Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tha ReGOONion (13 Boyz Deep)]

What a banger! What a grand and groovy collaboration with the OG Goons I probably should know about but don't know if I ever did as this particular collective. After this though...

Loved the origin story at the end in particular, extra energy there, but all verses are solid, and the production impeccable. Funky fun and fantastic, both entertaining and easy on the ears, easy to favorite.

Nicely done y'all.

my guy!! remember you from back in the day. Thank you for the love CD

[𝔑𝔰𝔦𝔫 𝔰𝔦𝔫 𝔞𝔦 𝔰𝔥𝔞𝔯𝔞 (Ambient special)]

Very cool this one... it reminds me of JRPG games I grew up on, like Golden Sun or Breath of Fire... the atmosphere's there from the start, but it builds nicely along the way too...

It doesn't feel quite as dark to me in audio as the description seems to portray it, more so adventurous, exciting, a quest, a mystery, a journey... not necessarily straight up purgatory!

Love the sound anyhow, it's tense but also pleasantly atmospheric. :) I think the little whistle sounds contribute to that impression too...

FantasistEldrun responds:

Thank you for your comment, to be honest you're pretty right, did what I could to make a solid description but the music is probably one of my most atmospheric ones x)

And also, thanks for your endless support from the moment you found my profile, it is awesome to see someone likes my songs, whatever the other songs it can be compared to :)

[Reality through the perception sphere (wip dnb)]

This is a good one really. :) Solid groove. Love dnb too.

The first half in particular really feels full-fledged, the second half... maybe that's the WIP part more so. Still not bad!

Man this takes me back to the F-Zero type racing games I grew up with... love the style.

Composition may not be as impeccable or complex as your 2.5 hour ones, like The Freeze (or wait that was my name, I mean, wait was there another name...) for example, but still solid man! Just the fact that you made this in a mere hour is crazy impressive really. Hope you recoup some sleep tomorrow!

I didn't even realize the second half was the first half duplicated btw, that in part definitely explains the production speed. XD

Killing it here too, low on time or no you're still dope on atmosphere and flow!!! Love dnb too.

larrynachos responds:

I haven't been naming them, but I'm beginning to wonder if that was a mistake lol.

I'm glad you liked it! It was very rushed but it might be worth revisiting after the dailies are over :)

[i dont make music anymore]

How is this Bluegrass though? XD

Don't you ever stop man! Even this is dope. I hope you note and cope. Your beats are hope and so. All groove and groping flow. A magic and frozen mold. To build on and open souls.

[Cut Off]

Strange how the beat itself seems to embody the essentials of vehicular voyage, and then there's that build of rage... reminds me of Paranoia Agent too, kinda, a little...

Dope work, just cuts off all too quickly!!!

[Skeleton Dance]

Now this one I could rap on. :3 Dope beat! It's got that extra jingle and rhythmical wrangle too...

-cd-

[Cyber Death]

This starts so gritty and good, ominous, rough and energizing and then... suddenly devolves into a slow but funky wonky wondrous kind of rhythmical trip with unpredictable and jumpy dips chops rhythms yet hella rich bass and kicks... it's almost like this is a personal challenge hmm, is it? Can I rap to this? XD The creative flare's there but tempo and rhythm's... unconventional!

I'm honored though! Shall keep spitting fo shizzle - be it to this or some of your other beats, and you keep doing you good dude! The work you make always manifests in the most creative and at times crazy ways, yet always with a killer groove that just breaks your face, they're a gift to the word man! :)

<3!

Father-of-Death responds:

thank you!!! :)

Yea this beat is very odd would be weird to rap to but wanted to make something in honor of ya bro!

[Tunetober24 #04]

Tearout huh, a mix between riddim death step and dubstep... I'm learning new things here.

For the first half minute or so I was starting to think I might have to rap on this one too, such a good build, atmospheric, rythmic and ominous... but then ehh. XD

I wonder if I've ever run into more than 1 of the aforementioned four genres earlier myself... this is new to me. May take some time to appreciate. The genre definitely suits the season, and the sound design's hella elaborate here, if a bit repetitive in beat beyond the screams and all. Not as huge a fan of this style (yet) but who knows, maybe in time...

Props on trying new things man. Composition/mix = solid! 👍✨

larrynachos responds:

It's definitely an acquired taste! Real tearout artists have sound design so dense and crazy, I crank that shit UP even though it's basically just a tinnitus giver xD

Here is some tearout by some real artists lol:

shit goes so hard *^* I played some at work once and my manager told me it made her want to kill herself lmfao

[Listerine]

Still so dope! Never left a review here back in the day so just gotta remedy that real quick.

May still be one of my favorite beats on NG, if that's not just sentimentality speaking at this point. The sound's so clean though, ominous, soothing, with unpredictable but rhythmic percussion, and somehow it's both not too loud yet plenty energetic...

Tis a vibrant and careful earwash too. Good stuff.
