Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Energized]

Another pompous piece! Feels like classical too until the transition, then with a little rock mixed in too. I like the many layers, details: the air horn, the frantic beat, the rich melody (that's the kind of 'shift' I was talking about in the one earlier review). Pause around the 2 minute mark feels almost too subtle, and silent, without a effectual 'fade' or anything leading up to it... but otherwise I like the flow. That melody's both ominous and icy, really nice work, just feels the structure could be better.

[Revelation]

I really like the story-telling ambience at the start, and the victorious outro, and the pompous music of war inbetween too. :) Seems to tell its own story, though as a musical piece it's a bit strange with all three pieces tied together like this - I think for a background it'd be easier with three separate pieces for the individual parts too, or you'd need to pace the whole animation after this. Sounds pompous!

[Dubstep Panorama 2]

Oooh that jittery sparkle-like synth! :D Nice! Seems to have taken a turn for the more ambient this one, chillstep more than dubstep, though it picks up, and seems to move to both house and trance with the latter portions. I really liked the first part of it better, and not really hearing the dubstep in this one either apart from highly infrequent drops, but it's an interesting mash-up of different genres. Feels more like a spin-off than a remake on the original. Well, like a sequel, more-like - so different from the original.

Listening back I liked the simplicity in that one, and how it didn't move so much between styles, but overall sound, pace, and pretty much everything about this really shows the progress since then! MUCH more polished, and dynamic, and easy on the ears. Would've preferred a more consistent piece, but the music's great.

[Power Surge [F-777 Deadlocked remake]]

Think this is the first track of yours I hear with a 'real' kick in it. :) Like the variation, and the contrast between light/heavy sounds. The melody's smooth, focused, and with plenty of added sound detail, and breaks that really 'lift'! The main parts come off sounding somewhat... slow, but apart from that I really like this one! Feels polished and fresh. Nice piece.

[Clash of the Electrons]

You got something good! :) And hey, even some Star Wars-like lasers firing away in the background! Overall I feel it has a Star Wars kind of sound to it. That pompous, battle ready feel you get on the cinema, but... with a twist. It's a pretty sublime hybrid of orchestral and electronic (almost like electro), though I'm not really hearing the dubstep, seems more like general electronic/classic/orchestral/cinematic. Nice work though!

[Back on Track (Zophar Remix)]

Crisp and icy pixel sounding tune with pleasant melodic echo. Chill and awesome!

Thank you for the review!

[One Last Time]

I really like the orchestral vibe in this one, and how it shifts to something different entirely for the breaks. I feel like the one thing this need is a change of both pace and tone, something that really breaks the rhythm. Not dubstep necessarily, but something shriller? Higher? Even though it varies, it keeps the same 'feel' all the way through. Overall though it's a catchy and melodic tune. Nice work.

[Mastermind of Epicness]

'Epic' feels like a somewhat overused word, to the point that it's not really Epic as often as it's used. :) That and Master... pretty big pressure on the track to be good! But it was! Cold, shady, like a villain creeping through the shadows, nearing a bank, planning a heist, doing something... it sets the mood nicely. Love the brass that fanfares in in particular, really contributes a lot, even if it's a short-lived thing! Not bad.

[Broken Circuit]

A pretty suitable title. :) I like it, and the melodic piano really contributes too. Smooth piece.
