Halindir's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[THOF part VI]

This brief battle of axes shattering shields and sharpened spears piercing flesh was awesome!
The drums have definitely become clearer and feel more dynamic - if that's the right word.

The Haze Over Fallenguard is getting strong!

GraveDigger87 responds:

Thanks man!

[THOF - part V]

Something is afoot in Fallenguard - a brilliant new addition to the THOF-series!

And yeah, the drums does sound different than usual, hah
I really, really like the hooking riff that first appear at 0:32 it's just badass. Great melodies and a sweet flow.

The outro-riffs were just perfect - and the drum-rollery was pretty cool too

GraveDigger87 responds:

Cool thanks man! I'm trying to tab out this drum beat, including the outro, so i can understand it and use elements from it in the future too but it's being difficult. It was really nice to play with beats different from my usual junk though. Thanks for the review man!

[Felyne March]

It's an enjoyable piece, but you might consider fiddling with the velocity levels, to make it sound less sterile and computerized. (It's a tedious task, but it's worth it, I tell you!)

With the boring criticism out of the way, this piece made me all cheery. Thank you.

Yoshiii343 responds:

Gah! Totally forgot about velocity levels!

Also, you're welcome. Glad to make your day a wee bit better.

[Tale of a Thousand Men]

I don't think I've seen proper folk metal on NG before. This is fucking badass!
The composition seems solid, and it flows well. Great riffs, crisp vocals and some sweet synth interludes

Shmokko responds:

Gee, thanks:D My friend and i are currently working on another folk metal song, not sure when it will be finished, but we'll try to get it done before August. I'm glad you liked the synth in this song, knowing that you are far better at them than I ;)

[...Hush...]

Spinechilling, that's some good proper ambience, hah.

hjhkbn responds:

Thank you sir, I've always been interested in making ambient music xD

[Platitudinous]

This is sweet.
I love the melodies and the atmosphere, but synth that starts around 20 seconds in sounds a little too thin if that makes any sense, but that aside I love this.

BOATMAN responds:

Sorry it took me so long to respond to this! I was trying to go for a kind of empty, expansive feeling, which probably doesn't make much sense either. I was inspired by Flatland, which I haven't read yet, but the way the world was described to me made me think it would sound like this.

[KKS - Nova Flora]

Haha towards the end, it's like Dan Deacon swimming in whipped cream in zero gravity.
I wasn't too excited about the drums in the beginning, but they grew on me, as the melody and the tale unfolded.

KKSlider60 responds:

Yeah, these new instruments are eargasming... *___*
Thanks buddy!

[Space]

I think it has a better sound than the last piece, but as thedethbot stated, it's too short, even for a loop, and it doesn't loop perfectly.
But that aside it's got a very intriguing sound and atmosphere to it. I'd like to see your space ambience in a more complete track sometime, that'd be awesome.

But a very enjoyable loop as it is. Good job!

Atlas responds:

Thanks I guess after finishing up my current work, I'll gladly work on extending this and my other loop. Thanks for the review.

[All Alone]

It loops pretty well, so I just had it running in the background for a while.
The atmosphere is very good, and spacy. There's really not much to say, it's a perfect little loop

Atlas responds:

I'm glad everyone likes this. Thanks for the review.

[Gal Pani X - Serika]

This is why I don't ride elevators.

The piece is very obviously very well made, and the melodies and theme is fun, teasing and relaxing.
It would propably make me buttfustrated, during a hard level of a game, but hah. Good job :)

MrtheNoronha responds:

Thanks, it's not mine actually lol, the song may not really fit the stage, but I like it : )
