Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

Another boss battle?

I seem to be encountering a lot of songs that fit the theme of boss battles lately. Anyway, this was a very interesting song and it had a good sense of pacing and adventure. It is probably the only one I have ever heard that paused that once, but twice in the song! I couldn't see the point of that, as it seemed to repeat itself. I'm sure there were some minor differences that I just wasn't all that keen to notice. It is certainly an original concept that doesn't really fit so much of a boss as it does of simpler action things.

Aah, well the Audioportal was ment so that flash artists could use the song for there flash projects like a cartoon or a game. TomFulp wanted to use this song for his maddness comabt game. But the file couldnt compile.

The pauses well.. i dont know something i thaugt would be cool to do!

Thanks for th review and your ;)
Really thankfull!

Boss?

I wasn't quite sure what you meant by saying "boss". I thought you were going more for "boss" as in something being really cool, but of course this works out either way. I guess it doesn't seem that thrilling to me because I am not there fighting an actual boss or anything. It certainly has a lot of ambition and is meant to loop. I felt this had a lot of ambition as it seemed to have a lot of tunes and the like to it. While not one of my favorites, this was a great piece of audio and deserves its praise.

[Fredgy - Systole]

Very impressive indeed!

What I love about this song is how it has a sort of futuristic beat to it. I especially enjoyed how it gave off "spiraling" sounds in the beginning and upgraded into a bigger thing. It was pretty cool to listen it keep up that awesome beat for two and a half minutes. After the first minute, there seemed to be a sort of relapse where you paused a bit. Whatever the intention was, this interesting style really worked well. I appreciate you for all of the time and effort put in to make something this good.

Fredgy responds:

haha thanks :)

Had its bad points

I wasn't sure how to get the tone of this one, but I guess it didn't need it. I think this may have worked a bit too well in terms of being just stratches on a track. I wasn't able to decipher much at all and it seemed a little repetitive after awhile. Still, I admit this was a pretty original idea and you seemed to do with it what you wanted to. I am a fan of zany stuff and this does fit the idea of that pretty well. I'm glad you were at least able to get a high score on something that's pretty original.

MmmCake responds:

thanks! yeah, its more of a idea then a full out thought-through song.

thanks! :D

[Rucklo - Fear the Flight v.3]

Another great piece from you!

Wow, I didn't even remember hearing this in the "Cave Of Wonders" game. It was probably used at the end where you completed the game and didn't die, which I haven't die. Anyway, this gives off a very good feeling of ambition and adventure. It has a lot of changes in the types of music, which almost seem to be happening at every second. My favorite is probably the more chilling tone at around 0:17. It's great that you made so much great stuff for this game and it all worked out so well.

[Rucklo - Cave of Wonders Menu]

Great memories

I have some great memories of this music as I of course listened to it while playing the game. I was impressed at how it really did make you feeling about the wonders of a cave. It sounded kind of chime-like to me, almost in a Christmasy way. It also reminded me of something like sparkling crystals which you'd find in a wonderful cave. The violin that plays during those sound effects was very nice as well. All in all, this was a very good piece of music to use for a game just as good.

[Rucklo - Abrupt Awakening]

Sweet song!

I believe I remember hearing this when I was playing the "Cave Of Wonders" game. I guess I'm not as bad a fan of this site as I thought, as I first thought of Aladdin when that came on. This had one of the best beats that I have ever heard in a song! The pacing is done wonderfully, really building itself up at the right time. I was also impressed by simply how zany this came in addition to sounding action-like. You deserve to have the highest possible rating of 9.9 as an average score on this masterpiece!

[Rage of the Champions]

This is it!

It's great to hear some of the most noted music ever made on Newgrounds! Then again, it is at 106th place in popularity, so I'm probably just missing out on some stuff. It is amazing that this has gotten so many reviews and was used in so many things. It gives a great representation of victory and herosim and adventure, you get the idea. It was a very nice use of percussion instruments (you used them, right?). While it didn't have any dialogue, this certainly told a lot more in music than some stuff with lyrics could!

[_-={Deranged Sanctuary}=-_]

Deranged?

The tone/theme and the description didn't make me understand the title. I was thinking this was going to be some maddening tune that was about an asylum or something. I instead got a fairly pleasant one that fit up to your description. I think the song really built up to a factor of hope as it was much duller in the beginning. It was interesting to listen to the mood change as well as a tone of mysteriousness. This gave off a lot of emotions that all fit well to make one good song.

[_-={Dark Skies}=-_]

Very nice!

I knew this sounded a bit familiar with it being used in so many entries. I was interested in learning about the different kinds of instruments being used, as I could hear bells and some choir singing. I did feel that this had a nice dark edgy feel to it with a sort of medeival atomsphere. Seeing as how this was meant to be for an RPG, that fits it rather nicely. In fact, it just lives up to its description on the author's comments well. It also had a good length (one and a half minutes) for a loop.
