Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dr. Robotnik 1, 2 and 3 Mix]

Pretty nice

I could've sworn knowing this title, but I probably just heard the original music. As someone who knows Sonic The Hedgehog music, I thought this was pretty well done even if I'm not familiar with it. I was able to understand more around 0:46. I didn't play the games when I was a kid, but am still very familiar with the theme. I guess I'm just not the biggest fan of this specific music, which is why I didn't like it more. Still, it serves a lot of purpose as being something to use in games and you did that well.

[Heroes March ~P~]

Good song

I could've sworn I heard this a lot of times before, but I can't seem to find anything about it in an entry. I was impressed by how you put in a real story. It gives exactly what it is supposed to about the description provided and what is made just by the title. I was also impressed by the orchestral theme that really did feel pretty epic. I am very impressed that you managed to do this all on your own. My only complaint is that it could've used some more variety and had more instruments being used.

[Twins of Duality]

3 PM!

This gets a 9 probably because it has such a great title, if not one of the best I've heard. I couldn't really hear a lot of dual personality stuff going on, but it was still very nice. It really sounded like it was saying, "3 PM" over and over, which was kind of funny. If anything, this worked well as something that had a lot of rythum and a pleasant theme. It was interesting at how you collaberated with DJ-Delinquent on this. Is he by chance another audio guy on this website or is he an actual celebrity?

[BLU Fantasy Boss]

First vote!

While not some of the best, this was very well done. I am surprised no one else managed to vote on this seeing as how it has even been reviewed before. It got a little montonous as it went on, but it helps that the overall tune was nice. I was thinking this was similar to some "Pokemon" battle theme music, but it seemed to be more of "Super Smash Bros. Brawl". Of course, pokemon are in SSBB so it sort of fits. It fits more as something for a fighting game than something made to face a boss in a fantasy game.

[[ f ] Brawl Remix (Remastered)]

Nice song

I'm already familiar with the Super Smash Bros [Brawl] music, and this was nice. It was a good representation of how good the original music was supposed to be and how you can alter it. It wasn't among the best stuff I've ever heard, but it was done well. I guess I may have just heard so much stuff it's all starting to sound similar. I liked the use of the cymbals and all of the other instruments. I also like the triumphant music we get at around 3 minutes in.

flashmac responds:

Thanks man

[WS - Zatoichi Tribute]

Very nice

It was hard for me to understand what the tone/theme of this was really supposed to be. From the title "Zatoichi" I was thinking it was trying to imitate the Oriental theme a lot. The beginning, however, made me think it was more about the Middle East and a desert themed thing. I also thought it could be a tribute to kung fu style stuff. The interlude at the middle was a pretty intersting touch as well. Anyway, this had a lot of stuff going for it and it worked out pretty well.

war-spawn responds:

Yeah, you're not the only one who thought it sounded middle eastern.

[Constructive Destruction]

Very strange

Well, that was one of the strangest songs I have probably ever heard. I did like at least most of it even though I couldn't tell what was going on. It's easy to realize this was influenced by David Lynch of "Eraserhead" (who I haven't seen any movies of). I'm a huge fan of surrealism but this did come off as a little bit confusing. It was still very impressive on how you handled all of those different instrumentals and sound clips. You really put some effort into this, and it shows.

InvisibleObserver responds:

I'd highly recommend checking out some clips from the film, it might make this song make far more sense, its highly reflective.

[- [Trenches] -]

Trenches?

I guess that judging by the title "Trenches" this was supposed to be more of something that took place during a war. In terms of war, this also worked to give me a feeling of adventure and ambition. I'm not that familiar with Hans Zimmer music, but it definitley sounds like he has a lot of great stuff. It paced itself pretty well for four minutes and I like the overall theme. I am glad that I am becoming more familiar with your work and can give you the praise you deserve. You seem to have the same theme of ambition and courage.

[Para - Smog Step Sanctuar]

It was good

Being such a prolific reviewer, you'd think I'd know what it means to be on the Top 5. Anyway, this was a pretty nice song and I felt it had a lot of spunk to it. It sounded risk-taking but at the same time kind of goofy and even casual. It gave me the feeling of silly old comic books or something like that. It's also cool how it builds up and off to a more peaceful and subtle theme. It also made me think of cars or a bunch of crazy stuff flying or driving around.

[Symphony of Pain]

Hey, great stuff!

I was expecting something good, but not something great! This was a bit redundant, but it made up for it all by having a simply awesome theme to it. I am very impressed by how well this works in using instruments as well as imitating a choir. It did indeed give a darker feeling as one would feel in something that would involve vampires (except "Twilight" of course). The pacing is also nicely done. In adddition to darkness, it also gave an action like feeling or something gritty.
