philjo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[sd26-dawn]

Incedible effort.

The most varied progression on Newgrounds that I know of.
Excellent choice of sounds, this had me thinking ooh Final Fantasy 8, then Streets of Rage, then Sonic the Hedgehog. All those games have superb music behind them, so well done especially because even though they were brought to my mind, the piece itself remains entirely original.

cfx responds:

I'm utterly flattered!

Thank you for your kind words.

I've got to give another shout to Mick Rippon, my cohort for this piece, who without his ideas, would have made this a much less entertaining piece.

I look forward to being able to bring increasingly better, increasingly skilled, and increasingly varied music to Newgrounds as time progresses.

Pretty Solid

I especially like the driving bass. And the pads and synths. At 2 minutes, you bring in a sweet sounding square stab. This is quality!
The drums could be improved on, in terms of mixdown. the treble ie: hihat etc is slightly too high in volume.
Other than that, It's very awesome in my opinion!

Quite like

Cool idea, sounds nice good mixing lots of instruments happening.

wii1 responds:

Thanks for the Review!

[Come Alive Teaser]

This is cool

Great ideas, I just have issues with mixing on this one. try bringing the clap/snare down in the mix, and maybe beefing up the mix overall with some loudness or punchyness, some kind of EQ anyways. Also, try putting the entire mix through a compressor to see whatll happen. Nice work though, good ideas here!

[ambient iris]

Awesome

First thing, man, the hand drums are MINTED! It's like something from Mike Oldfield's Ommadawn album. Which is a big compliment btw =]
I also noticed a slight reggae rhythm coming through with the piano at certain points. Very well done, Very original and VERY good!

djshadows responds:

Thanks a Lot
Mike Oldfield? I'm intrigued I will have to look int this. :)

Pulled it off well

I'm trying to do the mega man 2 intro theme atm, and man its hard for some reason. This sounds great. Keep it up!
