Stew]

Needs work...

....some really nice elements in this tune, which is verging on the experimental/AphexTwin style of Hip-Hop, with those strange voices and stop-starts. The sounds used are nice and retro-lo-fi, but they really don't sound cool enough! I know that's an annoying thing to say, but for this type of tune u have to make it sound cooler and weirder than anything else that has passed before. Have a listen to some Prefuse73 stuff, as I think it will add direction to your tunes. I think it's great, and nice and experimental, it's just that i have heard so many things that are more comprehensive than this tune. It's good, but fuck with it more!

Mister-Twitch responds:

Thanks a lot, the audio reviews are beter than the portal reviews (go figure). I'm using Live on a tiny CPU so every time I have too many MIDI inputs. I'm working on it, don't fret.

[Mellow Yellow Jello Hello]

yep...

...there's definately a BOC thing goin on here but it's a little to strightforward and repetetive for my liking. That's not to say that it isn't nicely chilled and ambient, but it could do with a lot more adding to it.
Check out my tune Sadmachine as I think u might like it. kB

CRISPY-D responds:
