[Monologue Demo]

Whoa...

This is really awesome... for one thing, i know it's a demo for the EP, but it loops perfectly, which is awesome. :D

Anyway, this is really cool man. I like the combo of he really weird bass that plays after the percussion comes in. The softness of the piano is great, and combined with the the grungy sound of the bass, it really gives a pumping feel.

I could totally see this on the EP. :D
10/10 and 5/5! Nice!

[SR - Interesting Timer (demo)]

Spacey....

The beginning gives me a real spacey vibe, sounds like something from an old Pacman game I have where your sent to space. It also has a slight, if not bigger influence of Aphex Twin. When the bass first comes in, it doesn't really seem to fit, the notes almost seem to clash... However, when the bass comes in again around 1:30, it sounds much better. The percussion is epic, some of the best i've heard...

Nice work man! I look forward to seeing this finished!

8/10 and 5/5. :D

SineRider responds:

Thanks for the review. The reason it might sound a bit out of tune is because.. it is. All the synths are slightly detuned. I'll have to edit them to be exactly in tune with each other.

[p4c-existentialism [demo]]

Wow...

This is actually one of the cooler submissions i've heard that's been submitted to this EP. As to the user below me, i do not think it needs more bass, it works fine as is. That echo-ing bell (?) ish sound is actually really cool, but i would try Eq-ing it a bit, it gets a bit harsh at some times. Still, you did good, nothing is really out of place...

Nice! 9/10 and 5/5. Good work man, i could totally see this on the album! :D

p4c responds:

aight, gotcha. yeah, not very many ppl seem to make this style of house/electro around these parts, so im doin my best. cheers!

[Game Over (8-bit HappyHrdcre)]

Amazing..

One of the best Dance/8-Bit song fusions i've ever heard. I can hear some Toad stuff in there, which always adds to the 8-bit style. :P I wonder though, what else did you use to make some of your synths? Usually i just go with 3xOsc and see where it takes me, but i'm slightly curious.

This should totally make it onto the EP, it sounds so amazing...

Great work man! 10/10 and 5/5! Yay!

-Kaiz

Bahdshah responds:

hahah thanks so much! yeah most of the sounds were made from 3xOsc but certain ones that u heard are from a VSTs called Magical 8-bit Plug in that helps u make you own 8bit sounds and Triforce.

Have fun!, glad you liked the song!

[[KgZ] Blue Violet (Ep demo)]

Whoa...

Reminds me of something from those old racing games, Gran Turismo and stuff. It has a really great beat, it's fast paced but the kick is quiet enough that it really works. The melodies and nice and jazzy, the bass is good, and everything is really smooth! This is nice man, it would be perfect for the Electronic EP. :D

10/10 and 5/5! Nice! (If you wouldn't mind, could you check out my submission for the EP? No obligations, just asking!)

-Kaiz

KgZ responds:

Why thank you kind sir, I will give you a review momentarily.

[One Last Chance (WiP/Demo)]

Wow...

This is insane. I'm glad you've submitted it to the EP contest, because this song is really amazing. It's a real minimalistic trance style, a steady kick with good hats to back it up. The thing i like most about this little demo is the fact that you didn't include a clap or snare. That really brings me in, i don't feel like i'm waiting for anything new to happen... and for me, that's a good thing. You've really outdone yourself for this song!

10/10 and 5/5. Good job!

Mrmilkcarton responds:

I save the claps for the peak :D

[Ceres]

Wow...

I'm glad i found your music, because this... this is amazing! I've never really heard such a down-groove trance song such as this. It really captures everything that softcore trance is about; quite beat, soft melodies and arps, a good bass to carry it along...

This really, really amazed me man! Do more like this!

10/10 and 5/5! Nice!

Reklusive responds:

thanks, its been a while since ive checked my newgrounds account so sorry this is so late, but I rly appreciate it. I haven't made this kind of beat in a while, maybe i should give it another shot :p

[Monodisc - Bar 303]

Wow.

I love the intro SFX. It all makes perfect sense to me, despite the weirdness of it. I like the real chill beat, the harp instrument, it's all really relaxing. Some of the vocal stuff after :24 is a little odd, but not enough to take off a point. The song reminds me of the theme for one of the planets in "Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic" (Reminds me of the planet "Mannan", planet covered in water)

Overall, i really liked this song, beginning especially, although the rest of the song was awesome!

Nice job sir, and congrats on the top 5!

10/10 and 5/5! Yay!

tijnn responds:

It's awesome that you relate it to star wars. I'm not a big fan of these movies, but i can surely feel the spacey vibe coming from the song...

Other than that, a big thanks for reviewing, really. ; )

[MH16: No Need To Hurry]

Funky :D

This is really cool man! Chill-type song, really relaxing and cool. The nice sort of pick bass is good, it carries the song along, changes the melody nicely. The flute (?) it cool too, it adds a nice bit of atmosphere to the song. The drums keep it going, not to heavy but still nice and cool.

Sweet song man! 10/10 and 5/5!

FairSquare responds:

Yeah, that's a flute you talking about ;-)
Well, thanks for the review and the nice compliments. I don't now what else to say :P
Again, thanks ^^

[[CW] The Gift]

Wow..

This is really amazing! It has some really awesome melodies, i can't get this song out of my head! It really does sound like menu music or music to select a car. The whole song was basically perfect, there aren't any flaws as far as i can tell. The drums are good, the bass is nice, not too heavy or too overpowered, and everything comes together nicely.

Great job! 10/10, 5/5, favorite and a download from me. :)

Thanks man, your tunes are awesome too!
