Setu-Firestorm's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Life as a Breeze]

Great song, but not so great title

Trust me, I won't say anything about the title other than that it doesn't really fit the piece at all. However, that's not to say that the piece itself isn't good quality.

The compression was well executed, and it had a nice sound to it, although the percussion solo in the middle of the piece seems a little drug out (but that could just be me). I would definitely layer just a tad more onto what you have already; it's nice. Also, set up some song structure, because the whole last half of this piece is completely in another world.

Other than that, great job.

Vertigo1986 responds:

Wow thanks for the review! this will defenitely help me out when i go back and revise it!

[Para-Noid - The King To B]

Interesting

It would be interesting to see where this piece goes.

What I find funny about this is that that bass slide sounds so out of place but yet it blends so well once the percussion kicks in.

The composition is very odd, to say the least, but I really have no particular points to harp on. Good luck on finishing this.

[==(The First Flight)==]

A very flowing piece of awesomeness

SBB, I swear everytime I listen to your new pieces, you never fail to impress me.

This piece is well compressed and well composed. It has a very soothing visual it gives even as each new instrument is layered on.

Awesome work, SBB! Keep it up!

[Illusion+Reality]

Niiiiice

I find it funny when you hear some of NG's artists who would beat out the pros in a talent faceoff.

The rap has great rhythm and smooth delivery, and even the piece isn't mundane and irritating like much professional rap is.

This is certainly a great work! Keep it up!

StealthSteve responds:

I'm not going to say that I'm better than all of the pros out there, but yes, I think I could definately wipe the floor with a bunch of them. Lyricism is not what really sells though, but we all knew that. :P

Thanks for the support my man.

[{dj-N} Tears In My Eyes [Full]]

Ah, the few, the good, the trance

It isn't often that I hear trance on NG where the mixing, EQing, and mastering were the shining dose of perfection. Furthermore, the composition is well layered and has that nice kick needed for just about any club DJ.

Great job! Keep up the good work!

[RGH: Spooooky Loop]

Kinda RE-ish

It sounds like it was composed with a Resident Evil inspiration.

It's very well done. It's just a shame that it's only a loop.

RyeGuyHead responds:

No really inspiration, besides the day of evil.

I could make this longer, but i really like the way it wraps

[The monks]

Nice intro

Mixing-wise, you seriously need to crank that guitar up and I believe I heard a bass; that too needs be brought up in volume.

Otherwise, it still fits into the awesome ranks with that clip.

Bonemill responds:

Glad you liked it :)

[The Machinery of Autumn]

Very atmospheric. A tad repetitive.

Although it didn't really build to a climax, it sustained and developed adding more instrument layers. This would be ideal for background music to just about any kind of scene.

kevs91 responds:

Yeah, I know what you mean. It didn't really climax, but that's not really the feel I was going for. I think it could be pretty good background music in the right situations, too.

Thanks for the review.

[==(Goodnight)==]

Very very well done

This piece has a very calm tone to it. It's very peaceful and meditative. While I'm not too keen on your soft whine-lead synth leading the melody (which is just not what I would have done; it wasn't bad), the instrumentation as a whole really worked to create a serene atmosphere.

Very very good job, SBB! Keep up the good work!

[Stimulus Novae[Remix Preview]]

Nice beat

This piece has an interesting sound to it. It pulses with percussion that was well-compressed and keeps moving like a traditional club piece.

Congratulations on a job well done.
