Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zeal Feels Good]

It's great to have a song as long as this. You can really get to analyze it. For you to keep up something good for that long is also impressive. Now, I thought this had a lot going on. It does seem to tell a story that slowly builds itself up. I also like how the end is the same as the beginning.

It's a pretty steady song when you think about it. It doesn't get too flashy, but still has enough to entertain you. I just now realize the two words rhyme. Yeah, I could relax with this. I'm glad it fulfilled its purpose.

[Alarming loop]

Well, I'm generally not one for loops, but this wasn't bad. I guess it was better how it was longer than many other loops. It would be great music for a game. You certainly have many of those. I guess it reminded me of a mystery setting. It came off as mostly serious.

It did have some good variety, if only for a short time. You have to work with what you have. It is kind of weird when you listen to it. By "weird", I'm leaning more toward scary. This was pretty good, even if it wasn't that memorable.

[Crazy Night]

This wasn't much variety, but I didn't care. It was simply great to hear heavy metal like this. It's been awhile since I've heard that here. The title is a bit too generic, though. It still works great with the actual content. It's a pretty good length, too.

I guess "punk" goes in well with rock and heavy metal. Geez, I don't even know if my brother ever woke up that late! Anything this hardcore would keep you awake. Great work.

BERSERKYD responds:

I'll use that as some kind of motivation fuel ! Great review ! Thanks !

[Armed with Wings - Awaken]

Wow, it's weird to make an audio submission for a game for so long ago. This is still great to listen to. I have since forgotten about that game. Well, I don't remember it enough to know this. It's quite an ambitious song. Maybe it could be used in some new version.

Well, I guess it's silly to make a whole new game just because of an audio submission. This is just nice to listen to. It has a steady beat. It could probably have more variety. It's a bit too repetitive at first.

[PdGAudio - Ethereality]

I really DO wish I could remember this as being featured in the Lumination game. This is one of the most graceful songs I have ever heard. It's just such a pleasant song. There's so much wonderful detail put into everything. It's so sullen. I love the sound at 3:44 especially.

It shows how strong you are as a composer. I guess that's an appropriate term to use here. Everything is so wonderful you deserve the utmost credit. It seems like it's kind of mysterious. It's about a person wondering what their meaning is. That's a wonderful feeling.

Qelaion responds:

Thank you very much. :)

[Echoing Serenity]

This really does sound familiar. It isn't listed under any of your submissions, though. Most people do that. Again, I just know what kind of music you're into. It really does live up to its name. I also feel that it's a good length, too.

It gets better as it goes on. It still manages to keep the spirit it had in the beginning. Not bad for a song less than three minutes! I guess I just notice those things when you've reviewed as much stuff as I have. It has more of an innocent tone to it.

[Theeketel - Rubber Goddess]

I'm glad to bet the first reviewer for this! I thought this was good, but not great. I think it just got a little too repetitive. It's still a nice song. I can really hear the drums coming together in this. I'm glad you wanted us to relax.

I hope you had a kick with this, too. Drums are pretty soothing, now that I think about it. I guess that's this song's biggest appeal. Three minutes seems like a good length. The title is probably the coolest part.

AliceMako responds:

Really, well i'm glad you're glad even if i don't know what the added value of a first review is.

Four years ago already, where has the time gone? I'm fairly certain i wasn't making anything great ( yet? ) and even whether or not i do now is a matter of opinion or taste at the end of the day.

I have to wonder if no longer adding my intentions for a piece is perhaps to the detriment of my work, i kind of gave up on writing anything other then my wish for people to enjoy it because over the years i've gotten the impression that the majority of people don't read what i write but i could of course be completely wrong about this.

I did have a good time making this if i remember correctly, it was also still safe to post in ambient though if made today i'd probably file it under experimental as it's not a very thorough effort on my part from the sound of it. I'd say most of the repetitiveness comes from poor instrument presence and my inability to mix a track to any notable effect, both due to plain inexperience and the version of reason i was on at the time still lacking a lot of features to this end.

The title comes from fetish slang, it can mean a number of things depending on the context :3

I'm glad you enjoyed and thanks for listening.

[Humming Drone]

While you didn't make many audio submissions, you certainly made some good ones! I guess you are off to a pretty strong start. I'm probably just familiar with your style, because it seems familiar. I guess I just know good music when I hear it. It certainly gives off the electronic beat you were promising. My only complaint is that it's a bit repetitive.

It does get more variety as it goes on. It does have an adventurous tone to it. It's like it could be used in a factory level. They tend to have a lot of those nowadays. Well okay, it was more in the days of Sonic.

[iNfliktioN - Battlefront]

Here's another very impressive music piece! I was expecting this to have a higher rating. I mean, listen to it! It gives off a wonderful dark and grimy atmosphere. I think I can hear some steampunk in there too. I am glad it's been used in various entries.

It even does a great job of building itself up at the end. It does seem like part of a battle to me. It also sounds like it takes place in a factory. I think I can hear some gears turning. Whatever it is, it's great.

[Gerudo Valley...Salsa ?]

The only downside to this was that I thought it took too long to change tone. It's still a great song, I was just expecting more at the end. Anyway, I really am glad to have listened to this song, because it has a great amount of variety. It seems to have a Mexican theme to it. For some reason, the entry it showed up didn't have its thumbnail appear under "Related Content". I'm glad Hadoukendude loved it!

It was great how it went off at the end too. There was just a list of positivity with this. I just felt good listening to this. The softness works so well. I can see why the rating is so high.
