Echo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[FFX_Battle_Theme [Box-Killa]]

NICE!!!!!

Wow, i heard the original, adn although its really a different style from this, i must admit that this music rocks.

I can't belive how u managed to change the original into such a mellow ambient song. Its just so perfect. Nice work.

Background couldv'e used a bit more depth and although the main melody wasn't very varied it still was quite a good job in retrospect.

Overall, this is a great remix of a well liked original. This is a great piece of music. Nice work.

[Asinine Display of Faith]

Ah yes...Heavy industrial would definetely fit...

Not a bad job although the voice thingy did spoil it a bit in my opinion. Maybe you could amke it a bit less grating and a bit more varied and you'd have a great song.

Melody was a bit repetitive throughout adn depth was quite off. Drums were good but a bit too staticish for my liking.

it doesn't sound taht bad for an industrial song, and although i'm not a fan of this type of music, i must admit taht your song wasn't bad. If you realyl want to make industrial, you should get a few pointers by listening to Industrial Cavern. taht should help.

Not a bad job though.

I didn't set out to make industrial, I just thought it ended up sounding industrial

[No Parking]

Nice work...

I don't give out a lot of nines as i tend to be quite harsh in audio, but thsi definetely deserved it.

The different adn varied melodies which blended in smoothly throughout, changing with each other, swapping moving and getting better, really are great. You definetely succeeded in making this song as varied as you could,

Background depth was great too although it didn't exaclty match with the melody in some parts, maybe you could change those.

Intro was great and built up really well before moving on to the main melody.

Ending, althougha fade away, wasn't bad either and with a little more work, could prove to be great.

Drumloops were so great, varied and witha great tempo, thsi song is sure to make it to high places, Nice work.

Wow this is great! Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed this, and I hope someday I can get it up on the front page of the audio portal-- but I'll just concentrate on making better music and let the system do the rest.
It would be cool if you could elaborate on the background depth problem, because I'm not exactly sure what you mean-- maybe you could shoot me a PM and I could get a better idea?
Thank you for the thorough review!

[Welcome to W0RLD]

brilliant work..

Intro was a bit too drawn out but when the new isntruments set in, it instantly got better, and when the melody came in it got way better. I liked the 8-bit instruments you used as they really set off the video gameish style in it.

Transition somewher round 1:30 wasn't good though adn it really needs improvement in only that part.

I'd really imagine this in a flash platform game which is set in an 8-bit fantasy world.

Good job throughout, keep it up!

Looks like I know which parts to fix then.

[The Ice Queen's Palace]

I like what you did with this...

The volume is way too low though, maybe you could change that as it would make this so much better.

Background depth was way too simple too and , although the choir gave it a fantasy feel, you need more strings and background instruments to it as this would make the experience better for any listener who likes this kind of music.

I must admit taht the structure was a bi too random for my liking as a sllight bit of repetitiveness is always important to make the listener feel comfortable. Still its not abad job.

I couldn't exactly imagine this in a fantasy game, not yet anyway, if you add a background music melody to it, i'll play the game anytime, just to hear the music.

sarias responds:

like I've mentioned before which i dont get why people are not harping on this I was required to use this pair choir and bassoon and I was also required to use this scale so please stop saying ad this and that the only thing on this review that could help me was the structure part

[Race On (WIP) [SFPL]]

Not a bad job...

you did a pretty good job with this and it was a wel thought out piece. For a WiP it sounds quite complete in my opinion although the ending is way too abrupt (i knwo ur gonna arrange taht but i'm gonna metnion it anyway ;])

The melody needs to change a bit more throughout and depth needs to be better. Still, its not abad job.

It started off great too, with a great build up and transition into the main melody. It set off the mood on the race track very well adn as it got tenser it seemed to show the growing anxiety as the finish line grew closer. Great job...

SFaPiL2 responds:

Thanks Darklight17 ^__^.

I'm really glad to read that the the build up is great. I have to admit that I worked the hardest there and tried to make the best transition I could.

Yes, I REALLY need to think of a way to end it, but I have no clue right now =__=.

Anyway, cheers!

[*- Dreams and Nightmares]

Nice work...

Vocals were quite good, and provided each other witha great harmony blend, although they went a bit discordant for a few seconds in some parts.

Melody was pretty simple and plain but it blended in well with the genre of music which you wanted to portray. The background and chord progressions weren't bad, but yet again, they were too simple for my liking.

Not a bad piece of music and you definetely did a good job with the lyrics and the meaning. Needs a bit more emotion from your voice though.

[awesome windows song remix]

ook...

My god, what was that sound u used in the intro? It sounded like a monkey getting strangled by a constipated elephant (Again with the elephants...sry...).

well, aside from the intro, it still needs more work throughout as it alcked depth and a good melody in some parts. Drumloops were quite faint and plain adn didn't pick up the song.

You chose a great song to remix, but u didn't do qutie a good job as the original and the melody was way too repetitive, reapting itself every couple of patterns whereas Blackhole12 uses a wide variety of different patterns adn melodies.

Not a bad job though.

[Earths Exit]

Needs more work.

Well, intro was good and the two instruments blended in together quite well, portraying what you wanted to show quite well.

It did tend to get slightly repetitive though and it think that better samples and more background would set thsi piece off quite brilliantly.

You need more background when the piano is on its own as it was a bit too plain in some parts. However the main melody was awesome. Good job.

[Midnight Illusion (DP&KP)]

=Review Request Club=

Hmm...

Well, intro beat was good. but it was way too repetive, you need to shave off a lot of seconds there. If u do taht it'd be a much better song as it did tend to get repetive.

I liked the fact that you used a kinda fugue (introucing a new instrument or pattern every couple of bars) for the intro. it really set it off well.

Name fits quite well too, but its a bit too busy for midnight.

Overall, its a good piece of work, keep it up!

you said nothing new and you contradicted yourself, and you make my song sound generic.
