Thetageist's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ahh]

You’ve got a song called “Ahh”? I’ve got a song called “AAH”! I’ve gotta take a look at this one!

I love the instrumentation, but I agree with @Dynamic0 - it could benefit from a melody being introduced somewhere in the buildup. I also expected the buildup to lead somewhere, like a bass drop type of thing followed by a more intense section. Since this is an experimental track, I get that you didn’t quite know where it was going, but I think it’s got potential and you should definitely revisit it!

Yeah..I don't know how to make beat drops...I didn't know that I was a making a buildup, I'm kinda new to making music, maybe this does have some potential! The problem is, this was made in Beepbox, and when you save a file, I can't really get it back to add something to the saved song, but, oh well.

[Work in progress (Now changed.)]

Definitely still a work in progress, but you’ve got a good sense of rhythm! I’d suggest you modify the EQ (probably take down the treble) and mixing to have a less grating sound before you begin, though.

seeko29 responds:

Okay then, thanks for the review, mate!

[Blockade Runner Theme]

Definitely captures both the intensity and the weirdly nostalgic feel of the game for earlier Flash. If what I’m saying makes any sense?

[White Knuckle]

This is an absolute banger, no pun intended! (Get it... industrial percussion goes bang?)

The more I listen to your stuff, the more I appreciate how driving and intense it is. I love that kind of music! This is definitely a boss fight and I love it.

[Lost And Found]

Love the percussion! Feels decently chill. Could work as a background track to a game.

[Death Around]

Seems to be a little trouble keeping time in some parts, but that’s not really that noticeable.

Love the riffs and the structure as a whole!

[Together]

Not bad! I feel like it needs a little bit more variation in texture - a lot of times, the instruments are all playing the same thing. More variation in the background would probably make it feel less repetitive. The mixing also keeps the voice line from being heard properly, so I couldn’t really tell what it said. Certainly has a good choice of instruments and other sounds, though!

[Funeral]

Favorite song on the entire Cosmic Quadruple-Dutch OST. I love how the intro ramps up into the techno beat and the different melodies that come into play.

[Just a regular Magnet]

Pretty good compositionally and harmonically! I think the simple sound with only a few instruments going at once makes sense for the minimalist graphics and game design.
