BeNerdish's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Tribe]

Midnight. Stranded in the dark forest, in the middle of enemy territory. Flashlight batteries running low. Still, you have to carry out your mission, or else the fate of this world will be grim... yes, the music that you hear all around you COULD loop seamlessly, but you have more important things to think of, as you are approaching the enemy camp...

Bookmarked and tagged for #gamedev. Still, please reconsider looping :]

Filip-Miljkovic responds:

Hehe, I like the story! I am always glad when my soundtracks can create such vivid images :) Yes, it can most certainly loop - it was designed to loop. I just didn't want to upload 3-4 minutes of repetitive material (that would be kinda boring without a game backing it up xD).

[Princess Marion]

Oh yes. I can see the princess. Her matted hair, her eyes that lost color long ago. Sitting on thin layer of hay in the castle dungeon, with but a tiny hole in the thick wall to let some light into her cell. Chained to the floor, she weeps for her people. Now ruled by her younger sister, that is in fact controlled by evil cousin, they are forced to slave labor for the alien beings that helped in the rebellion. There is no hope left for this land... or is there? Maybe the ancient portal in the middle of the forest no one dares to enter holds a secret that will change the fate of this world once again...

Huh? I'm sorry, I think spaced out a little too much. I guess that is enough to prove that this piece does not require critique. At least not from me.

Please, give us more compositions in this mood. I beg you D:

Bosa responds:

Certainly, sire.

[Voltage]

Mmmm... Crispy!

I like the heavy feel, and the fact it's not "overweight" at the same time. The kicks might be a tiny little itsy bitsy too loud in the middle compared to melody. Assuming the intended theme was "robots", you fit just right! Also, I'm totally saving this for future game development ;)

Aistis responds:

I'll look into the drum part. Thanks for reviewing :)

[~Boombox 2012~]

Take some Crazy Bass concepts, add fresh melody, give it a medium-slow tempo, make it a little glitchy, sprinkle it with a pinch of dubstep to taste. Mix, pour into mp3, bake for half an hour. Upload to NG while hot :D

I'm starting to like your cuisine! Keep it up, I want you to bloat my player with good music :D

keosni391 responds:

I like you too brother :) thanks man! ;D

[Pirates of the Night]

Yes, I admit, I dream to music. And I usually come up with weird concepts while at it. For example:
Pirates. On a wooden frigate. Finished with loads of blueish steel, as the frigate is now IN SPACE. Surrounded by a forcefield to keep the atmosphere. The pirates are now dancing to the sounds of a weird electric-accordion-something-instrume nt and a mechanical parrot on the captain's robotic arm squawks to the rhythm. Where are they going? Probably to pillage another space station in this sector of galaxy...

Err, I was supposed not to "post stupid nonsense" but there is little to criticize here. So I'll get back to enjoying this on my mp3 and maybe someday recreate that mental image in Blender... maybe...

Actually I've realized that I haven't gone through your submissions yet... well, time to make it up ^^

Indigorain responds:

Haha, I love nonsense! :D
And this is a time to say 'cool story bro' without the sarcastic tone! :D
But really, thanks a lot for the kind words and for checking out my music! I really appreciate it! :D:D

[Libera me from Hell [WIP]]

Very spiral :)

The beginning is a masterpiece. I hate the "opera" in the original, so I am searching for a remix. However, if it's still a "WIP", IMHO removing Simon's quotes would make it better. Hell, it could even end up on my playlist.
I'm not going to spoil your 10/10, but think about it ;)

SonicJ responds:

You can vote fairly, it wouldn't hurt my feelings. Sadly, this is no longer a WIP so I guess I should change the title to reflect that, I lost this project long ago :(

[Rise of the Eldrazi]

Lolwut

Newgrounds was one last place where I wasn' t expecting MTG...

BUT! Nice ambient music for scary creatures :P

This WILL become awesomely epic in right hands.

lanky21 responds:

Thanks Ben, MTG gets everywhere eventually.
