philjo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[PaNdOrA-Underworld]

NIce One

This is brill man, you are improving by loads, this brings me back to 1997 days of DnB, its rockin, bo bass line! nothin wrong with this, its fucking cool by the way when the acid squarish thingmy kicks in, awesome, more of this matey, more.

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

check out the remix, too bad i don get more votes, my reviews are awesome compared to my votes, i need more ppl to vote so it makes up for fags that vote zero.

[PaNdOrA-Breathing]

mmmmmmm DARK atmosphere

dude, film soundtrack, this is gotta be used for a flash that has some horror in it, whooooo!wOOOOOOOOOO! shiver me timbers, my shoulders are spiking.well good, you is puttin out some quality material recently. keep it up MAN!

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

Thanks lol, I like how this one sounds, and i like the ambient things it does, i think maybe ill work on another like it, exept like the twisted metal black BGM in the lvl with the ferris wheel.

thanks for reviewing!

[PaNdOrA-Hope]

Great!

Thats good dude, the melody is flippin A! woohoo, its quite dark in a way, the sounds arent that dark , but the minimalist nature of the tune and melody is, creepy! sounds like somethings building up, swelling and is about to overflow. great track!

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

thanks alot dude u review alotta my stuff, thanks thanks thanks lol

[Patterns]

Luvly

really mellow, relaxing, not sure about the drums, for me youd be nearing a ten if the drums were softer or, not present at all! i know this coz i prefer the passages of the track where drums are not present. The theme of this track is great, use of the strings, and other orchestral pieces, it sounds great when you think that its completely synthesized! good job mate

nightowl-x responds:

Thanks again. I can't keep myself from adding drums and string. ;) I esp like the second part of the song with the more dnb type of drum line. I also find it amazing to be able to make music that
that sounds like it was performed by a live band or orchestra.

[midnight chronicles]

Sweet

Dude thats some solid use of the reason program. sorry i can spot most reason tunes a mile off, i use it a lot myself, see if you can tell by listening to my music! Nice ideas coming along in this piece of music, try to vary the drums more, i know, i used to concentrate on melodies so much as you have here, that the drums would be neglected. now im the opposite! (check Antibiotics) you are truly a melodic chap, and i like that. i particularly like how its starts quite darak, and really picks up, it rolls along nicely.

nightowl-x responds:

Yo, thanks for the review. Yeah reason tunes do have a distinctive sound, like the scream 4 effects. I usually don't vary my drums too much but i definitly want to improve on them. I'll check out your tunes too. Thanks.

[PaNdOrA-Lost without a cause]

Rave it up and funk it up too

Funky bass, rave madness and SQUELCH as well! u got a lot of qualities in this music. i know the note prgression is simple, but thats sometimes better than making it complicated, here a simple note program overrules complexity! mind you the funk bass guitar is quite complex, with pitch bending etc. i only had one niggle, and that was that it sounded like there was a small gap in the tune, like a frequency range, that hadnt been filled....nothing important dude, this tune kicks AZZ

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

Thanks for reviewing my songs, im glad you like some of them.

[PaNdOrA-sumthin...]

not my thang

trying to nutt my own preference for music out of the equation, well the drum beat clips badly, theres no bass line, and the melody sounds a little feeble. well, maybe i shouldnt be hard on it sounds like it was made using FL (not the best program ever) i dont know if you should improve this, is it worth it? if u think it is, cut the volume on the bass drum and possibly the snare, add some counter melodies and a gritty bass perhaps, and make the current note progression kick some more ass by lengthening the notes, adding another sound to it, giving it a little more frequency range....hope this helped a bit!

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

well it wasnt bad in my eyes, but neiterwas it good, it was jus fucking around, PLEASE dont listen to this and then think my music sucks, listen to the striker, and Armageddeon remix (they are my favs that i made)

[Acid Dance (ReMiXeD)]

Its great!

Sounds brill! Its sped up trance! at this point im concluding that we will have an eternal disagreement regarding the Trance/DnB categorization of music!!!! LOL its not important. im tryin to think of something bad to say, erm, how about well, i heard it clip a couple of times...pfff nahh its all good mate im a lame assed critic sometimes u know 5/5

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

lol thanks, finally some damn feedback on this one.

all credit goes to Fuel, i jus changed it up a lil (and he said i should submit so i did)

[FFX Piano Medley]

Dude

THAT's how you play a PIANOOO!!!!
thats fantastic, you done FF proud there. Sounds well nice, what more to say? GREAT!

Bezo responds:

Thanks dude, I was hoping it'd be longer and include more themes but Newgrounds limit is a paltry 4 megs and I was pushing it as is. ;)

[Vidya Game]

Cant get enough egyptian dude

I really like the Egyptian Modes used in the melody of this music, verry nice! good drums, like slowed down gabba or something!not too complicated yet effective music. well done

Nonsense-Ninja responds:

thanks, i realize its repeditive, but i still like it! glad to see you do too
