nightsurfermusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Helix - Interlink]

Who cares if it's old!

It's still Helix stuff, and i'm glad i accidentally hit Audio Portal instead of Flash Portal! This song really brings back memories of your work, some of your other songs are buried on my iPod. :D

Anyway, this is great... the real suspensful industrial style we've all come to love from you... it has a lot of great synths and the gritty bassline really carries the song forward. The downtempo drums are also good, nothing too fast, but they aren't slow enough to ruin the song.

Despite it being old, it's still a great piece from you! Hope you get things sorted out. :)

10/10 and 5/5!

[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. :)

charliewilson responds:

Thanks man, your tunes are awesome too!

[Tzu - Blade Runner]

Liked it!

This was really good, actually. Despite you using FPC, you created a very nice song with some good melodies and some very good transitions! It has a good flow and really brings out a nice industrial feel. With heavy, glitchier drums it could be considered IDM.

Very well done man! 10/10 and 5/5.

-Kaiz

Tzunami responds:

Yeah, for a while I've set my own samples in the FPC and just went from there. I wasn't too worried about the drum as I just wanted to experiment with synths and such. Of course if the turn out for the style is well I'll be sure to make something more aggressive.

Thanks for the review.

[Fl Core Loop Challenge![Dj-S]]

Wow...

I came across your topic today, and entered my own song, but holy crap man, this is insane! I never thought those old FL Studio samples could sound so good.

Nice work bud! 10/10 and 5/5!

Sacrafan responds:

This review=Sexy
=3 You sound like you know FL, I'm gonna check you out!!!

[System Flux]

Oh mah God!

Blackhole, i have no idea what to say. Even in loop form, and with FL Core, i'd hate to see what you could do with everything else! And hell, i just need to look at your other songs, but besides that:

This was amazing. It has a real epic feel to it, everything flowed smoothly and completly. I love how all of the sounds really came together to form the entire piece, the melodies and such were amazing!

You, good sir, get a 10/10 and a 5/5, even on a loop. Wonderful work!

ErikMcClure responds:

Wow thanks, with the low score it was getting i thought it was crap :P

Sunstorm and Crystalline Cloudscape are examples of what I can do with z3ta+ :P

[MH16: All I Want]

Wow...

Yes, i'd have to say that knowing Gravey, his reviews are always helpful. You really did well on this song, i love how it flows along, almost like a small stream or something... the piano is really good, it has some great melodies. The strings are good, they don't over-power and they sound very smooth! The drums are good, they sound a little rough to me, but it could totally just be me! I also like that flute type instrument that comes in, it has a nice melody and it really ties the song together.

This was very well done! Keep going, Mr. Musicality! ;)

10/10 and 5/5. Nice work!

FairSquare responds:

Yes, Gravey is a very helpful person :-)
And the picture of a small stream that flows along is pretty cool ^^
Well, thanks for the review. And i laughed at Mr. Musicality :P

[Are you ready (Mans0n)]

Needs some work.

It's very repetative, it doesn't really change all that much. The bass is okay, but it's kind of rough and it doesn't change pitch at all. The percussion is okay, but i still hear some default FL Studio stuff in there. Update your library!

Needs work. 7/10.

Mans0n responds:

theres actually no fl studio percussion samples.
the hats are from basshunter sound pack.
and thanks
