Riversand's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Antar: SOS]

SOS Recieved.

Very well done. Good effects on the lines, however, a few mistakes here and there. Quite faithful to the comic. Came here from there.

My favorite part of your recording, is 'Gods I'm losing it...'

Respect to the quality.

Zenzio responds:

Yeah, I went partially on memory since I had to continue going back and fourth between the program I used to record, and the comic. My microphone was picking up my mouse clicks, so I tried to limit how much I went back to it.

And thanks for leaving a review, it means a lot to hear from my listeners.

[A Tribute to Dreamers]

Brings these dreams to life.

beautiful, my friend... deep and powerful. A painfully true song... one has to bring dreams to life, despite everything around.

I am glad i spotted this, unique title on the side. This is a song that deserves front-page.

This just beings tears to my eyes, it's so magnificent. Not a single thing i can complain about.

Respect.

ThunderHorseL responds:

:D Thank you very much! Cheers!

[Run to Japan]

I might be weird but,

This song makes me feel like i'm getting ready to ride on an ultra-light fast mech, powering it up, before going all out running, getting to another area. I was even feeling the motion of the cabin in my mind. an impressive work indeed.

[Robot Hunter]

Solid!

This is a very good piece of work.

It has a good edge, but not too sharp. Good buzz to the electric instruments, including the synth. The overall form and shape have good energy to them both, while keeping things interesting, yet predictable. a good thing for me.

This has a bit of a Megaman X fell to it, a good thing to me. defiantly a good game track.

joethesouleater responds:

thanks, i like actual reviews lol

[8-bit runner]

ouch.

A good try here, but a bit painful to hear.

The loop is sharp, Very sharp on the ears. I would pull the tone down an octave personally. The sound also has a brief stop before it loops, may want to clean that one up. I would love to hear this one refined.

And as for how short it is, loops don't need to be long to be good.

I look forward to seeing your skill improve. The beat is good, and the structure is good. Only tone down the lead instrument, maybe drop it's volume a little, to let the other instrument breath so to speak.

Wildfiredragons responds:

yah this wasnt the best loop i did. i'm thinkin of redoing this but more longer n energetic =D and thank you for your review. its always good to see what others think of your work good or bad =]

[Good Morning {durn}]

toe-tappin'

This is a very good melody you made here, the song is excellent, and fun to listen to.

Overall, it has a good flow, with the occasional stops to mix things up, with a progression through different instruments, while keeping a robust pattern as the focus. The song also has a decent structure at start and end for looping several times.

I basically feel like i'm in a beachside shack, laying in a beach-type chair, you knopw, the one you lounge in, tapping my toes as i relax in the shade.

Thanks for the message about this. 5/5 10/10

durn responds:

Ahhh, yeah. :) I do love the beach. The warm weather and nice locations have definitely been of influence on this tune. Glad it's helpin' ya lounge about! :D

Thanks for the excellent review, Riversand! :)

[Yoshi's Island Cave Remix]

Pretty good.

There are very few versions of the cave from yoshi's island, and this is the best version i can find anywhere, that i fond pleasing to my ears.

It captures the feel of the caves, their background mainly, the cool water running over strong formations of crystal, i would actualyl sit there and let the music just play.

I do however find that this song is in need of a better end, due to the abruptness, and this should be jmore easily loopable.

5/5 9/10

[Our World {durn}]

This is 'Our World' indeed!

This piece of music just moves me, it's got a good base that i can feel from my toes to the top of my head. Absolutely spectacular. The song gives me a mental image of someone being a head DJ, in a suppressed world, where freedom is near non-existent, but this song, sets them free, and starts a revolution for freedom, saying that this is indeed 'our world'. it's got a very upbeat strength to it. I've been looking for songs of high caliber, and I've found one here.

The song also loops quite nicely, fades in and out fluidly to itself.

durn responds:

:) Thanks Riversand! You basically described the Daft Punk movie, man. :D lol, and they're a definite influence of mine, so that's pretty cool. :d

If you haven't seen it, go watch it here. It's amazing. :)

[==(Cloudclimber)==]

Sky-whales

An absolutely beautiful work of art. It speaks right to my mind's eye, showing me a world of beauty. I'm sitting on the top of a cloud, legs crossed, a sleek tail in my lap, and then, i hear the great sky-whales, flying nearby, and i take to the skies myself, spreading my own wings and soar, a bandage left behind.

Truly beautiful work SBB, you are a master of speaking to the mind's eye through music.

[Chillin With Chill Penguin]

MAVRICKS!

This song actualyl puts me in the helmet of a mavrick hunter, one that i had come up with a long time ago, as a sort of fan character. I was rushing trough the Snow, boosting, and climbing walls, and shooting mavricks into piles of scrap-metal.
