philjo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[ F l e s h & B o n e ]]

Fresh, solemn and uplifting

Nice everything. too bad about the micophone hiss, but its really ignorable since the song cuts through it like a heros' sword.

I recommend you to anyone with the slightest admirable taste in music.

once again, great is the operative word for your music.

Kingbastard responds:

yeah, the hiss is a bitch, but I use very basic gear so there's not a lot I can do about it, plus I like a bit of noise on a recording:)
Thanks for the review, appreciate it.

[[ m a t u i t ]]

You'd go down a storm in venues.

just bring yourself and a guitar. This goes above 10. why cant I click above 10...
such a clean sound and a really subtle phasing on the vocal, VERY NICELY DONE!!!

Kingbastard responds:

THANKS:P

[[ lovesick ambulance ]]

Fantastic

Nice going. Really nice. is that you playing and singing, great stuff man great great stuff.

Kingbastard responds:

it is me, yeah, who else would it be:)!! Cheers for the comment.

[threaded together]

solid

Slight clipping in the mix toward the end. never mind that was amazingly and strangely oriental somehow, with RnB undertones. 500% for originality anyway. Nice going!

Saylek responds:

thanks for the review, the mix towards the end is on purpose, i made the track fade out while addin another few seconds of the beat. sounded gud to me back then, but yeah it does kinda sound like a mistake now that you mention it. thanks again! hope you comment on my next piece which should be out preety soon. i think i wrote to much, did i write to much? Yeah i wrote to much.

[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.
