hasonish's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hybrid II (Extended)]

FINALLY!!

Somebody FINALLY gets the kickassedness that is the Duke Nukem theme, I applaud you whole-heartedly sir.

As for the rest of it...... simply brilliant. It saddens me to think that I may never hear anything as good as this again. This will definitely be going into my archive of music.

My hats off to you good sir.

Lashmush responds:

thanks alot. nice to get peoples hats off.

[Overload (remix)]

Scrumptious!

I have to agree with knotwrite below and say that this song is just perfect. The intro wasn't dragged out at all. Heck, when the first explosion of sound came at 1:30, you sent a wave of adrenaline through me, and again at 1:55. This song is absolutely thrilling.

I'll definitely be looking for more from you in the future.

My hats off to you good sir.

Thank you so much!

[Pirate Pterodactyl]

good I guess...

But it certainly lacked something. Personally, you're instrument choice was great, but it sounded to repetitive, kinda like this sentence. You could have seriously varied the pitches or.... something, anything. Its just the main guitar that you used from the very beginning to the end was..... plain.

This was good nonetheless, so I'll give you that, but it had so much potential. =/

Charem responds:

I suggest reading Firerocker's review above...he summed it up pretty well: Metroid music is, at its heart, rather repetitive. But it's repetitive with some excellent beats, which is what makes it epic. :P

I do agree, I could've put more variation in this tune. You'll notice some strings come in on the second loop...that was my effort at variation.

But, at my heart, I remaster songs, not remix them. That means I keep the original tune intact. Loopiness and all. XD

As for the guitar...yeah, I could've refined it more. I apologize for that. I think this was as good as the current software I had at the time could go, you see.

Thanks for the review; it was very constructive! :3

[_-={Deranged Sanctuary}=-_]

Very well done.

You can easily picture the sadness in this piece, as well as many of your other pieces. You are definitely talented. It seems that each piece you work on shows emotion. I love how each one tells a story. It inspires me to create my own, and I love it.

Anyways, I know this may be a bit late (more like a year late) but Welcome back! It really saddened me when I found out that you had left a year ago. I really loved your music, and I was surprised when I found you had come back. You and your music are my inspiration. I look forward to your upcoming pieces and the stories they will tell.

PS: You'll get nothing but 5's out of me ;)

My hats off to you good sir.

MaestroRage responds:

hello hasonish! I am glad these pieces have been able to inspire you! They are with this intention that I make them, alongside the hope they will entertain you, and take you away to another place if only for another minute!

I appreciate the warm sentiments, even if they are a year late, I hope to stick around for much longer this time.

As for the stories, I used to be a big writer, and was nearly finished my second novel, however I decided to one day to try and tell a story through music, and I was hooked ever since. Every single one of these pieces originate from an image, a story, a raw feeling. Anything else sounds empty to me.

I am grateful for your support, thank you for the review, the support. I am glad you liked this piece alongside the others!

[-586rick- Corneria]

pretty good

It seemed to me that the drums outweighed the synth or whatever that is (im dum when it comes to naming instruments/sounds) But other than that, it was pretty darn good. Keep it up.

586rick responds:

Thanks for the review. I appreciate it.

[HALO--A Spartan's Honor]

Great Music

This was very well done, though it could use a few more beats. The choir kinda reminds me of Metroid Prime, even though it probably didnt have any in it in the first place X_x, and Perfect Dark. But other than that, keep up the good work.

TheAmateurAnimator responds:

I discovered that the choir resembled Perfect Dark after I made this song. I'm okay with that; after all, PD's music is well-made and catchy for such an old game.
Thanks!

[FFX Battle Theme v. himajinizm]

Pretty good.....

But it could use improvement. i love the the music, but you could add more instruments than just the piano, that would help this out a bit more. Either way this was a pretty good cover!! keep up the good work.

himajinizm responds:

Currently, all the FF music I'm doing is going to be on piano =P I WILL however over the Summer, improve them as you said, using different instruments.
