Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Launch]

Pretty glorious

I was impressed at what a glorious and willfull tune this turned out to be. It wasn't among my favorites, but it was still pretty enjoyable to listen to. I at first thought this was used for "Hedgehog Launch", but I guess I'm just associating it with things with "Launch" in the name. As I have heard so many submissions, there really wasn't anything really unique. I think the strongest part of this is how the voices work so well. It creates a pretty haunting feeling that builds up to a climax.

[Seasons [Tell]]

This is nice and graceful

I really enjoyed listening to this song, simply because it's a really nice song. It shows off grace by going on into more intense emotions, but never trying to be too action-like or anything. The beat is pretty fun, and it knows how to pace itself over the time period it is on. Everything seems to be synched together pretty well, and it gives off a nice feeling. The softness shows it would be perfect for a casual game. It gives you more senses of wonder and goodness than other songs might.

[{Hollow Man} Remastered]

It was good

I'm pretty sure I've heard the "Hollow Man" tune before, which would make sense. This didn't strike me as great, but it did have a lot of good stuff in it. I was impressed at how the tone changed through the different kinds of instruments being used. It still managed to keep the overall idea of a sort of dark adventure. That's what most audio stuff on Newgrounds is about anyway. This was an interesting song, if only to see how much the song has gone through since the original version.

[Madness Theme - Uprising]

It's pretty suiting

I've heard a lot of Madness music, and I have to say that this was quite a suiting entry to the list of Madness music we have. It was a little dull at first, but it did manage to really pick up after awhile. As usual, it's great how it builds up on itself. There's even some time periods where it goes back to a softer tone only to pick up in darkness. It gives me a feeling of tragedy and revenge, although not so much action. It is pretty different than the generic techno songs in the series, not that I don't like them too.

[Newgrounds Rumble BGM4]

It wasn't used?

It saddens me to learn that this great song was apparently never used for the game. It seems to be very appropriate for the "Newgrounds Rumble" game, which I'm a big fan of. It gives off a feeling of depression, like something you'd hear from a really dark game like Warhammer 40K. This also fits the mood of Piconjo well, as was at least used for a cartoon like that. Everyone is done well and seems to sync up good enough. It's a good, dreary feeling with occasionally harder breaks in the music.

[Sandman FX]

It never ends!

I am so thankful I have had the oppurtunity to go back and listen to all the great audio submissions that have been made! I simply love the tone of this one, especially with the beginning. It sounds something soft, like bits of sand dropping into the ocean or water. It turns into a crazy song that has a lot going on, but still seems to keep that subtle sound of the sand going everywhere. It seems to fit the title well, too. It's to bad you won't upload the longer version, but this is still great.

[-Enlightenment-]

Pretty nice stuff

Seeing as how it's been used in 36 entries, it's easy to say this is an extremely popular song. It has in fact been heard by me so many times it may have lost its edge, but it's still good stuff. It's a standard sort of song that can be used to accompany a lot of bizarre cartoons. I think this gives off a feeling of wonder as well as eerieness. The repetition seems to work pretty well for itself too. It also reminded me of things like flashing lights or some darkness type thing.

[Flash Intro 2]

Slow?

This is yet another great song, because it really knows how to be spectactular throughout what it has done. I would have been satisfied if it had stopped with that cute music in the beginning. I like how your definition of "slow" seems to extend to a lot of things. There are indeed moments of fastness and slowness in this nice song. I really like the murmuring chimes at the end (or whatever those are). It kind of gives the feeling of an ocean or at least an authentic sense of sounding like rain.

[Zelda OoT: Forest Echoes]

Those are improved!

Of all of the audio submissions I have heard, I still do not recall this being similar to "The Legend Of Zelda". It's a pretty interesting theme, and I just love how graceful it is. It does get more fast paced as it goes on, but never lets down in being wonderful. It slowly goes it way through being something triumphant to the final parts. I don't know what your music was like before, but these are definitley some fine tuned instruments, my friend! It seems like it could have been used on a flute or something.

[API - Fabricate]

Contest?

I really have no idea what MAC7 is, but this seemed worthy enough to be in a contest. It is a little hard to review short entries as they may not have much depth to them. This isn't to say I didn't enjoy listening to this, as it's pretty cool. I'm surprised it was only used once, as I could have sworn I had listened to it before. It gave me the feeling of an airplane or something whirling through the air to the ground. It just sort of had a "zippy" feeling to it, although I'm not sure what that means.
