Celx-Requin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lost Entity (Dance Remix)]

Solid, but not something I would dance to.

I think the music was well executed,
but it did not carry enough "pulse" to dance to.

Felt more like an inspired piece from a videogame, in fact segments remind me of
the final fight music from donkey kong on the Super Nintendo...

The finale was downright awesome!

Thanks,

DJ-Chilvan responds:

I'm glad you liked the finale! I thought it was pretty epic too!

Thnx!

[Messy robot Repair]

I concur...

It does carry a 80's video game beat,
sounds like something out of sonic.

The beats, and "snaps" are really what makes this piece come together.
The only flaw I could think of was it doesn't have a strong build up, or ending.

Aside from that it was awesome!
Thanks,

Thanks! Lots of love

[Broken out of a Window]

Cool Beat.

Hello,

I dug this,
It had a nice variety of sounds, put together in a complex, yet elegant way.
A nice mixture of beats rounded out this piece.

It's pretty catchy, although the mixture between fast and slow beats
works in your favor at times, it also works against you at other times.

It's a unique piece I'll give you that, and because of that I'm awarding you a 8.

Thanks,

PizzaBox responds:

Originality strikes again!

[The Deep Blue]

Certainly did capture the feel you were going for.

I mean your use of sounds did make this piece feel aquatic.
It kind of reminded me of the music used in the movie "the life aquatic"
which is great, and you should be proud.

Unfortunately the replay value isn't much, since after listening to this a couple of times it starts to get tedious. I guess I could compare it to "ride music" at a theme park.

It's alright as long as you're just a tourist taking the ride once, but I imagine the guy operating the ride would want to kiss the end of a shotgun after a while.

Sincerely,

PuffballsUnited responds:

Yeah, my songs tend to be a bit repetitive sometimes.

Annoying...

The beginning is enough to turn most people off.
after a while it does pick up a bit, but overall it just feels like a garbled mess.

I really could not fathom why you made some of the choices you did, specifically those mini beats at the start of the song.

Somewhere near the middle there was a point where the sound flowed well,
too bad it was so short lived.

Sincerely,

[AF - Inner Space]

A little generic...

Hello,

I don't know it was pretty cool,
but frankly it felt kind of similar to a lot of other stuff of the same genre on the portal.

There isn't anything wrong with it, it all feels right. The thing is it isn't exactly unique either. You have some cool powerful beats which work in your favor.
But aside from that it felt somewhat bland.

Again it's not bad at all, and I'm sure people will dig it,
only I wish it had more "flair".

Thanks,
- Celx

aliaspharow responds:

Yeah, you are kinda right about it sounding alot like alot of other songs on newgrounds. But i kinda did it on purpose this way because i actually made it for a friend and he told me to check out the techno section and work around that!

[Something's Missing]

Why did you do it?!

Hello,

I came so close to handing out a perfect 10, I really did...
The music was so perfect, it had a such a magnificent build up.

With a flawless integration of a vast variety of sounds,
yet it all was done very organically, & felt truly epic...

Until that scream/yell happened, it was so unexpected, random, & out of place.

Had you not included that I think I would have handled out my first 10 for a song on the portal.

Sincerely

Sorry ): Some people seem to like them though O:

Thanks for your review!

[Brittle Nature (WIP)]

A wonderful tangent...

Hello,

I liked this, it had a very unique 80's sound.
It could almost qualify as ambient, but it has a kind of "pulse" to it.

It's very difficult to classify, and not exactly something you can rock out to,
but it's certainly something enjoyable to listen to.

A eclectic cocktail of sounds, provokes a variety of visions...
Not sure what else there is to say, except good job?

Kirbyfemur responds:

Howdy.

I kind of try to write music that's a bit strange since both the Audio Portal and general music is to full of the same stuff. So Wanted to try and be a bit different and give people lots to listen to rather than a simple one time listen and enjoy piece.

Anyways I've got a newer version out now, if you want check it out, i wont force you. =3

[HouseTrance [Box-Killa]]

Nice beat... However dies near the end

Hello,

I liked your use of dynamic sounds, and the music had a real pulse to it...
Which I enjoyed, however when the music "slowed down" near the middle I felt it hurt the piece.

The second half didn't compliment the prior half well, to be more specific there wasn't a good transition in the change of pace of the song. Which made the music seem uneven to me.

Still it wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as I felt it could have been.

You do have some serious music skills,
so I'll look forward to hearing some of you other stuff.

Sincerely,
- Celx

[-)S(- Live Out Loud!]

ULTRA HYPER...

I didn't really like the beginning that much,
but I must say I really enjoyed the mix of tunes, and play of sounds, as the music progressed.

I heard a couple of "techno" pieces before,
and this sound similar yet feels a little more unique, or polished.

I'm not sure it's that universal but your target audience certainly will dig it!
At least I did.

I can't be too critical, I enjoyed it although some parts just didn't feel perfect to me,
I'm not sure why...

Awesome job!

Glad you liked it, despite the genre! Thanks for the review.
