LLAAPPSSEE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Voices]

Last night

I was listening to this last night at work. I really like this. The voices are fantastic. What are they from? The beat, although repetative. Is just mastered so nicely that i really do not mind listening to it at all with little change. Although a small glitch here and there would be awesome : D

I really appreciate the trickling synths and the backing of the vocals which makes the drums so nice to listen to. The atmosphere is intense as hell. Especially when those rapid fire hats come in, man. Totally awesome. Then you drop the bomb. I really liked it. However, i think it could use a bit of mastering? Compress it down a bit, it just doesnt mirror the clear sounds of the beginning. You may've wanted that though. Damn though, it really does create some intense shit. Its a wild right from start to finish for sure.

I thought about a remix for this while sitting at work! : D

[The Dunes]

I've already told you:

But, i really enjoy this one. Its crisp, clean, clear. I love it. Its a real treat on the ears, man. I love that beat repeat on the kick of course. It's mastered so nicely that you could probably just change out all the drums and use the kick only XD. The synths you just have mastered. You've got beautiful melodies that speak of vacancy.

Very nice atmosphere. I really can imagine myself standing a top some Dunes. Maybe even envision one of those mighty sand worms from THEE movie Dune. De' spice! De' spiceee!!

[FYDF [Wrath of Con Remix]]

Yay

Heh heh. You've already been praised by me.

[Just Awesome]

[These mistakes (Remastered)]

Even better than before..

But naturally, I'm sure you expected to hear that title for a review.

Awesome - again.

[Maybe Maybe Not]

Awesome

I really dig this. I love the sound you've got on your glitches, the whole atmosphere and everything. The little noises in the deep pads. The way you glitch out some of your drums (mainly at the beginning when the drums first came in) reminds me of a band called "Boom Boom Satellites" (who i really dig). So very cool. When the keys came in i was digging it more, i liked the melody you had with them, very nice. the quick notes are great. It all sounds wonderful. My only problem is some of the pad create a lot of reverb (When those lovely keys come in) and wash out a bit of the sounds. I think a if you toned it down a bit it would sound even greater! Then again, with all the reverb and bass it creates a pretty nice space. I just wonder if the drums would come out a bit more and such. Maybe even widen up the pads or something..either or not bad at all as it is though, very pleasant track, definitely enjoyed ! !

John-Gaden responds:

Thanks a lot. It's great to get some positive reviews from really talented musicians like yourself.

One of my poor habits is while creating a big spacey wall of sound I tend to over do it and a lot of things get buried. It's something I'm working on and as my mastering skills improve I should slowly grow out of it.

[Ghosts [Preview]]

Preview?!

I want the full, let me know when its posted!

the wait for the drums was so worth it. Really awesome. Had an IDM flair to it. Which i highly appreciate. Very interesting drums. I cant believe your only 16. Not that age matters, but, damn man, you keep making music and your going to only get better than what you are now, which is amazing. Very cool. I cant wait to see where the track goes. It even works well as a loop (i'm sure that was intended?)

I need to get me some kick drums like you've got. Those hard hitting kicks is what i neeed. I like the minmal use of the amen break here and there, the clicking hat rhythm is lovely.

awesome man.

[[a.]Blue Sunshine]

Damn..

Not much of a trance listener, but damn. This is hot stuff. That bass is just killer. I WANT THAT KICK DRUM NAOW, MOAR! Haha.

Very cool, i'm really glad there's no euro-synth throughout the entirety of the track. heh heh heh. When the keys came in. I was all about. The mastering is great, everything is very clear and sounds great to the ears. I really liked the changes. Kept things interesting. Not just a four on the floor track. Which i appreciate. I wouldnt expect less from you though : P

Will have to go check out Nish's version as well. Very cool man. Can tell you put some time and effort into this.

Rawrthaas responds:

Thanks :D

I think you're the first to ever compliment my mastering haha :P

[Harsh Uncaring Bat Country]

Awesome

I just love the people who cant grasp this style of beats.
I do glitches as well. Should check it out some time : D

Well done. Very cool. Excellent assortment of atmospheric sounds, liked the way it came to an end.

[(NUBLX)ChipBrittlePreview]

you're a tease..you bastard!

Niiiiiice man, that heavy bass in there is just great. I've been doing a lot of work lately trying to get really good bass atmosphere, it really adds another element to tracks. It really does. This is just great. I want to hear the whole thing! : (

And just for being a tease your only getting a 9 : P

XD

Mwha-hahaha!

nubbinownz responds:

OH NOES! Aloysius :( lol i get it! It'll be coming out on myspace, unfortunately I can't make any of my new tracks downloadable :(

[Skybridge]

Nice

Finally someone in this fucking place who actually take the time to put a little bit of god damn reverb, atmosphere, space, velocity.,.blah blah blah into their piano stuff. Also, i liked the very small bits you have in there..the very light percussion, i really thought that was a fantastic touch, just very light, a small barely audible pulse to drive, i might even almost turn up the hats just a bit more.. The composition of the piano, and the playing, and arrangement was great. The fact that you looped it was even more cool.

the change at :59 i think was the best..i liked that.

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

Thanks, wait till you see how I used this song in the game it's for. It blows minds and just a flat recording of the song doesn't do it justice.
