Kingbastard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rucklo - Second Thoughts]

I have to give u 10.......

......just because I am aware of the work u put into this and also because I think it's a really cool track. U have definately created a dark, moody atmosphere with a healthy dose of Fx and smooth pad textures/layers. This is fast becoming my favourite track of yours to date, mainly due to the fact that it's more experimental than previous tracks of yours. I have listened to the ones that made it into the top 5 and with the exception of DJRunaway they pretty much suck. Just goes to show, timing isn't everything when submitting to the Portal! All I can say is that I hope more people pick up on this track and give it the high vote it deserves. Great stuff man.
utfodra upp tull gott verka! Or sumthing like that!!!:)

Rucklo responds:

Yeah, I too hope more ppl hear this stuff, not many DL´s up to date :(
But hey, I had fun making this song, learned a couple o´things, and it looks like atleast a few ppl liked it too!
The top 5 list IS a joke many times, though DJRunaway REALLY deserves the 1:st place. He´s on a freaking killinspree last two weeks :D
I intend making more experimental tracks, it´s more fun, I like it more, and it´s more educative :D

"utfodra upp tull gott verka!" means something like;
"feed up joking/bullshitting(or toll) good "work"!" :D
Thanx a 1000 for the review, man, I´m of reviewing and listening to your song "SadMachine.". And I strongly suggest everyone who read this do the sam thing. Kingbastard is his name, and I thank U for your review!

[Drive The Soul]

Smooth

You should consider developing some of your loops into full tracks, as lots of them are good platforms from which to start. This is smooth and chilled, and I like the clicky drums and low thud of the kick.

[Tetric Mansion]

SNES...

...Sounds like a theme tune to a good ol SNES game. Nice stuff.

ClaudeVercetti responds:

Yeah, you're right, this is like a good snes tune. Thank's for your review :p, it helps me to make more of my music.

[RGH: The Poke(All Bets R Off)]

yep....

....sounds perfect for and RPG game backing music. Something like FinalFantasy. It has a nice slow build and the mood you have created is nice and atmospheric. I only give this 8/10 cos it isn't my cup of tea musically speaking. But Flash users/creaters/artists will lap it up. Good stuff.

RyeGuyHead responds:

hint hint....

[DJ Runaway - Runaway]

Crisp and smooth.

This is a very well arranged and produced track. Perfect use of sounds and instruments for this genre of music. It is exactly as u describe, relaxed yet dancy. I can picture a club full of people off there heads on various substances doin a jumping, head swaying, hands in the air, throwing shapes kinda dance! Really great trk, i'm downloading it to my I-tunes now.

DJRunaway responds:

Wow, that's such a compliment, the big Weeksy puttin my music on this Itunes :) Thanks m8! Keep up tha good shit :)

Greetz,
DJ Runaway

[Dropping like flies]

It's good, but....

...I have heard a lot of similar things in the Portal. There's some nice ideas in there but I don't particularly like the style of the tune. Just not my bag i'm afraid. I prefer your more experimental tracks.(do more of them!!):)

crud responds:

it's alright, the song wasn't exactly primo stuff. but it was finished, so i submitted it. now this is the only place it exists, my stuff was deleted by the administrator dammit. dont expect any music too soon.
sorry.

[Broken TV (Ithax' song)]

nice......

Is that actually u playing the guitar or are those samples from somewhere? If they are samples then i've been too generous, if it your stuff I haven't been generous enuff!! Still, what the hey, it's a nice sounding tune apart from the overly loud swoosh sound at the end.

Ithax responds:

Unfortunately that is not me playing the guitar... though I have plans to have a band make it into an actual recorded version soon. Oh and that swoosh sound... yeah I'm going to get rid of that...

[Low Batteries & Far From]

Droid Heaven!

Nice use of sounds and textures to create a gentle and flowing tune. It conjours up the image of a droids passage to Droid Heaven, as it floats through showers of silicon chips and motherboards, until finally resting on a bed of brand new batteries! Nice job.

Slug-Salt responds:

Thank you king that is so awesome, I always enjoy your reviews.

[Bags]

Nice!!....

This is a well written, well played, well sung and well recorded song. Nice job.

OfficerHairdo responds:

Thanks for the comment. I put this up a couple days ago to commemorate starting a new band. If you want to hear any other demos i might put out soon, check out www.myspace.com/djdadmcmom
I'm glad you liked it.

[DJ Runaway - Ode To A Legend +]

yo!....

....This has everything in it's right place. I can't fault the arrangement, even a key change at the end! (u know ure stuff!!) I'm checking out a couple of your flash movies at the mo, I will leave some reviews for them. Take it easy. kB

DJRunaway responds:

Thanks :) I'm almost done with the "King Bastard" remix :D Love your work, love your reviews and keep smokin' that green herb :)

Greetz,
DJ Runaway
