Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[littlMix 01_16_2021]

So much awesome music to discover here. I wonder how you go about making these? Random listening, intentional seeking, favorites a peeping?

Wholesome session here. Closest we've had to a real RadioGrounds alternative in a while now.

Thanks Cyberdevil! I go through the Audio Portal as often as I can and find what tracks stand out to me, then try to string them together into a somewhat cohesive playlist. I'm glad you enjoy it! :D

[Spacey Minimoog FX]

This sounds great. Not sure what Minimoog means but seems suitable. Useful! Looking forward to more!

[Video Games: Fucking Video Games 2]

I do like a lot of video games! You know with a more well-timed cut this would pretty much have been a perfect loop too. Props. Video games.

[SC904 - Where The Space Is]

Straight back to the eighties! :D With a hint of spacey and strange to go with it... reminds me a bit of classics like 'You Take My Self Control' and... I can't remember any others but feels like that era. :) I love the style, and nostalgia, and spacey vibe of it all... hypnotic kind of synth too.

The kick around 1:35 stands out a bit strangely to me, but apart from that this is awesome. Feels like maybe it could've shifted a bit, changed pace or pattern or in some other way morphed a bit along the way - would've gone well with the space theme - in the end I feel like it's missing something. Maybe vocals...? Though maybe that'd break the theme too. Hmm. Would love to hear this in a soundtrack though either way. Imagine this in any kind of space/action/sci-fi thing. Great work.

SuperCat904 responds:

Thank you. In fact, I also think that something is missing. But I don't know what. My next work will be in the same cosmic style. But thanks for the advice! I will try to add a lot more to the next work!

[Light Trance]

Light and uplifting. So nice.

[Kingbastard [ boxclever ]]

Heard this via the Retro Collab, and what a perfect part it played there too. :) Apparently made for a game as well hmm, further research seems to be required... great work.

Seems all the more impressive that it's all from scratch too. In this sample-heavy age of the now.

Kingbastard responds:

Thank you for the comment. It wasn't made for a game, but was used by a game-maker here on NG as background music to their game of the same name, Boxclever.

Always been a "from scratch" kinda guy;) I never liked using samples of any sort. Sure, I've used the odd thing here and there over the years, but primarily my ethos is DYI.


Thanks again.

[(it's the) baja blast]

I thought MGK and Yungblud were the ones re-igniting the Punk scene this year! :D Little did I know we had this going on on home turf! I could get into this, really got that classic punk rock sound... and catchy, relatable, edgy and socially cynical and/or just-about-anything-cause-that's-pretty-punk-too lyricism? :P Hell yeah.

[Christmas special]

A different kind of Christmas. :D Love the vibe. Hypnotic beat. Good build and fade. Heavy bass but not too heavy - the balance feels just perfect. Title works well with it! Can definitely groove to this.

[I'm a Simp For You by The Simpletons]

If y'all really got serious with this I can imagine it actually going places! XD Got potential! Fun to listen to, but just imagine this with perfect harmonies and all, damn... but wait I guess that maybe wouldn't be all as Simpable...

Fro responds:

I could see why to an untrained ear this doesn't sound like perfect harmonies. Luckily our screaming fans say otherwise.
