Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thief of Void - City Of Lights]

Pretty solid house music! :D I love both the build-up's and the intenser parts. Really heavy on the bass too. Could definitely get bouncing to this! Fades out a bit abruptly though, without plan...

[le epic hip hop XD]

Going a bit overboard with the epic, I think. :) But it's a smooth track otherwise. I feel like the echo almost drowns out the beat though, feels strange with a hiphop beat being so constant that way... during the pauses it's more in style, though maybe some 808 would be good? Some more bass? Something to weigh it down a bit? Overall not bad.

-cd-

[GENTLE WIND]

Another gentle piece, ambient and smooth, although... the way the melody keeps fading in/out (not sure what that effect is called?) sounds a bit off in my ears. Imagine it'd be better without. Smooth melody though!

-cd-

hi mate thanks for that I look into it :)

[The Unknown]

A pretty brooding piece of music! Somber, not directly dark but... melancholy maybe. Contemplative. Ambient. Like clouds. Crystal caves. Drifting through space. Head held low, wandering over an old battlefield... really nice piece. I love how it builds too.

-cd-

[HAPPY SUMMER]

Another pretty happy song! Bit more energetic too, but without stressing. Really digging the Ska-like vibe too. Smooth work.

-cd-

dj-steve-francis responds:

Hi thank mate i got the inspiration on a beach in spain 2016 lots of happy people around.

[STARLIGHT SUMMER]

Really happy and uplifting song this one... and I like the pace too. Not too fast. Everything these days is so it's like a refreshing pause listening to this for a bit... the beat stays steady all the way, but the synth adds in some good variation towards the end. Smooth tune.

-cd-

dj-steve-francis responds:

hi mate thanks for the feedback it was a track I was making a synth album at the time from people like aha.howad johns .vangelis .j.m.j and many more and it was a tea break I was just playing about in the studio and came up with this on I like it and copyrighted as my own as well as the happy summer :) also I have a built-in perfect pich and this helps never had music learning just play anything I think :)

[The Tower]

Really digging the energy on this one. So fast-paced but... calmn, somehow. Wouldn't be as awesome without the Ding though. Special sound, and samples as to which I'm curious of the origins ... really fun, ferocious, laid-back kind of track.

Quarl responds:

Got the vocal samples from a documentary called "The Killing of America," a doc about social issues in the US that have evolved in recent decades. It includes stories of serial killers, race riots, and assassinations. It's some pretty dark material. Had to ignore a lurch in my stomach when I was chopping up the audio.

The style of drum and bass is called liquid which evolved about two decades ago. It includes influences from jazz, funk, and blues. There's alot of drum and bass out there that carries a laid back vibe with those up tempo break beats. Look up Bachelors of Science on Pandora, a friend recommended that channel to me a long time ago. Good vibes CyberDev :)

[F-777 - Medusa]

Another awesome track! Great energy, pace; plenty of variation. Pleasure to listen to.

-cd-

[F-777 - Dubstepah]

Seems you do do dubstep pretty well! Though no matter how much it switches around there's still that jump; rhythm in the background. Moves around great, but that part never really lets go.

-cd-

F-777 responds:

That's actually an amazing point. O.o.
Ima note that for the future. Man you pinned it.

Thanks for the awesome review and listening btw!!
