KKSlider60's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[=|Dreams of Earth|=]

Nice and clean

Though we use the same instruments, each has got his own distinctive style. While listening to this, I have a bit of nostalgia... especially thanks to those Malmstrom pads you used (long live "Ambient chord 2" XD).
Sounds like an experiment with space rock, or something.
Great job, bro ;D
KKS

5kyLight responds:

Thank you!
And yeah, it's funny how our ambient creations are different but work well together. :P
Can't wait for that Apeiron remake.

[Abridged]

Great job

Ohh, I know that lead! This could fit in a space shooter videogame... it's frenetic, upbeat and "strange" in a good way.

Ain't much cliché either, but umm... what about the ambiance for our split? XD
There would be too much contrast between my ambient/orchestral style and your house/techno-like one. Unless you want it to sound diverse and vary... I'm not sure.

As a stand-alone track this really shines as a diamond atop a carbon hill, it's pretty dynamic, and I wouldn't be able to bring up such music from scratch even if we use the same software. In fact, I'm not able to make a proper review either, since I'm not used to such music.

Sorry for being a bitch,
KKS

5kyLight responds:

No, I'm not going to use this for collab, I just used part of a song that I *am* going to use in this one. That's all :D

Thanks for the review :D

[Dirtier Than Browser History]

Dirty

It's like sexual abuse on distortion, and trust me I've done much worse things than this. In comparison, this looks like the Mona Lisa, while some tests of mine look like Picasso or something.
This is great, harsh sounding as it's supposed to be, abrasive and... dirty XD
KKS

EricFreeman responds:

Yeah, I was trying to make it as filthy as possible. It's kind of the polar opposite of my song "Anti Dubstep", haha.

Thanks for listening and reviewing! :D

[Anti Matter - The Shards]

Great

Such an underrated pearl. How the fuck did I miss it? I need to re-listen to more of your older creations, this is one of those stand-outs, a must-listen.
Perfect track.
KKS

TheAntiMatter responds:

Thankyou.

[=|Orbit|=]

Spacey

Shame on me I still haven't made a single track... D:
I find this enjoyable, it has its ambiance, character, makes me think of a pulsar star because of the beat. Feel free to experiment, just try not to be too minimalist ;)
I want richness and depth of sound, full-shaped surrounding atmospheres. ^^
This though, it's already a good start.
KKS

5kyLight responds:

Thanks :)
Full-shaped surrounding atmospheres? Totally. lol

[Elementary Again]

Groovy

I see some raw potential here. Sounds naive just like primary school years should be, being thoughtless. Like a soundtrack of a relatively happy childhood.
Don't worry about mastering, it's already at a nice point...
KKS

5kyLight responds:

Thanks :D

I dunno why I named it Elementary Again, because I'm way past those years. :P

-SL-

[Upgrade!]

Hmm :)

A Reason user too, that makes me happy (that I'm not alone *cough*) ^^
I supposed this track serves as a test, or more like a starting line - hopefully - for your career. I can hear an african percussion loop, probably from Rex?
Oh, don't be afraid to spam reverb or other effects... Sometimes it's mandatory to use them.
KKS

5kyLight responds:

Yeah, those are a couple kahon loops that come in the Factory soundbank :D

And yes, it is kind of like a "starting line".

Thanks for the review, I'll probably be finished with the Chiptune #5 thing in another day or two :)

-SL-

P.S. you use Reason too? It might make my life way easier with the chiptune remix if you actually sent me the RNS file.. just sayin' :P

[Eyes Open (FINAL)]

Nice work

You made quite a nice track here. I'm not fond of house music, but I found this pretty enjoyable and refreshing, considering the junk circling around.
Good mixing/mastering, good build-up, minimal instruments, and nice groove.
My little complaint would be the repetitiveness, but I understand that this trait is usually required in such tracks.

Very good job mate, and thanks for your kind reviews ;)
KKS

5kyLight responds:

Thank you!

[A little Minimal Subtlety]

Good

Nice little Ambient layer there. Relaxing, a bit ominous and spacey, and it doesn't sound much amateurish.
Zero-bombed to hell though... What a pity. :/
KKS

Kirbyfemur responds:

This song was zero-bombed more than normal, but that's okay. I'll get the number back up eventually. Glad you enjoyed :3
