Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tenrai ~Divinity I Hip Hop Rmx]

Advent Children?

I am sorry I was not able to recognize the music that was being used, as this is something that deserves mention! It may have sounded a little "shakey" at times, but it made up for it by being awesome! It's a pity it was pretty short. It seemed like you were aiming for the tone of going on a big journey or something, which I'm sure is what the original music was about. It's just interesting to think about all the different kinds of instruments that might have been used to make this. It was a very enjoyable listen.

[Wish Remix]

Awesome!

I am so glad that I got the chance to watch this underappreciated masterpiece! This is a great song simply because it knows how to go all over the place. It starts off sounding pretty surreal, but things get crazier when you add the lyrics in! I thought this was just as good as anything made by anyone professional. You give off feelings of ascending around the first minute and can really add a story to your work. I am very glad I was exposed to all of the musical talent that you have.

wow, im really glad you think so mate. it feels good to get such a great review.
well, check back in a couple of days, im currently downloading some songs for another mix, that shouldnt be too long in the making. although it wont be as crazy as this, im gonna go for a lighter more house electro style.

[Hacsev Jazz]

It is quite pleasant

When I saw this at the beginning, I wasn't expecting much, but I was quite surprised at how it got better. It wasn't supposed to have a lot of action or anything like that, it just worked nice as being a brief slice of life stroy. This is indeed reminiciscent of classical jazz. It reminds me a lot of piano more than it would, say, saxaphone. I'm glad it has been used in so many entries. It is an awesome song and you really know how to get your theme on!

Hacsev responds:

Thank you, Ericho!

[His Most Famous Act]

Beautiful

I think that this was a very nice and well made song and was fun to listen to. I thought it was really cool how it kept that light tone but felt that it had a lot going on. I just wanted to say that I am glad to be reaching the end of this decade after hearing and reviewing all of the stuff you have made. Looking back, I am glad I got a chance to look at your and everyone else's audio work. This sort of made me think of marching, like soldiers. I hope you had a very merry Christmas and may I wish you a happy new year!

[Supersonic Waves]

This is great stuff

I appreciate all of the hard work and effort that was put into making these interesting songs. While the tone was pretty light, I don't think it would be correct to say it was casual. It seemed to have a lot of things going on, especially with how the voices worked. It's still a bit hard to follow they lyrics but in songs like these, it doesn't really matter. It didn't seem to live up to the title that much, which is just fine. I am glad that you can keep the light tone but still experiment with something.

[Momentish]

This is quite nice

It is interesting to take note of how far you have come in all of these audio submissions. You can add this to the majority of light hearted stuff you make. Actually, I think this was a bit more fast paced than some of the other stuff you've made. It actually reminded me more of a sort of hillbilly banjo playing type thing. I have never heard of this Stan Kenton before, but I am glad to be introduced to a new style of music. The occasional uses of voices was also pretty cool.

[Rooibos]

This was quite nice

While you were not that busy this year, it was nice when you got to make the stuff that you could. I have been having a great holiday season and this was a nice treat. I thought it was a good representation of a peaceful scene, which I guess you were aiming for. It was a little boring at the beginning, but it got better at the end. I especially like listening to the vague voices and how it stops like, 30 seconds before the song ends. It is a great collection to your many audio submissions.

[Beneath The Tide]

Quite a good song

I was impressed at how this managed to create a fairly steady tone for such a long time. I would never guess that this is from the guy who made "Salad Fingers". It's funny how of all the stuff you've experimented with, happy music is the best. After a long year (it's been about a year since you submitted this) it's nice to end it with this. I have had a great Christmas vacation and I hope you have last year and this year. It was kind of hard for me to recognize the use of a guitar at all, but I guess it's just not my thing.

[Recent Draft]

It never goes down

I guess that you have firmly established yourself as being a person who prefers using light hearted melodies. I can see a pattern here, and this works into your work quite well. It actually didn't seem like a mashed mess, as it was pretty organized. I guess that can be good or bad depending on what you were aiming for. Everything flowed together really well and it gave the listener a nice, smooth feeling. I was impressed by how fludily this moved and left a feeling of happiness.

[Arisa]

Melancholy!

I thought this was a very enjoyable song to listen to, even if it wasn't one of your best. I really liked how it works well as being a pleasant song even if it does go on a bit too long. It made me think of a Christmas theme, although that is really only because it is Christmas as I review this. I guess you have a lot in this LOCUST TOYBOX album. With all of the stuff that you submit to the audio portal, it almost seems strange to buy the song. It was pretty nice how you put in some voices as it gave a sense of people's prescences.
