Phyrephox's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[What are we up against]

Definitely a soundtrack.

People need to understand that "Video Game" genre means the music is usually either a remix or a soundtrack. Soundtracks, like this one, are rarely impressive by themselves, but when put in a good game, they do wonders for the play experience. This one could really create the ambiance for a game one day.

Thanks man I appreciate that :)

[Pushing]

This aritst has proficient slicing skills.

When remixing a song, using a slicer tool is tricky to do right. I dont mean its a hard tool to use, i mean its hard to use as a musical technique PROPERLY. People always end up creating awkward rhythms. You, on the other hand, ardoinitrite.

[Paused In Time]

NOSTALGIA'D

This song REEKS of Half-life 2. Which is a good thing. I love the ambient/industrial mix you have going.

Podel1 responds:

thanks ;)

[Time Shift]

WHAA THAA ...

Good patch choices. I can tell you put some effort into the rhythmic patches around 1:45. Im a techie writer myself, so i KNOW when someone didn't just use presets.

Podel1 responds:

thanks for your awesome review :)

[Heir 2 The Throne]

Repetitive, but still good

Bit more tone variation would do wonders for this piece.

[Nyveus]

Good piece of work.

The synths here flow very cleanly, and I always pay attention to that in techie tunes.
Don't know bout you, but I can very easily see this going in like the credits of a Sonic game. Just sayin.

Plasmatic responds:

The first thing I always do before seriously going into a piece is figuring out how to match up the instruments, so thanks! And haha, I guess I'll go with that Sonic thing as well.

[OOTHQ: The Lost Woods]

an Orchestragasm.

Excellent variation of instrumental style. Keeps the tone within the applicable parameters for a "lost forest" theme. Truly hardcore zelda fans may hate on you for changing the melody in the middle, but be assured, it fit very well with the original. Props, man.

[Cirno's Perfect Bit Rave]

Not bad... Good variety of themes.

This piece had a lacking beginning, but it really picked up the pace as it went. Good work. Keep it up.

Raigon50 responds:

I really cut up the original midi, so I had to kinda peice things together. The start is lacking. I tried adding other instruments, but when I did that, it felt like everything was just blasting at you. Yeah, it is a bit dull at first.

Thnx anyways. ^^

Excellent sound choices.

Very clever choices of sounds, good variation of rhythm.
