Hades's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[.:They_Rise_Again:.]

Dark d'n'b

Really cool concept with creating this dark-atmosphered fast-paced song. Kind of like the Addams family on drugs. XD

Really loved all of the sounds you are using, very good melodies and a steady groovy beat. Nice job.

xenith800 responds:

Addams family on drugs lol never thought about that :D

[{-^MP^-} To The Future!]

Groovy

Loved the song, the guitar gave it a Santana-like feel. Really groovy and well played. Your friend really has some serious guitar skills. Great bass background, it was a really elaborate bass-line, unlike the commonly seen three-note ones. The drums were also really cool, liked the fast tom-transitions.

Another good one! Congrats!

Musical-Pants responds:

Thank you.
I handled the drums for this one, while my friend mike covered the bass.
It was actually some old project he'd had in limbo forever, so we just took the bass and used it.
Appreciate your thoughts,

-Pants

[Mario World :platform on speed]

Amazing!

Probably one of the best video game remixes on the portal, and definitely the best Super Mario remix! Great riffs, excellent drums and a perfectly sweeping fast solo! Absolutely brilliant stuff. In the lack of an eleven-star rating, I'll give you a ten. XD

Great job, keep on shredding!

Gorekiller responds:

...Thanks for the very encouraging review ! Speeding up the theme was part of my idea ! I know who to play "air platform" theme like Martin Leung !

[DeshDawn]

Cool

I liked the song, cool choice of sounds, but I think that the bass at the end was a little to heavy for this song. Also, I believe this to be more of a 'Dance' song than 'Industrial'. But those are really minor things, so I think it's a good piece of work. Well done!

DESHIEL responds:

I have problems with selecting gender for my songs.. So everything is Industrial... Since Industrial is everything without singing :)

[Funky Chicken]

This chick has gone funky!

Really psychedelic song, man. I loved the acid-bass and its funky melodic lines! Great use of synth sounds, excellent drum section and overall groovy goodness!

Absolutely brilliant!

daveisnow00 responds:

Thanks mate =D Every loves abit 'o groovyness!

[Hasty Psycho]

Strange, in a good way

Really liked the unusual choice of sounds you made, it really is a good song with that 'Look, I just ran away from a lunatic asylum and I want to party' feel. XD

Very interesting to listen to, I believe it could be used in a variety of games and toons. Good work!

Delerion responds:

Thanks for the nice words. I like making and messing around with strange sounds. The weirder the better :D

[Cadence of the Setting Sun]

Interesting

This song has a very interesting and well-developed percussive section, but I would suggest turning the other instruments down a few points, they tend to be a little loud. The piano part was really nice, it was a good concept to use it as a background for a sunset-scene. Except for the loudness, it was really good!

Joobles responds:

Thanks for the review =D Although too loud? You should listen to my last two songs. They'll knock you off your ass =p

[Battle of Destiny]

Great

Another great song, I must say it is a brilliant boss-battle theme song. However, I believe that the slow part sort of reduced the intensity of the entire song. Loved your guitar melody lines. I don't think you should cut down on the organ if you find its sound to your liking. If it is a vital part of your composing style, you should stick to it, as any musician should use the sounds that suit him best. Good work!

cazok responds:

If this was meant to be used in a video game, the slower part of the song would indeed take away some intensity. However, if it was to be used in a movie the part could for example be used as a short break where the two opposing sides could talk to each other before they advanced at each other once again.

[Happy Jamaican]

Jamaica. ON DRUGS!

Great song, I really liked the trippy slap-like sound which continues throughout the song. The steel drums are a really good addition to any tropical song, but it seemed to me as though they were a bit fuzzy from 0:41-0:49. Really cool summer song, I had fun listening to it.

NibzAU responds:

no seriously... the whole sound thing is NG's i recoreded it at 128kb sounds awesome.. but newgrounds made it sounds horrible like lower quality or something

[Syncotasis]

Send error report? Y/N/XD

Great song, really liked it, I think it used the capabilities of the XP sounds to the maximum. I heard a similar entry on the portal quite a while ago, but this one was a whole lot better! I don't see a lot of similarities with DKC3, and I played it A LOT. Anyway, loved the heavier part at 0:29, it was really cool. Good work!

BriGuy92 responds:

Hey thanks, you've just affirmed that not all of my work is crap after all! Honestly, all of my other songs (of which not many even get past playing on the piano) aren't all that great. I hope to make some better music now that I've discovered ModPlug, because Anvil Studio doesn't even compare.
