Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-‘til the end-]

Ooh this was good! I may not be recognizing all the similarities, for example I'm not sure I've ever listened to Dimrain before, Xstormer sounds familiar but I'm not sure about his style either... relating more so to the Waterflame music I do know it feels like you both did the classics justice and managed to bring in your own sound here. It sounds ominous in an original way, with synth that fades in and out, energetic beat in back, good melody, good breaks...

Nice work, and tribute! This was fun to hear. A bit crisper dnb and you'd probably have the ParagonX9 sound mixed in too. ;)

Creeperforce24 responds:

Thanks mate! Glad you like it! Music is more of a passion to me then art, even though both are a part of me

[Moneypulation (Instrumental)]

It's really an interesting mixture of suitably seasonal and positive, and a little spooky and foreboding this one. :) Especially the first part... though with the middle part too the strings are a bit tense, it's not entirely cheerful... and yet it does feel festive all the way. Then there's the dreamier; almost romantic 2:10 > part, really like that bit...

The sound's rich and riveting all the way, with good breaks and builds. Love the jazzy elements and breaks. Subtle percussions. Instruments all layer well...

This turned out great! 👌✨ Thorough; vibrant work all the way.

ChordC responds:

Heheheh, going with one of those happy festive songs but grounded with reality. Seems like the captures the mood well, the festive Christmas spirit with distorted views on how we celebrate it the modern way.

Thanks, I always try to make my songs unique in their own wat, glad you enjoyed it :)

Looking forward to collaborate again in the future ;)

This really was beautiful.

I may not be moved to tears here, as others seem to be, maybe you have to be in a certain place in life; a certain state of mind for it to have that effect on you... it feels more so soothing, and calming to me. A sequence of re-occurring leeway and optimism. Like a new breath of life with each phase. Or another kneading in an ongoing deep-tissue massage... not quite like that, but to a similar effect, it's like a wave of encouragement and acceptance continually washing over you with each part of this...

Very nice work. Very cool how it keeps building, and falling, too. And yet manages to feel like the same piece all the way through. It never stagnates, yet never really changes either, and the pauses seem almost like part of the sound... interesting structure.

mididucc responds:

Thank you for your comment! Your comment is just so beautifully written to me, I really appreciate your kind words. Merry Christmas to you if you do celebrate it. I hope you have a great day with your loved ones.

[Winter Woes]

Atmospheric, smooth... this was a good one. De-stressing.

Interesting imagery to go with it too! XD The mushroom to the top left seemed almost to float, I'm imagining a sky of mushrooms now, slowly hovering; swirling around as this plays, like snowfall in a world without gravity...

Love the guitar part too! Such a clash. It's like a whole other track allofasudden there. But it merges... unexpected dose of energy along with the ambience too.

larrynachos responds:

I don't know what I was thinking with the guitar part lol. The rest of the song is a perfect winter vibe but then it comes in our of nowhere.

[Tunetober24 #29]

Heeey jungle! This seems relevant: https://youtu.be/_pFRF5-XuYk

Definitely all the more jungle flare here though with the ambience too, soothing, wholesome, long too... good stuff yet again!

-cd-

larrynachos responds:

Star power drummer is such a vibe, I love his vids. It's so rad to see someone playing breaks live, dude's got mad skill.

Glad you liked it! We're almost through!

[Free of Charge]

This is so good. So seasonally suitable too... atmospheric stuff, dope instrumental!

-cd-

Aalasteir responds:

Super thank you!

[Butter Beat]

Oh this is dope! Gritty, bassy, and so smooth... percussion's on point too.

Is butter a metaphor hmmmmmm... I'll se what I can do!

-cd-

Father-of-Death responds:

I mutter that butter is making me shutter, I am the butter cutter, I can slice it with a ..... rudder?

[Picochu's Theme]

This was soulful! Wonderful work y'all! Though a little short... it's almost like an introduction.

Y'know, little personal jingles like this would be a very cool thing in podcast intros, if they don't take too long to make hmm...

-cd-

Aalasteir responds:

Yes, that's something I'm thinking about having music in the podcast.

[Tunetober24 #20]

Hmm no description on this one? The music does speak for itself for sure but curious as to what stories and/or impressions, experiences or emotions accompany the tune...

Jumpy, smooth, a little chaotic but with underlying exuberant groove anywho!

Nice one.

-cd-

larrynachos responds:

There's no story, just some sound design and a house drum pattern

[Tunetober24 #19]

You really set the bar high for yourself man. :) This wasn't bad at all IMO, though maybe not the catchiest ditty you've done, after the minute mark it somehow feels a little more hesitant, like the energy's dying down, resolve waning, and then it really does, so maybe that's an intentional de-escalation with the main melody too... love the dnb and slowdown at the end otherwise, may be you're just stretching it out for time but it sounds awesome.

Hey had you done Jamuary some other year? I was sure you had, not seeing it in your profile though so maybe not huh... if you live in a part of the world where January's mid-winter it feels like an even bleaker time for a challenge, I don't know if I could manage that one myself, but Tunetober... you can do it man! You are doing it!!! Some days are good; some days less so, that's just how it goes, just know every single one of these so far has been at the minimum hella creative and enjoyable.

All the best man; may tomorrow feel better again!

-cd-

larrynachos responds:

It was mostly to stretch the song out because I was out of ideas, but it's also am expression of how I'm slowing down and running out of steam.

I never participated in Jamuary, I was thinking about doing it next year, but I'm tired boss 😅 Don't really want my tracks getting buried by everyone else's dailies. You and I are the only fellas I know doing tunetober, so it feels more special <3 And yes, the cold is depressing and leaves me devoid of energy. Minnesota gets it baaad x.x

Thanks for hanging out CD, we're almost through!
