Celx-Requin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[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

[-)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!

Will responds:

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

[PyroSea]

Once again, except better...

Hello,

The story is more fleshed out and easier to understand.
You're actually delivery of the script is very professional, you don't ever fall into
what I call the horrible "blank", that is when you say lines flawlessly then suddenly forget a word or stutter... Being that I've done some voice acting myself, I KNOW how hard this is to pull off.

The voices suit the story well, and as I mentioned in the last review the "dynamic"
sounds were quite well done...

In conclusion, you're piece was well executed, funny, and clear.
Well done sir!

Thanks,
- Celx

Coop responds:

Thank you so much for this - I managed to break it up into manageable pieces and as a result, the voice didn't fall off too much over the time that I was working on it, as I could stop, delete and start again.

I just hope that someone bears this in mind when there's an animator wandering around that wants a voice actor to produce a piece for them to animate :P

[PyroSea SE]

Pretty solid acting...

The acting was pretty good,
I also really liked the dynamic sounds.
Needs a better ending though...

Thanks,
- Celx

Coop responds:

Perhaps try listening to the proper episode - this was the edited version that I trimmed down for the purposes of the Pirate Day contest.

[Brimming Fear]

Wow...

Hello,

You have a really cool sound,
it reminds me of the "Buggles" Cd "age of plastic".

When I get a chance I'll check out some of your other work...
Thanks,
- Celx

jdh504 responds:

Thanks for the review! I'll definitely have to get this Age of Plastic CD. I'm glad you like my sound, I really appreciate the review!
