Azhthar's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ira de Deus Mechanicus]

Ok just wow here!

[Rainfall]

Ahhh I thought your last track was your submission for this round, but it was for the auditions.
Okay... That what definitely unexpected, due to the other stuff I heard from you guys before. I just listened to the track and all the time I was waiting for a circusaccordeon or something to start. Then at about 3 mins the chromatic prog and afterwards indeed the accordeon ;) Actually I was a bit confused so I had to listen to it again. Nice text and voice performance and the music creates a nice relaxing atmosphere. All in all a well rounded piece but maybe it´s sometimes just a tiny, tiny, little bit too heavenly for me ;)

ZipZipper responds:

If we make it (...) we may go back to the carnival.

[Boy With No Eyes Off-vocal]

The tracks on this EP are just incredible! Ok here the voice is missing but I understand why you did this ;) I guess I´m going to buy the EP and I already added the Oliver plugin on my "want to have list" because I already was looking for something like this since a year or something...

[Focus]

This track just makes happy ;) It´s chilly and I definetely like the jazzy parts. I can really hear how much effort you put in this track, especially on the melodies and countermelodies. Also I think you improved a lot here since the last track I heard from you! Good work. Actually I think the track would improve a lot if you could use some better samples. But I don´think this is a reason to jude on a track so I give a five. I really wonder how the judges will judge on the completely different stiles of music in our group ;) Anyway, good luck here!

Nimble responds:

Thanks man, I'm glad you appreciate the piece! with a group as mixed as ours I can't wait for all of our tracks to be out. Good luck to yourself :)

[Infinite]

Again another awesome track here. There are so many cool tracks in this competition. Really fun to listen to this. To be honest I´m a big fan of twisted, creepy fun music. Catchy beat and the harmonies for the eerie atmosphere are really nice. I could not find anything bad here. Maybe the main theme was repeated a bit to often but since it´s really cool that didn´t bother me ;) Good luck with that!

AeronMusic responds:

Yeah the main theme is quite repetitive, I tried to change it but the change didn't work so well. So I kept the main theme in the second part. Although, thanks for your nice comment! (:

[Feisty Heisty]

Dude after listening to some music by you I just can say your awesome!!!

[The Abyss]

Awesome track! Really nice dark atmosphere here. Cool orchestration and nice harmonies. Also nice orchestra samples you got here. This will be hard to beat. But since I heard your other stuff I did not expect anything different. The only thing which I found a bit irritating is the ending. Sounds like some more stuff will come but then it ends...

DamienFleisch responds:

Thanks :) Those EastWest Hollywood samples never fail (todevoureveryounceofmyramandprocessor). You're right, though, that I do tend to gravitate to darker music, so I'll just have to mix it up if I make it to next round!

[Voodoo Island Theme]

Cool! I listened to this for about 15 minutes in the background until I realised it was looped. It evokes a really nice atmosphere and is very groovy. The only things I realised after a few times is that, the brass is sounding a bit too much like midi and the piano is a bit to tough quantised and thus sounds a bit mechanical. But I shouldn´t complain about this because I often have the same problem ;) Keep up the nice work!

[Sojourn]

That´s nice and dreamy... I could listen to this the whole day during work. You really caught the impressionistic feeling here! Keep up the nice work!
