LJCoffee's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[WC > Braindance]

Really damn nice

I thought the quality was excellent considering out brief duscussion concerning compression - did you cut some of it? sounded great on this end.

Nice glitch work here and there. All of the elements playing together resulted in a few fairly complicated and very interesting polyrythms.

Very chilled out - really decent feel to it. It never became overwhelming.

I can't say anything bad about this track - nothing bad at all - it gets 10's and a 5.

So far, you have made a great impression on me - every one of the tracks that you've submitted has been great.

In six months, you'll own the AP if you keep this up.

Produced in a month... I have mixed feelings about that statement :D We'll discuss that more in private though heh...

StrangeEncounters responds:

Oh LjCoffee. Don't be silly.

[Zero Level]

Lots of possibilities

I though you did a great job on this - something about it sounds a bit Lo-Fi.

Would make a great tune for a game menu or intro.

I'm voting 4 on this

- why not 5 you ask? OK.. here goes -
in a word : timbres

Re-assign your drums - use a few nontraditional sounds - the bass and melody were fine but they sounded a little like presets - they were missing something - maybe a few basic effects - a tiny bit of reverb goes a long way - that's about it

Syntrus responds:

sry about the drum reverb its just that my early work was always judged kinda harshly and i got scared to use Reverbed anything!

[Syntrus presents Venom]

Aaargh... Techno :D

I hate reviewing techno - I always have such a hard time with it for some reason.

To be honest, I don't listen to a lot of techno and I never really know how to rate it.

This wasn't bad at all though - it did exactly what techno should do - it was well put together.

The snare was just a little harsh compared to the rest but that's alright - now worries there.

I do like squares and saws though so you get extra for the melodic timbre.

I'm giving straight 9's and I'm voting 5 - on this one (as well) I was thinking 4 but the score is so damned low - it definitely deserves a better score than a 2.00 - so you get a 5 to raise it up a bit.

Syntrus responds:

Thx man much apreaciated iam getting blamified

[Life Motion Feat.Tawney]

Tell Tawney

You two should get together again and do a little trip-hop thing.

This was a little more upbeat and just a hair more ... hip-hop? maybe?

Overall I liked it but The instruments did sort of sound like you were looking for something to add - maybe you rushed it a bit.

I would have voted about 4/5 on this but the score is so low right now - some bastard probably zeroed it.. (or several bastards for that matter) so I'm voting 5 to try to increase the score as much as I can.

Not too bad for what it was -

Syntrus responds:

Yah man i got a recent blammerama i'd honestly say its about a 4/5

[port of lau]

9??!! WTF!

Very filthy piece - the first half is just dripping with grime - great ambience. Nice chops on the sax in the later part of this track.

You should go back and jump headfirst into the tedium of mixing up the percussion.
That's where the 9 for effort came from.

You still get a 5 though - I hope it won't attract too much attention from the zero-voting cockmunchers.

cheers

yo yo,
yeh, the whole thing needs a fair bit of work, if i ever get around to it i'll post a more comprehensive version.
tanks mate,
;ped

[WC > Gravity]

Excellent work!

Very nice job on this

The NASA radio chatter samples were perfect (at least I think that's what they were) - although it would still kick ass even without them.

Great job all around - the pads were just so sick and quirky which I absolutely love - very very good stuff.

Nice percussive timbres.

Quite the ChillCore piece (hah - ChillCore - kind of an Oxymoron huh?)

This is a great track that you should be proud of!

5/5

StrangeEncounters responds:

Lol, I am proud. Meh, the intro would of sucked without the Nasa shit. Anyways. Thanks for the review.

[H.T.W.L - my mic]

You fucker!

Fucking catchy ass track!

The first time I listened to this I wrote a review - (I have no idea what happened to it! I must have shut down that window) anyways, I had mentioned that the only problem I had with it was the levels on the lyrics - Anyways - I downlaoded this and I've listened to it several times since then - This is an awesome track - if you could bring up the volume just a half a hair on the main vocals this would be the dogs bollocks!

Fantastic song - great beat to it - the music is outstanding - I really dig the vocals - they're a little knackered but I think that lends a certain charm to them that I just love.

I wish this style would catch on and take hold -

fantastic work on what is currently at the top of my fovarite NG tracks list.

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

there are bunch more sitting on my HD with
russ on vox, some great stuff lurking, shame all the vocals sound rough, my production skills lick balls more than you lick balls.
lick balls
;ped

[alittlesliceofheave(pie)]

chilled like freezer pops

very very nice job - has a sort of trip-hoppy feel to it.

quirky and odd and that's why I love it.

!5/5!

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

tanks, tanks, i would have given it 8 for clarity and 7 for originality but there you go
;ped

[Some Jumpstyle again?!]

Decent track

This is not really my style so it's very hard to review but overall it's a decent track. This track seemed a bit on the minimalist side - there wasn't much to it and it was repetitive but still a good track either way. I haven't voted on this piece yet and I'll most likely give it a day or two before I do but you'll get either a 4 or more likely a 5 from me - that's just how I am...

I like your DnB work much better!

MinistryofTunes responds:

No problem i experiment with all music genres i dont stick to 1 genre so i can put good things out music genres to put them into 1

[Keys 2 Nowhere]

Really nice job on this.

Really nice on this track - I loved the slow tempo 3/4 - higher tempo 4/4 signature overlay - worked out nicely and it gave the piece a unique feel.

5/5 from me.

MinistryofTunes responds:

FINALLY!! Im waiting till this review for a really long time :P most ppl dont hear it that its 3/4 piano and 4/4 drums !:D and thnx for the rate and vote :)
