Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mr.Mabs Theme]

That percussion boom in the background almost comes across as an unintentional clipping/artifact, but otherwise not bad...

Feels like the melody could maybe be a bit more streamlined, it doesn't immediately feel recognizable and catchy, but flows well. I like the style.

Keep it up!

Mabelma responds:

Thanks for this review too!! Definitely agree with you on this. I plan to revisit it as I work on my games, I’d like to eventually create a catchy tune I can use for most of my animated intros, this being version 1.0 definitely will put your feedback into practice when V2 comes along. 🙏🙏

[60 Days]

Clare can really sing! :) Seems like that's not just the mastering either! Seems the soundcloud link's not working anymore here either though... wonder if she's still making music? Somewhere else? Do you still collaborate; keep in touch? Nice work on this one.

Jabun responds:

Ah yeah she is super talented! I guess she must've taken down her account (SC's certainly not the platform it used to be).

I've not seen or heard from here her since 2016 I think, but I'm sure she's still in the music business in some form? Different circles, break-ups between friends and life goes on and all that jazz, so no hard feelings or anything (I was mainly hanging with her when I was in Lights, Camera, Attraction!, which I left in 2014). Still look back at this collab with fond memories :) Thanks for the praise!

[Dying Star]

Sounds like eighties type pop right here. :) Though maybe a little airier/fresher than it was back then... if that's even possible... does this loop btw, seamlessly? Seems like it might, just can't know for sure via the NG player... nice work on that too if so. If no I wouldn't have minded a bit more build/variation/length to it all.

Love this vibe.

Kehmicle responds:

Thanks so much for your review! Yes it does loop nicely perhaps it needs a trim. Ill double-check!

[Music With Code]

Working with almost psychedelic layers in the middle there. :) It's not a bad start! A little more calculated melodies maybe, a bit more layers/reverb/atmosphere.... can see this going places!

PenncilkDerpnz responds:

Thanks! I apprechiate that! I should get back into music making, but for now I'm more into animation

[Ballad of the Extinct]

I like the mood, but gets a little heavy on the monotone after a while... doesn't feel like it's building towards anything, just going going going, fading... but maybe that's the point huh.

I can see this being used for something where it'd fit just perfectly, but as is: feels a little long. Good to see you still making stuff though!

-cd-

TheMadWasp responds:

This was made to be background music for a video so that's probably why it comes across as long and not building to anything.

[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.

-cd-

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 ;)

[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...

-cd-

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

[Perestroika]

Feels like a suitably celebratory kind of song to mark this occasion. :) Even got some Russian vocals in there? Curious what you're saying? Is this inspired by the Tetris theme btw or is there maybe some classic song the Tetris theme is actually inspired by too, that this one's inspired
by? Only feels like Tetris for a short while though. Good vibes. Good energy.

Anyway Congrats! 1000K. This is PRETTY COOL.

M4Music responds:

Wow, high personality!

Btw yeah, here is Russian vocals and tetris theme
