Xela89's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Roll Tape]

Great stuff

The intro is original and contains a large portion of mazzin. The drum beat works very well with the arpegiated synths and the fat chords that come in add weight and variation to an already fantastic arrangement.

Morphboy responds:

Cheers Alex. :3

[TheSmartSteamMachine(DjPaRa)]

Definately creates an atmosphere

Very punchy synths. A bit too punchy for my liking - was slightly painful through headphones actually lol.

Seemed very dissonant. Was this your intention? Is it bitonal or atonal or something along those lines?

Interesting sound effects and ambient noises. They are the strongest element of this song in my opinion.

Cheers,

yeah it's supposed to be a well...smart steam machine. Out dated but aware if its self (and the fact it's out dated). not my best work though, but i'm proud of some of the voicing.

[Eternal Thing]

well if it isn't arnas barauskiene (only joking xD

:O

When did you start making music, Arnas?! I've listened to a few of your songs...I thought I'd comment on this one cos I like it quite a lot. Kind of peaceful but with the fast drum line. The chipmunk voice nearly made me crack up laughing the first time I heard it - really wasn't expecting it :D

Your techno stuff is really good as well. Does Lukas make music too? Comment on my loop I just uploaded please. No one else is lol. I've also been making electronic music for a few years now. I made an album a little while ago. What program do you use by the way?

I haven't seen you for years. :/ I've missed the kissel,

Alex

Arnas responds:

Yeah hows it going?

[unholy doom]

Very interesting

Really progressive! Good use of rhythm throughout. The harmonies are also quite inventive in places, so nice work there. Although not particularly long, this is a good effort.

Things perhaps to improve upon in the future is balance and general mixing. The drums seem to be too low in the mix really. It sort of takes away from the energy slightly. But I'm presuming you've used MIDI instruments? If so I know it can be tricky to mix them for realism and "punch". But considering the instrument patches used, you've put them to very good use.

Hope this was helpful... I know it can be frustrating to not get reviewed on your work. Keep it up.

i will keep that in mind

[The Climax]

Well...

...if this is a new leap in the mininalist movement that combines different tempos then well done!

Otherwise I agree with the last review...

Well, I guess everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon with this one, wonder why everyone else hasn't said my other songs are not in sinc. -mrStrike
