attemptedperfection's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[dj_padman - Klung]

Wow

This is really good. Especially when it kicks it up a notch halfway through or so. That's when the track really starts going places. Wish I knew how to glitch like that... Excellent work.

dj-padman1 responds:

thanks, glad you enjoyed this little track. Just soak your snares in distortion and degrade them to 4 bit and you're practicaly there!

[Get Up, And Go!!!]

good stuff

Nice job on the beat, good job on the melodies, and great job on the production. Overall, it sounds a bit generic, though. Then again, that may be a matter of taste. Either way, 5/5.

Stealth-Emergence responds:

Whoa thanks AP I missed this, I hope I haven't kept you waiting for a reply too long.

Yeh it does sound generic, I don't do techno that much, as you can see, but I'm always trying my hand at different things so I'll remember to try and make them less generic in future (should I choose to do another techno piece)

Thanks man

Peace Out

[Gunshot *BOOM!*]

lots of potential

I love the melodies/harmonies on this one; they go together really well. It lets me know that the dissonance on your most recent one wasn't unintentional; you know what you're doing. However, there isn't really much else to this song. Add in some ambient chords in the background, some more complex percussion, a more prominent bassline, some more interesting synths, and maybe some cross delay and effects to fill things out, and you've got yourself a hit.

Karco responds:

Yeah, it was more of a chase-scene loop thingy I was doing for a change of pace... and I have no idea what the heck cross delay means. XD

[Phantom Zero]

nice.

It's ambient, it's dissonant, and... well, it's a bit choppy. but overall, I like it. It would work well in a dream sequence, or more specifically, a nightmare sequence. Or maybe an other-worldly battle. Very moody. Good work.

Karco responds:

Thanks for reviewing. Glad you like it. =) Yeah, those were weird MP3s I was working with.

[A regular day (2:16)]

Mogwai, eat your heart out.

Beautiful. Sure, it's simple, but I don't care. The tone on the guitar is superb, the reverb/delay suits it perfectly, as does the melody, and the noise completes the whole picture. Maybe I would've liked to have heard another element or two thrown in for good measure, but it holds its own as-is. Congrats on your 50th submission!

WinTang responds:

Thanks mate - I'm going to use this in a play probably, been toying with the idea of adding some floating piano notes but eventually decided that I'd go with Less Is More. If you want to have a go yourself, feel absolutely free :)

very nice.

I don't think I've ever seen a 10/10 maintained after 7 reviews... Don't worry, I'm not going to ruin it. The intro is wickedly trippy. I like the drums much better on this one, especially the panned clicky-noises; everything seems to fit well together. Overall, this track has a lot of energy; almost too much for its own good, but that light synth playing above everything else keeps things in control. Well done. 10/5/dl.

Critical-Collision responds:

Thank You attemptedperfection, ahh you like the drums better on this one.

Too much energy? energy is good, glad you like the track

Thank You

[SR - St. James]

great stuff

This is really friggin' cool right from the start. That bass sounds fantastic. The whole song is just really well-put-together. Great drums too, as usual. This is now one of my favs. I likes it. I likes it muchly. 10/5/dl.

SineRider responds:

Wow thanks man. You now have my hopes up for this song. You see when I uploaded this it basically went unnoticed except for one review.

Thanks again I really appreciate it =)

[RGH: Shade of Corruption]

This is really cool...

Like others seem to have said, I think this would probably fit better in the hip hop genre... I'd love to hear some killer rapping over this... maybe I'll try it out when I have access to my studio... don't be surprised if you receive a version of this with vocals several months from now. XD anyway, this is a great track; love that bass. I wish I could get bass like that... friggin' groovy like a record. 5/5.

RyeGuyHead responds:

haha, thanks, I hope you do decide to rap to this.

[-={CC}=- Pushing Beyond]

good stuff

I loved everything except for the drums. From the intro, I was thinking "wow, this is pretty awesome." And then the drums came in. I wanted to like them, I really did; they're unique, which is a good thing. Unfortunately, they just didn't work for me. Maybe if you changed things up a bit more... Otherwise, the song was great.

Critical-Collision responds:

Thank You attemptedperfection for your review, too bad you didn't like the drums :(

Thank You

[Scarecrow song 1 (0:27)]

good times...

I made my scarecrow song to be the imperial march, if only because I thought it was hillarious for it to be played on an ocarina... anywho, very nice work on this interesting concept; orchestrating "some random person's Scarecrow Song" XD
it's actually quite beautiful; rich chords, zelda-esque strings/winds... I'd go as far as to say it matches the quality of the game's actual melody-sequences. now THAT'S saying something. On top of that, it loops awesomely. Great work. ...now make something longer!

WinTang responds:

OMG that's like a Starcrow... Scarewars... nah don't work.

Thank you, thank you, I tried hard to make it Zelda-y. Longer things are on their ways!
