Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Episode 38 - It's Chutney Glaze! & etc.]

The man, the myth, the legend!!!

This was awesome, fun stuff all the way through, and musical selections off the charts this time too! Just wish there would've been room for Chutney to chip on some favorites too - was looking forward to hearing what kind of content this masterful mind might actually choose to partake in here. His own creations have been raising the bar lately. Bringing life to these stale lands. Igniting a flame of creative reconnaissance that sweeps far and marmalade-like: sticking to the souls of those it touches whether we wish it or no.

Totally unrelated Laurel & Hardy thing: I have a super old board game with those two that we usually dust off during the summer. A snakes and ladders like layout where you run through rooms throwing pies or placing out banana peels for each other. Definitely a big fan of them, though I haven't seen nearly enough of their movies. I think there was a movie made based upon their lives recently though. They basically revolutionized comedy when they came together. Earlier on all slapstick humor had been based upon one comical guy and one 'stiff', but two comics side by side? The way they reacted to and fueled each other just had never been done before. Pretty cool dudes.

Also GoodL: DMX meets David Bowie wasn't out at the time of that last episode recording y'know. ;) And your move... is it really Zimbabwe?! Is littlbox speaking true? Seems slightly unbelievable but awesome if so.

Great talk yet again! And hey @TheReviewTrickster ! Nice cameo.

GoodL responds:

Nah, littlbox is a dummy head. I moved like 10 minutes away from where I was before.

[soft loop with love]

It's almost like Ai... softness with a consistence. As it clicks and breathes, and lives on... ASMR before it's time. Refreshingly ambient and soft, you really don't need more than this to get in a good groove...

The good track was destroyed.

My entire life all of the work I've put the most effort into dies in a fiery crash. My ex moved my phone away from my iPad and the upload died and the iPad froze (first gen) I really liked that one. This song I was super happy with but my computer froze and I lost everything. It was a nice song. Maybe I deleted a really good song once because I don't want to tempt the devil haha (it was really good but then title stipulates I am sellout which I'm not) that one was wrecked oh well

[Rabid Parasite]

Insaaaane! Damn. Title makes sense. I can definitely see this playing out in some neon future/dystopia kind of setting... thought the loudness would be a bit much but it seems the waveform's deceptive sometimes. Feels just right. Nice.

-cd-

S3C responds:

cool, i forgot about this one

[3AM Lounge]

Starts off with a Bond type little twist, goes into some Jurian-type jazz and then... well that's that. Pretty cool bit here though. It's an interesting hybrid...

-cd-

S3C responds:

thanks!

[Adventure]

Feels like the perfect kind of music for a train ride. Just gliding past the fields, the facades, the ever-changing facets of a journey... seems like you're in on the adventure theme too.

Feel like maybe there's a bit much clutter, bit much going on at the same time during the louder parts, but otherwise it's another great vibe. Atmospheric, smooth and unique.

-cd-

JamesHeart responds:

I guess this theme is an easy one to fall in love with, it just feels free to use adventure as a muse. i think i may just kick it here in spirit.

Thank you for the feedback man i will look into mixing things a bit better

[Boxbeat]

This ain't bad. :) The beat doesn't sync all the time, but that's definitely more so me and littlbox not following a set BPM than the beat itself - though I do know it's possible to sync these things together with an extra dose of effort, true masters have showed me that with a few collabs in the past. ;) Best method is definitely rapping over a beat that's all ready though.

Otherwise I feel it's a little loud, certain frequencies feel limited, but I love the flow overall. Great start. Great scratches. Clear and heavy sound quality too. Can't not be bugged each time things get off sync part but I looove what this could be! Solid practice.

-cd-

DJDureagon responds:

This is what practice is for, so thank you for telling me what you think and really articulating what you'd like to see changed. I'll be sure to take another crack at it. I did it fairly quickly but with enough effort I'm sure it can be miles better.

[Better Than The Book - Head Above Water (feat. Cyberdevil)]

Just gotta say this is still awesome. :)

-cd-

Jabun responds:

I agree CD Many thanks! XD

[Poopy Park Crawling In My Skin]

Your singing voice really is... something else! XD So this is how you sound hmm... the audio quality really isn't bad though. Can't help wonder what a serious take on this would've sounded like...

Loved this song too.

-cd-

Wegra responds:

Nah trust me my serious singing voice anint that good

[Sea of Our Own]

I liked this one. It's nice and ambient at the start, has a few shifts, goes into a few different types of music.

There's a tribal tone to it too. Exotic. It feels like you're sailing or journeying somewhere, and it's just really relaxing and soothing. I don't feel like it goes the way you expect it to go either. It jumps a bit and keeps you entertained all the way through, and though it end suddenly... it feels just right too. Not bad!

-cd-

JamesHeart responds:

I Wish i though about the ending a bit more to be honest. these kind of just serve as me staying active in my craft, trying new ideas and testing music.
I do this to see the reaction of these different ideas, to see how they are persevered and the feedback it greatly appreciated

Thank you
I'm glad you like it
