Assassin2's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rose At Twilight]

Cool.

Really cool, but I kinda didn't like the sound of the sound playing the starting melody but that's just me, I mean this is hardcore epic RPG bad ass-ness. Hope to see it used somewhere.

[[MvS}(2)Frozen Alone]

I liked it.

I like the first half most. The sounds are much more ice-like to me and the main melody really (maybe by accident) worked perfect with the ambient sound. The choir could have been less hard towards the end though. The second one starts good and seems part of the first piece. But I think the lead instrument was too organic if that makes sense, I get the idea of some lonely yetti or something like that as opposed to a spirit.

Both good though.

MaestroRage responds:

good analysis, we thank you for taking the time to vote and review! I chose the bassoon for the very reason you stated, it felt more organic, personal preference really.

Thank you for the review, we're glad you liked it!

[Wrecked By Deja Vu (A->N)]

Kick ass, seriously.

Classical and Electro makes Synthony. And I love it. It's got the power and elegance of classical and the energy and flavor of techno.
That cello line it begins with is so bad ass, makes me think of Apocalyptica so much only being fast paced and techno rather than metal. I love the dynamic balance between the two elements, I mean I love classical, but I gotta say you make me a fan of the techno too.

I'm a reverb-fan now.

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Thanks for the review and for joining the mailing list :D. Synthony... That's got a nice ring to it. Would you mind if we used that for an album name? Synthony of something would be what it is. I likes.

We'll be coming out with some more tracks soon. We've got a few more in the works and some that are close to finished. Some are leaning to the side of techno or classical so we'll have a bit of variety in the album when it's finished.

Thanks for stopping by and reviewing!

[The Heist (A->N)]

Woot.

I hope to hear more from you two, this is like techy Planet Terror. S'mad when people can work together and it ends up sweet.

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Thank again, really appreciate it.

Man, can't wait to send showcase the next one.... somehow, it ended up even better :D

[- 2nd's Theme -]

Awesome stuff.

Dude this was pure progression. I love the first transitions!

I disagree on Zero saying the timpani roll was too loud, sounded appropriate to me.

If I was going to criticize anything, I would say that maybe you could have progressed the melody as it evolved with the styles you did so well. Kinda like what Zero was saying. But dude, this was cool. Makes me wanna make something now.

SinJim responds:

Thanks for the kind comments, Assassin! I'm glad you liked it. I can definitely tell what you guys are mentioning with the melody development. I guess I was so focused on going through each genre that it never occurred to me to change the melody up a bit.

If I get time I'll check that out too. Thanks again!

PS - Oh yea, go make something so I can see a sweet creation from someone's interpretation of my song!

[Improv Number 1]

Very cool.

What a gloriously out of tune piano. Would be great to hear it a little more nicely. But then again, it's nice to hear a raw piece. And was it just 1,6,4,5? Oh sorry. hahahaah.

BlazingDragon responds:

Gloriously out of tune is a severe understatement. :P But you can hopefully get the feel of the song across despite the poor quality. I don't think I can edit out that line towards the end, lol. That was actually Tamadrum, who was wondering what the chord progression was at that point in the song. XD

Thanks for reviewing!

[The Heist DEMO _RR]

Cool

Sounds like music in an Afghan strip club. Very nice job though, I like it.

RenoakRhythm responds:

lol.... afghan strip club? LOL.... thats the funniest thing i've heard all day....

Thanks for the review.

[- First Flight -]

Yum.

I never heard the original, but this one is really cool. I like how your songs flow and grow. To me it kinda lost momentum at 2.00 and a little after, and I love the keys so why I say that shocks even me. Overall it's awesome (but not my fav of yours).

SinJim responds:

Thanks, I have plans to remake this one and release it on an album I'm doing with another guy. I'll let you know if I get the chance to make it better!

~SinJim

[- Forest of Wonder -]

Very cool.

This is ballsy. I'm glad your work is sought after. The one thing about area-specific songs for games I find a shame is that it means they play so much and the responder is desensitized to it and it loses value, OR it gets stuck in their brain for all eternity. Don't know how yours will go. But I love it.

SinJim responds:

Thanks for the review! Hopefully it will be the latter. I'd rather have it not forgotten, but who knows.

~SinJim

[- The Raid -]

Very cool.

You're like a more modern sounding MaestroRage. I love it. It's kinda minimal and nicely mastered.

SinJim responds:

Thanks for the comments! Glad you liked this.
