Gorillazrock's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{Impulse}]

Interesting.

Rather good job, but some of the elements feel out of place.., such as the strange effect dip at 2:00.. and the spinback at the end..

Not my cup of tea, but i'll feature it anyway ;)

Inside a schinzophrenic's mind

This just did such a good job of personifying the feelings of insanity, or that yoru entire world is collapsing in itself, it almost sent me into a hypnotic trance state. Could imagine this is what Hanibal Lecter's brain would sound like if it was translated into sound. :)

Reminded of those old DDR days...

This song is absolute breakneck, and just REALLY reminded me of some of the impossibly hard songs on Dance Dance Revolution that are just DESIGNED to give fat kids heart attacks, and truely enjoyed the remonicent feel of that...

Short, but good, and i'll take that ANYDAY over long and boring

that would be great to hear my song somewhere else than here! great you came up here!

[Casualty Theme Remix]

Quite Amazing...

Let's hope i can wake this "sleeper" of a song up. Sleeper not in an insulting sense, but sleeper in the sense that this song has a small, but satisfied following.. Something under the radar, that is quite good, but doesn't attract the public eye.

That being said.. it's VERY amazing the effects you implimented, and was a BLAST to listen to on headphones. I have always been a fan of songs that can blend various elements, but still not fall apart in the process (think like a cake that is decorated intriquately, but still retains a good overall look)

9 may seem bad, because it's not a 10, but i don' t even give paragon, evil dog, or F-777, or THOSE type of people 10's all the time.. i'm quite fruagal.. your work is right up there with them my good sir.. it's my hope all 70 of my subscribers will give you a good listen ;)

Enzer0 responds:

It's cool - You've thought out what you've said and rated the way you feel to be true. So all i can say is thanks! And hope you enjoy my other stuff too!

[Sonic 2 Oil Ocean]

Rather hypnotic

Always was a rather favorite of mine, but i like that it almost had an Indian feel to it. I swear to got, i felt like i was being hypnotized with it, in a strange way it's calming, and suggestive, but doesn't ever lose focus :)

I enjoy it very much, and is an interesting twist, not focusing the melody as much, and making the background bass riffs the prodominent sound heard.

By the way, this song will be used in Episode 36 of Newgrounds Radio Podcast (Due to come out 3/8/09)

Well thank you vary much for your reviw good sir I hope to make more song to entrance your vary soul lol and yeah sure go ahead use my song if you like :)

[In Memory Of Life]

Very Likable

I enjoy the "guitar like riffs" around 1:40

At a core level, it had some interesting piano melodies that were simple, but that simplicity helped with thier effectiveness.

[[37mm] SoundTheAlarm DEMO]

Interesting Techniques here...

I do admit you use interesting effects, and your melodies are interesting. I think what would actually make this song better, would be to slow it down, and give it a "hardstyle feel". I think slowing it down a bit would actually make it more dancable, and would give greater emphisis on the effects, prolonging them, and making them more profound.

I used a program used VirtualDJ to listen to it (Usually used for ACTUAL DJ'ing, but i find it usefull to tweak a song on the fly as well)

I put your song at 82.1 BPM (It was orginally at 92.5) in essence.. i played it ABOUT *Does math* 88.7% speed.. It had a much better sound, and it also gave it the length you were needing.

This is just my suggestion, but you are free to alter this song as you wish

[Flash Title Music]

Serves it's purpose

While I don't really think that i could take this seriously as an actual music piece, it is very well done, and would provide an excellent BGM in a variety of flash games, preferably something sci-fi, or shooter themed.

I wouldn't really consider this a serious music piece either, but I had fun with it :)

Anyway, its cool to see that it's going to be on your podcast, I will be sure to listen.
Thanks for the review.

[iR* Opus of Annihilation]

Interesting acoustial playing

I did like the simple acustical playing, but it seems the effects were just thrown in. I did get the feeling of fairly dark, but for some reason the whole thing didn't click with me.

Iranarama responds:

I do get carried away with the effects sometimes haha, i dont have an expensive program to use for my recordings, so i try to make do with what i can.

Wow, my music on Podcast!
Thank you, that sounds great.

I will most def. check it out.

Peace.

[Automated Asskicker]

Takes me back...

Man, this just screams classic fighting games on the Nintendo. For some reason, i keep getting reminded of an old WWF fighting game on the genesis. I have no idea why, but i like the variety, and you instead of following an 8-bit style like most people who produce old-style video game music, it seems you went with 16-Bit, which in my opinon was the true era of video game music.

If interested, i will most likely say good things about this song this Sunday.
