Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[So 2005]

Quite beautiful!

I guess this was trying to have a nostalgic feeling because of the name "So 2005". I couldn't really find that tone but it was still awesome to listen to. I thought it was very nice how this just seemed to be a soft, peaceful little song. I guess it made me feel about looking back at our lives and it works as a coming-of-age theme. There wasn't any hard action or anything like that implied, but it needed just the opposite. You have really made a very impressive soundscape song that one can enjoy.

[Terry 49]

Okay

I am beginning to hear more variety in the works you have made. While I was never one for short loops, I guess that this is at least had something different than what you normally have. I am impressed at how you made that feminine voice and wonder if that is your own voice. I guess the tune was trying to imitate jazz or something. However, it did seem like it did not have much going on it. As I have said before, it's important that you go for quality over quantity.

[Castle Crashers The Crusade]

Sweet!

I have simply heard (and reviewed) countless submissions to the audio portal for this Castle Crashers contest. This may not be my favorite, but it was one of the best. It simply defines "epic" as it fits the heavy metal genre so well. Granted, the music is so heavy I can't really notice how it's similar to the original song, but that's okay. You did a good job of making an authentic imitation of heavy metal and epic songs. It may only last 45 seconds, but it manages to get a lot done for its time.

[Duels of Concept]

One of your best

I'm started to really appreciate you more as an audio guy as I've heard most of your stuff. This works very well as being a very energetic song. I like the little electronic "outbursts" that go out every now and then which may define its style more than anything else. I also like how it seems to become more rapid in its delivery as it goes on. It is the song you can listen to several times and it won't get tiring. I think it even has a sort of technological tone to it.

[~EnV~Heaven Rd. 2 (Ng mix)]

Congradulations, my friend!

I think this may in fact be the most used song ever submitted to the audio portal! I immediately recognised it as being the music used in "-Music In Motion-". What better music to choose for a music game than something that was among the most popular? I am surprised that is only 42nd in terms of popularity (I wish I knew number one!). As for the song itself, it was great especially the voice at the beginning. It really knows how to take something and do the best it can with it.

[Locust Toybox - Crayon Miracle]

More great work!

I did not know what to expect from this at all, but it turned out to be something great! I'm becoming more familiar with the "Locust" style music. The title "Toybox" comes to me as being playful and child-like and having a good rythum to it. The music style is sort of dark in that it sounds weird. However, the listener is still able to identify the more pleasant themes of the song, like they presumably should. I also liked how it really paced itself for a song only one and a half minutes long.

[Terry 48]

Good stuff!

I wouldn't say that this tune was boring so much as it was supposed to be nice indeed! It was interesting to hear a tune that was reminicisent of the "South Park" intro. That is probably my favorite intro of any show ever. While this may not have had a lot of variety, it worked well in its purpose of creating something nice for the listener to make. It's great to know you have achieved success with at least some of your stuff getting a few reviews. Maybe not your best, but proof that you're at least pretty creative.

[Infinite Mine]

All loops are endless

I was pretty impressed at this and I did not even recognize it as Sonic and Knuckles music at first. It seemed to be more like something taken from an old happy song. It's pretty interesting how you managed to put a really peaceful spin on this. I am recognizing it more and more as being from Sonic, but it's still great to have that happy tone, especially at the beginning. It's nice how I was able to view this music at the happy time of the Christmas season. I wish you a merry Christmas and tidings of great joy!

[Generic jRPG music]

Less than 3.5?

I'm surprised this has such a low score given that the reviews are unanimously ten until now. It's really funny to hear all of your voices do those really stupid sounds. I like how we get a taste of your real voice at the beginning to know what we are comparing. I like how the voices join in after awhile. It's kind of like Kirbopher's stuff in that it seems like the same voice is being recorded over to make numerous sounds. Congradulatios on your latest audio submission and all of your others!

[Chaotic Cathedral]

It really got better

As it began, it was something I think I would give a 7 or 8 to. It really managed to pick up some steam over awhile and turn into a creepy action-like thing. I was thinking of Mario stair music, but it does fit the bill of evil villians (isn't that kind of redundant?) in a dungeon. It manages to capture that age old feel of medieval times. I think the whole part reminded me of a giant church organ. Those things do work pretty well in portraying the evilness of a classic villian in that scenario.
