RowlandRose's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fingerprints of the Gods{]

rated / reviewed / enjoyed

I agree with duckhits that the intro made into a loop would be nice. I could see it for flash game menus. But I think the rest sounds really awesome too. The Bass at 2min in is nice. I like reading what the inspiration was for the music, thanks for writing that, I wish more artists would do that (me included). Personally I visualize the Egyptian pyramids when I hear this.

I'm really glad you sprinkled a bunch of chill breakdowns in the track. If you know what I mean.

durn responds:

Darn right the rest sounds awesome! ;) Hehehe, aye, I'm a loop maniac, it's amazing what you can do with 8 bars. Glad the inspiration was actually read for once! :D It's amazing how often people ask about stuff that's written right there in the comments. ;)

Thanks for the nice review, Rowland. Glad the breakdowns kept ya chilled. :)

[I Forgot to Remember]

I forgot to review. Oh wait

I think I can slightly hear the Tron Legacy inspiration. Very nice. I'm so excited to see that movie. Daft Punk's soundtrack for it is just NICE.

Musical-Pants responds:

In the kick is where it's most noticeable. The song really took off in a different direction like I said. And yeah, can't wait to see more Tron!

[Running Blue]

What is this?

I'm intrigued by the mix of great skill and odd sounds in your music.

[Nate's Rock Remix]

neato

Wow, those are great vocals you had to work with. And awesome guitar. I wish I could hear the original to compare.

gentlytied responds:

i believe i have it some where on my comp, if i find it ill put it up

[Your Life Is Wonderful]

NO WHY IS IM HAPPY

Yes, this is a really weird track that's kind of hard to listen to, but it's done well. Imagine a flash where the hero gets intoxicated or has some trippy dream sequence.

[Backlash - Monterrey]

Good, maybe needs a couple tweaks

Really good composition, but there are some timing issues I believe in your guitar recordings. A few notes, especially starting at 0:13, seem a little off the beat. You may want to go back and re-record some of the guitar just to get it nice and precise. I think it's worth doing because the song sounds really good otherwise.

NoirTiger responds:

I'd love to go back and tweak it but I can't. I'm not the one who did the mixing. I'm glad you think it's okay though!

[new loop]

Nice

A pretty cool loop for a menu. I would want it to loop better though, so the music sounds uninterrupted.

[An Unpleasant Dream]

Good background music

Ominous yet chill. I like.

treyhaur responds:

Glad you enjoyed it.
I checked out your stuff and as you'll find I love warbling kind of sounds :)

Thanks for the review!

[crazy little menu loop]

Wow, exactly as described

And quality too, very nice. Great little glitch noises. I envision a player select menu for a metal-slug type game.

cheesemonkeybill responds:

glad you like it!

[The Good, The Bad, The Minimal]

mintastic

Wow, this got groovy a couple minutes in! I'd say this new style you're trying is working well. So chill... I love it. I kept waiting for a big warm bass to come in, just to complete the funky feel. Flute was unexpected.

ChrisisD responds:

Thanks man! About the bass: I still tried to keep it minimal, so no fancy basslines or anything. For real minimal this actually has too many melodie :P But then there's just the funky side of me. I took it more on the st germain road (if you know who im talking about, look him up on utube) And the flute, that was just a small joke between me and a friend. And it made a good excuse for a title :P Thanks for the review!
Greets. Chris
