LJCoffee's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Over the Sea--_--]

Nice track

You seem to have this sort of... pseudo-gangsta thing happening with your keys.

Not bad not bad - seems very ... soft? for you.

Ya-HA! - First review too!

I think that the piano sort of made it feel less ambient than it would have if you used something with a slightly longer attack but either way it was all good.

5/5

PERVOK responds:

First off...
HUZZAH! FIRST REVIEW! 8D

And the reason why I wrote this track in the first place, is cause i had a nose bleed, my other nostril was stuck up, i was home alone, the furnace was on, and I wanted some goddamn wildberry tea (damn good stuff, by the way).

I sat down at the piano and started plucked away, got really excited, and viola.
I made it to relax myself, so im hoping it was soft :)

Hmm....longer attack on the piano? I think ill give that a try.

Thanks for the review, man! Always appreciated :D

[Desert's Oasis--_--]

hmmm.

Gotta say, I didn't particularly care for this one - still not too bad but something about it just didn't seem like it was up to par with your other recent works.

Sorry if the 7 hurts the overall score, don't be too mad at me for it.

Maybe it was the synths... Don't know...

Oh well... Still pretty damn nice and I'm still going to vote 5 on it because at this point I couldn't vote any less for your tracks unless you submitted a total piece of shit :D

take it easy man.

PERVOK responds:

lol, thanks for reviewing it.
I thought it'd go nice in a desert flash or somethin.

I'm thanks ful that you at least took the time to review a loop :P

[Paradise on E ZENON REMIX]

nice remix

Had to give an 8 for originality only because it's a remix which implies that it's not exactly original. But you get 10's for everything else and the 5 for sure which looks like it brought you up to a 4.9!

Honestly, I liked it better than B0UNC3's version.

You did a damn good job on it - The tempo changes reminded me a little of "French Kiss" by Yakooza, which I loved back in the day.

You're just honing your skills like mad aren't you. You should look into getting a few of your tracks played at a local club or two - I'm sure that they would be well received.

I think that the only way I would have liked it more would be if were just a hair less trancy and a little more drill&bassy - would be awesome.

PERVOK responds:

:D Always great to get a review from my DNB idol...

I like the fact that you liked it better than B0UNC3's version, but I guess its up to taste then.

Cause i like B0UNC3s version better than mine :P

I'd like to look into getting a couple of my recent tracks played at a club, but I live in a small city. No clubs.

:(

But, when im of age, ill move in with the big fish!
HAHAHAHAHA.

Thanks for the review!

[-MrMaestro- My Vision]

Great work

Dance, Trance & Ants in the Pants aren't my bag but it was well done. I may not personally listen to much in this style but I can definitely appreciate the work that went into it. It is very deserving of a 5 and that's what I'm voting!

Keep it up, you've got a ton of potential if you decide to persue this as a career.

DavidOrr responds:

Thanks a bunch LJ!

Yea, I am probably going to be going into performance (piano) or write out scores for movies, and just do electronica on the side. Luckily I have some awsome connections to Steven Spielburg (I'm a very very fortunate bastard), so I can probably get a job for a lower budget movie to get my name out there soon.

Thanks for the review and the vote :)

[Scourge of the Damned (0:31)]

Short and angry

Nice little ring tone. awesome playing - my god, the fingers must be bleeding like ... well... like something that bleeds alot!

- I gave the 9's because of the duration more than anything else. I'm voting 5

FlameMesial responds:

Awesome, thanks dood!!

My rhythm guitar hand was slightly aching after this, but to think that this will play everytime someone calls me...

I submitted it becuase I thought it would serve well in a flash with action/fighting scenes.

Thanks again man.

[Tension--_--]

Great job guys

It's been a while since I've stopped by your audio page - I figured it was overdue... Some of the drums sounded very familiar - maybe you used them before - I'm pretty sure that I remember them from one of your other tracks. - Either way, you're doing a great job.

I'm voting 5.

PERVOK responds:

Good to see your not dead :P

Thanks for the review!

[Hecklingtheworldleaders-jason]

Damn nice job!

Great track - a little difficult - bordering on impossible - to make out all of the lyrics but that's cool.

Great sound though - I'm voting 5 on it.

Can't say anything bad about it really.

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

Great review - a little difficult - bordering on impossible - to make out all of the words but that's cool.

Great font though - I'm voting 5 on it.

Can't say anything bad about it really:P

[->Tales of the Night I<-]

Hmmm.... avant garde perhaps?

Originality - well, if you based this on something else then I couldn't tell - it sounded way too random though - almost like the experimental 12 tone composition method, but I'll give you the benefit of doubt on this.

Clarity - Yes, I could hear it - the clarity was actually pretty good - too bad the rest wasn't though... :(

Diversity - one single instrument - and not a very compelling composition so.. not really a great score here either

Effort - Sorry but it really sounded like something that a random midi music generator would pump out - that or quantized keymashing - this did not sound intentional.

Overall - either way I don't want to be too hard on you but this track wasn't great - I cannot vote higher than 2.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm trying to rip you a new one here - I'm not - I'm just giving you an unbiased fair and honest review and score.

Keep trying though - don't get discouraged and seriously - if you need any help just ask me in the forums or email.

Distortzion responds:

Acutally I wanted to make something special, but I didn't know how. Then it was just random. Still thanks for your review.

[->10.000 Miles Under The Sea<-]

Check your levels...

Since this is one of the first reviews, I'll explain how/why I scored it like I did.

Originality - nothing jumped out at me - it sounded a little contrived honestly but you did try to mix it up a little here and there with the effects...

Claritry - The mastering was a bit on the flimsy side - the percussion was very muddled and the additional effects were all too loud by comparison.

Diversity - This wasn't a bad start but it was too repetitive considering the length - I think that maybe in a 3 or 4 minute track you could get away with the same beat for that long but not in this one.

Effort - it really sounded like you were way too anxious to submit something and threw this together quickly - You'll need to change things up a little - try some variation next time.

Before you get pissed, let me remind you that I'm just trying to help you out.

Although I feel a little bad about it, I'm voting 3 on this - I can't really give you anything higher at this point.

Keep at it - you show some promise but you need more practice.

See you around NG

Distortzion responds:

Well, although your review isn't quite positive, I'll still thank you.

I hell didn't know what to add extra to this song. And besides, be happy that this song isn't 3 minutes long xD

[The Relief (ZENON Vs. HDG)]

Very nice...

Nice mix, got the relatively slow - almost gangsta - piano along side of some sad pad/strings and a really decent percussion track which felt like it was leaning just a bit toward industrial - then the guitar, which kicks 7 different kinds of ass - the eighth guy saw that and left real quick...

Don't take it to heart or anything but I didn't particularly care for the crowd sounds - personally I really hate it when people do that, sort of like I'm supposed to believe that it was recorded 'live' at some arena or club where there were a thousand X'd up co-eds throwing soaking wet panties at a stage... Aaahhh - a tried and true staple of trance. pblblblblbt!

started out as all 9's but I upped the final score after I heard the track two or three times kind of grows on you a bit...

Great job!
