Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cyber Junk - Atmos]

Really cool how the beat starts building something about halfway in, and wooooah the hype when it does! It starts off simple but moves into a Cyberpunk-like kind of place which is... really pretty impressive. Love that build!!! Just imagine if it kept going after it...

[Cyber Junk - Krinkle]

It's got a nice Christmas kind of feeling like this one. :) Appreciate the varied percussion, the glistening sounds and just upbeat vibe of it all. Feelgood music. Also feels like it's 'almost' orchestral, just a couple more layers away from the ultimate richness.

[From Me to You (Sybol's Lo-Fi Flip)]

So dope. Lofi but so vibrant with the piano, and both melodic and appreciatively unpredictable with those chops. Variation just right. Sound tone maybe a little flat somehow but maybe that's the tape effect? Chopped up that way... wonder how much/if any work I've heard here might've been made like that. Sounds like a fun way to do it.

[Eyes Peeled]

That wavy synth at the start has me thinking of Night of the Living Dead. :) Or Gorillaz M1A1... which coincidentally was heavily inspired by Night of the Living Dead. XD

It really changes after that though, becomes all the more orchestral, while still retaining that iconic foundation...

The sound design's impressive, the clarity's impressive, the atmosphere keeps building... gonna be pretty amazing to hear this in the series! So vibrant. So clear. and indeed: so eerie.

ChordC responds:

Both are great songs :D, thank you for the detailed review :).

Just another piece that I tried to make as interesting as possible, thanks for coming here ;)

[~NK~ "Nothing Less" wip]

Legit banger in the making here! So far sounds great.

[Star Facility]

Felt like the vocals were a bit far back in the mix at first, but maybe it just takes some zoning in to those particular tones at first, by the end of this it was sounding just perfect... getting some Daft Punk vibes, though with a bit more melancholy/monotone/cynical maybe tone. Matches the description well... I like the vibe but I do wish it was a little brighter somehow. XD Feels like the music is. Message not always as much. Or sometimes it seems to be. Sometimes no... that said my own lyrics are way more depressing. Man. What am I complaining about.

We do see reward though, even if it's all in the small things, the interactions we have with people, the little glimpses of appreciation and betterment we find along the way... on our way out to the quay. To the cosmos. Lift away. Drift away. Better place. Up in space. In escapes. Sometimes: it's all the music...

JamesHeart responds:

Thank you ^^ was going for a more old lofi vibe so i didnt worry to much about the mix.. maybe i should pull the vocals forward a bit and maybe clean them a bit

Melancholy is my specialty and the message is a reminder that we still have to do our best to be the best ... maybe not for the currant world but a future dream that might not even be ours...

Cyber you always have the right words thank for this <3

[Time For Everything and Nothing]

Funky, grungy, harmonious, jazzy, a lot of a lot of things with this one... bits of it give me some real David Bowie vibes. Almost a little Ska too. Love the mixture.

[littlMix 01_09_2021]

Yeaaah this was a good one! :D And I thought the latest intro might've been the best one too, but vocal effects here: next level. Mixes in like part of the music. Not a single even remotely weak track with this one...

-cd-

[littlMix - 01_30_21 (+ Bitbeak Interview)]

Daaamn what a dope-ass way to start this! :D Both the vocal blrsplrlrlrlsprprpr (hope I spelled that correctly) sound effect and that bangin' Kawaii Sprite funk. Quarl's always dope too. Great ending too. And interview! :D Been missing this type of stuff.

Knox memories ahh. Super curious about BitBeak's earlier names now hmm, wonder if they're findable... those creations of ancients aren't a thing to not be proud of though! It's what made you who you are man! Embrace the old and awkward and all potential entertainment value therein! :D

How people start listening to music: littlemix yo. :P Or at random. Or via other recommendations. The Tank Tribune playlists are great. too. As soon as someone picks something up the spread really does grow exponentially... feels like that's the best way to find the good stuff, though actually just digging through the bad is at times all the more rewarding. Potentially finding the gems that nobody else finds.

Anyway good stuff y'all. Great interview. Creation in all forms really is cathartic.

Hope to hear more like this and just might tune into some of those less commented creations soon...

[Flamenco Brain Dance]

RSN hmm, wonder what that stands for now? For a short while at the start here the intro reminded me of the GTA III one back in the day. A little jazzy classy with similar melody... before it totally flipped out and turned into that trademark Quarl kind of track that just can't be categorized or compared. :P Love the ambient/sparkly bits here too, like walking through a cold winter night..

This was dope from start to finish. The shifts really keep your neurons sparking.
