philjo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[What is Love??]

too bad its midi-sounding

Dude, nice idea, also the song is a total legend. Im telling you, if this wasnt midi-sounding and something more like reason, fruity loops, more hifi rich sounds, you could be on to something. 90s REVIVAL!

TRUMPETHero1992 responds:

yeah i'm working with terrible software

[Court Of The Mad King]

Nice

For some reason some parts of this seriously remind me of FF7 and FF8. which makes the listening even more amazing. Its the horn sections i think! and the timpani and well a few things. NICE JOB! Theres a lot there actually!

masterjiji responds:

yeah im a timpani player, so that might help. actually, youd be surprised to know that the insane bell part near the beginning was inspired by basic death metal rhythms. wow, wack.

[Paramour]

I feel calmer now.

Really nice, Sounds like something that would be played after a huuuuge space battle, its all over and the survivors are winding down. Because its calm, but also solemn at the same time.

Nice one, great sound.

chucktownbluv responds:

thanks, philjo. i appreciate it. you have some good stuff, too.

[....Closing In....]

Wow great!

Thats so sweeet, it fills my ears on all levels but is spacious at the same time. A winning combination in my view. lots of effects and diddly bits make it sound great too.
Superb use of vocals and bass and drums and well every damn thing, Nice job!

btw great £%"^$& great mix

QuirkyIV responds:

Thanks

[Reasoner- Instrumental #4]

Add your artist details to the last.fm site. When i download and play your tracks, i will give you more play counts. not bad. see you

Reasoner responds:

Thanks for the heads up. I'm checking it out as I type this.

[PandoraTranquil - Transcape]

Oh dude haha

Make it longer and harder! so much its almost perverse sounding.
Just scarred my own mind there. anyway this is really great man 5/5!

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

haha, perverse huh..

thanks for listening and I'm glad you like it!
and thanks for the vote!

[Industry Loop]

heheh smooth man

its smooth but its got an edge to it as well
like a gentle acidic scream
hard to achieve a sound that has 2 edges heheh
nice idea here

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

Hah, an acidic scream, I like that description.

Thanks for the review!

[PandoraTranquil - Sin]

Thats nice.

Cool mate, some sweet sounds shining through in this!
And the mix is really comfortable. Its club-worthy, lounge worthy and its get up and go music.
We are living it up in the "newundergrounds"
peace buddy

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

I hope you like it! I am really trying to kick myself in gear to produce some stuff people will actually want to download :-P

Thanks for the reviews as always philjo!

[First 3 Worlds in mario 3]

HEhehe

Wasnt expecting live instruments. Nice one! Although techinically the timing is off and it needs mastered, Im keeping the wank hat off today and just saying this is cool! hah!

trashcanman responds:

yeah, i wasnt really happy with the timing either, but oh well

[Place of Bass]

Cool

Heh, this track aint afraid of anything
man, try using the" MClass Audio Mastering Suite" between your mixer and audio interface. An easy way to keep volume levels optimal.
this track would be perfect to try it on. Audio clipping has happened!
Nice though!

Hotplurplegnome responds:
