Alxertion's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Can't Catch Me!]

This is the second track of yours I listen from the Cops OST; It sounds very fitting for the game, just as expected. Great work!

MC-Jimmy responds:

Thanks again! Like in the description, there are a few tracks already made and I plan on making more. I even might extend some of the tracks, so stay tuned for that since you like the two I uploaded so far.

[Cicada]

It sounds nice; even though I feel it's a bit repetitive. Those strings sounded great!

Eagleon responds:

I should have spent some more time with it, yeah. And thank you :) It's All-Around Violin with some flutter on its stereo separation, and one other soundfont for the lower strings, got it from this thread http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1200140

[Freedom to Leave]

It sounds very "random", spread out in the first minute; then it starts sounding like a nice guitar melody.

[G-cloak (preview)]

It sounds nice; I feel it would fit a video-game. I'll be waiting for the full version!

killapickle1 responds:

thanks, I'm glad you liked it :)

[Made Of Stars]

Sounds awesome; the part where the instruments all went silent and only the vocals could be heard, followed by a crescendo of the instruments was the part I enjoyed the most, along with the piano/guitar intro. But really, I was expecting something in the ending; it felt a bit confusing (probably what you intended). Great work!

MetalRenard responds:

Yeah, I wasn't too pleased with this one, I feel it has a few major flaws. Honestly though I chose the outro to be that way on purpose. Straight from the loudest section in the song and after the sentence "There's no tomorrow" it ends in silence. Dramatically.
It's a statement more than anything and your confusion is perfect, exactly what I wanted from the listener. :)

[For Sadness]

There's a reason why your view/download ratio is so high; it really inspires what it's supposed to, in a lovely way.

Enzer0 responds:

Thanks Alxertion - And thanks for taking the time to comment, means alot.

[Steadfast Advance]

It feels like the classic 4-chord I-V-IV-VI progression; it sounds wonderful though!

Athius responds:

It not only feels like it, that is exactly what it is. Well, I'm not sure about the progression you mentioned, but I do know that the chord progression I used is very common. Influence from other sources weigh heavily on anyone trying to compose something original. It's usually better to stick to progressions people recognize, I mean that's how you get songs stuck on your head to begin with.

[The Chromatic Creep]

Something doesn't quite fit; the scale may not be the greatest, or maybe the chords don't go along well but I myself didn't like some parts of it. However, some parts were really enjoyable. What you could also variate with would be the key touch / note velocity.

[Melodic Wings (cover)]

I can tell why this would be fun to play; he composed a beautiful song and you did a nice interpretation of it.

Ceevro responds:

Let me tell you, friend...if ever you want a song to play on guitar that somehow make panties vanish...
