Midnights-Ocean's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Creo - Ahead of the Curve]

Well, that was new for me. Never heard those styles mixed quite like this. Wish it wasn't quite so repetitive. For the uniqueness, I can see why this was on the front page.

[[Crysis] La Skate]

They're a bit bity in places but I like the effects. Definitely fits your suggested theme.

JackRocker responds:

Thank you!

[[Crysis] Victorious]

Makes me think of a tropical beach party. Cool.

JackRocker responds:

Thanks a lot!

[Green and Yellow]

Got potential. I like what you did with the bass. This would be great to build a tune from. All you'd need is a B section to change things up. I could see the B section being where you could write in a place for vocals, then go back to what you have now and keep it nice and clean.

JackRocker responds:

Thanks a bunch! This one was a failed one in my opinion. I got writer's block, got lazy, then decided to just posted it. Thanks for the review though!

[Just Like That?]

Very cool vibe this has going. Only thing that could have made it better for me, would have been a change up in the main sample loop half way through the piece. Shame you lost the project file.

JackRocker responds:

Yeah. I might try to use the original sample again sometime and do something totally different with it. It was an enjoyable piece to work with. Thanks for the review!

[Trance With Me (full)]

Progressive.

I really like how this builds. You actually have to listen and see where it goes. Sound palettes are good. A few of the transitions could have been just a tad smoother but nothing major. I like the theme of the melodies. Sounds like some thing that would be played during a video sequence of deep space. Very cool that it starts off slow but picks up half way through. 5/5 on site, 8 to 9 out of 10 personally :) .

[lone nebula]

Very nice.

Fits the title very very well. I like it. Puts you exactly where it should. My only complaint might be that it doesn't go on longer and evolve more. 5/5 on site, 8 to 9 out of 10 personally :)

[Zeta Groove]

Awesome

Love the patches used on this. Has got that spacey melancholy feel to it, while still being upbeat. The way the delay is used on the main instrument is simply excellent. 5/5 :)

DarkValentine responds:

Thank you

[Searching Though the Clouds]

Very nice.

Very pretty. Title fits very well. Though the melodies are fine, the execution feels a little stiff or forced in places. Still very much an enjoyable piece. Rated 5 on site, 7 to 8 out of 10 personally. :)

MetalJ0se responds:

I came up with the two chord progressions separately (probably months between the two) and thought they sounded good together - however I could understand if someone else thought that there was a bit too much contrast between the two. The lead over the second chord progression could probably have used a little more work...

Thanks for the constructive criticism!

[A Normal Day in Nature]

Title is very fitting.

Melodies are pleasant but some of the instruments could use a change in patches. This would also greatly benefit from a less repetitive, more interesting percussion track. Not bad :) Title is very fitting. 7 out of 10.
