Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Noir]

Ah, you posted this here as well! A somber, senseful and sensationally ambient atmospheric track! Builds up the mood nicely, though it all ends... so soon.

Jabun responds:

Hehe, glad you liked it. It's a shame... it was for a competition and the MAX length for submissions was 30 seconds. I'd really have loved it to go on for longer. 30 seconds is not long enough for much!

[TBP - ＡＵＲＯＲＡ]

Another smooth and atmospheric piece! Nice work.

-cd-

larrynachos responds:

Thanks!

[TBP x LSD - Ｍｉｄｎｉｇｈｔ Ｎｉｇｈｔｍａｒｅ]

Really like the shift in this one, when it all slows down, and gets heavier and heavier and heavier... gravity increases. Tension amasses. The mood sets in. I was starting to think that maybe things just can't feel very dark with the synthwave genre, but this proves me wrong. Got a pretty eerie/heavy feel to it towards the end. Probably my favorite so far.

-cd-

larrynachos responds:

Glad you could look past the clipping and poor mastering. This is my personal favorite as well :D

[✧ ｓｔａｒｃｈｉlｄ ✧]

The star sound sings like a voice in this. Bright, melodic, yet though the drop seems to come on time and time again... it never happens!! Sounds great, but like a little something's missing.

-cd-

larrynachos responds:

I really dropped the ball with the drops. I thought a minimalist approach would be appropriate, but I guess I was wrong lol. I'm still really happy with the intro though. I probably should have just expanded on that part more lol.

[Iηнυмαη Eяrør]

Pretty trippy, but smooth and suitable. It all floats together nicely. Feels like music that could've been in a Mario game... or not. Not really. Just a similar style. Really like the industrial background beat too, and the flute... for a while. Favorite part's probably the jumpy synth around 1:50, and the dubstep that came after that... doesn't really flow with the rhythm I feel. Think that part could've synced better, just doesn't really match, but overall: great!

-cd-

larrynachos responds:

I don't see anything wrong with the bass articulations. Listening again, they might sound like they come in a split second too late, but honestly I think it's fine or even better that way. A little imperfection to keep things human.

[Born Again]

Fast-paced and energetic! Punky, poppy and full of energy. I like it! Though I don't think it sounds like it explicitly it really reminds me of Punk-O-Matic btw.

-cd-

larrynachos responds:

Punk o matic played a huge role in the events leading up to me becoming a musician. I used to spend hours making songs with pom2 back in 2010

Glad you liked it! Thanks for stopping by and writing all these reviews :)
