Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gym Leader Battle]

I recognize it

Of all the pokemon remixes I have heard, this is the one that is the easiest for me to remember. I like how ambitious it is as a song and how it gives a good feeling of adventure. Despite this, it also seems to be a lot calmer than a lot of other pokemon songs I have heard. I guess you really worked hard to make your own style. It is kind of hard to figure out the kind of style, but I think it is sort of a technologic style. What matters is that you really showed off your creativity in this one.

[R/B/Y Gym Leader Battle- Metal]

Keep them coming!

This was another great song to listen to as it is a great tribute to the pokemon franchise. I enjoyed how well everything synched together. I could definitley recognize the tune as being similar to "Pokemon" but you really seem to put in your own style. It came across to me as a punk rock style remix. The use of the guitar (or whatever it is that you used) was very well done and any other instruments. It gave off a tone of adventure and I like how it dwindles out at the end.

[Pokemon GS - Kanto Gym Leader]

Great song

As I am a big "Pokemon" fan myself, I was very entertained to hear this song. While I do not really play the games, this was quite impressive and loyal to the feel of the franchise. It was interesting just to hear these catchy tunes over and over. I think this gave off a really colorful feeling and one of joy but also a triumphant note. What I am trying to say is that this was a song worthy of having the pokemon name on it. It seems to be quite authentic (as I have indeed heard some remixes of the games).

[Man on a Mountain]

All on your own?

I was quite impressed by the fact that you were actually able to make this on your own! The voice and insruments sound like something that a professional would make. It has been awhile since I have heard the harmonica being played. I like the sternness of your voice and how frank it is. It may not have the most memorable of lyrics, but it is interesting to find out how you made a story with this song. It just has a really homey, country feeling to it that is rare in audio submissions around here.

yeah it's all our own stuff, made from scratch, thanks man!

[Do What You Need To]

Melancholy indeed

I kind of thought that this was one of your lesser entries, as it did not have the variety most of them have. It is still an enjoyable song due to the fact that it is so authentic. I am hearing more and more realistic rain being used all the time. I am starting to think you guys just recorded actual rain one night. The instruments used in this were very nice and quite authentic. It is a very peaceful song and another good example of how you are always willing to try new things with your music.

[Gerudo Valley (8bit Dance Rmx)]

Another great song!

Let me say that this is the first time I ever clicked on an audio submission and noticed that you could change the background and everything! Out of the hundreds of submissions I have reviewed, I never even noticed that! Anyway, this was a very fun song to listen to. It is amazing just how many different things you can make using a Chiptune/8bit remix. I have not heard the original song, so I can not compare it. It obviously took effort to make this song and I appreciate all that it took!

[Hare Hare Yukai (C64 remix)]

I couldn't resist

Upon first hearing the Hare Hare Yukai dance, I knew it was one of my favorite songs and that it would become popular. This gives off the most fantastic feeling of hope and joy. It took awhile to get used to the new style, but after you do, it is simply awesome. It is amazing just how much you can express by only using Game Boy sounds (or C64 sounds). Everything is very authentic and feels just like the original song. It is the sort of thing that a person like me can just listen to all day.

[Numa Numa (Game Boy remix]

Never gets old

Here on Newgrounds, it has been awhile since I saw (or heard) anything related to Numa Numa, so this was a very refreshing blast from the past. Now, my only complaint is that I do miss having the actual lyrics here. It is still great how you manage to keep all the fantastic music in this form. Game Boy is one of our fondest memories of childhood, so by combining it with a internet meme makes it awesome. It makes me think about someone making a Numa Numa game. This is a very fun song.

BadCommandCo responds:

Thanks :). I suppose some vocoder vocals would have been an interesting idea.

[-8bit clouds-]

Quite familiar

I am fairly familiar with this song and am glad that I was able to hear it in its raw form. I guess this is not one of my favorite entries from you, as it has been heard a lot of times and does not seem like anything new. It is still a good song as it has a pretty pleasant tune. It is in fact composed entirely of chip tunes. I am sad you do not think highly of your other work of the same kind. It is certainly a popular song and it shows. It may get a little redundant, but I was surprised at how much variety there was.

[{Firestorm}]

I remember this!

I understand why this sounds familiar as it has simply been used in so many different entries. I admire this song because it has a truly great rhythm to it. I thought that because of the title it was going to be something more hardcore and sinister. While it is not the lightest of songs, it really knows how to balance its tone out. It creates (for me at least) a very ambitious tune with a lot of action and looking to do things. It can certainly go with a lot of different games as it already has.
