Xyirx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rig - Catharsis]

Absolutely progressive.

I like the ambient this way 'cause it's so expressive with the pad stuffs. You've gotta listen to it closely to know what happens in the song.

[The Captain's Theme]

Uplifting as usual.

I listen through the whole song. Piano and string (and maybe choir too) blend together quite well. The stormy part has power with the minor key. The only flaw is the treble which happens in the middle of the song, that's all. :)

I closed my eyes, I shook my head, I startled, and I smiled.

[MAC8 - Memories [Final]]

Vocal....

I don't really think the vocal works well to be honest, but admire your style. How you lay the guitars in is just very good. A second voice (with lower octave) gives a weird feeling too.

SuperMusic responds:

Glad you liked it =). Thanks for the helpful criticism.

[.:Sleepless Nights v2:.]

A FAST sad song. Fascinating.

People always think that good sad songs should be slow, but you just prove it that misconception. Ideal song for the theme in my opinion. :)

GronmonSE responds:

Thank you.

I...am out of things to say to that, but thanks for the review :D

[Quest of Eve Main Theme]

Can't resist to give a ten.

Strings+piano is a winning combination for me, and you've used them very well. The story you put fits in pretty well with the song. I don't know what to say, this is film soundtrack quality....

Bosa responds:

Ah, thanks. It's too much kindness, really. It's really nothing compared to what others have accomplished, but thanks for your kind words - they really are well appreciated.

[Cayur - Achaia]

Awe-inspiring.

A long piece filled with emotion, longing for listener's tears. I like how you use all the string instruments to create peaks at some points as well as drums and other percussions to sort of bringing other genre in.

[MAC 2008 - Monster]

It's great, but too steady for 3 mins. ^^;

I admire the use of purcussion for classical scene, and especially for the sad theme. The looping melody is used too often, imho. If you can add more instruments, then this would be even more touching.

Scribbler responds:

Thanks for admiring the percussion, I tried to make this track stand out with that added element. I did experiment with more instruments but after the additions, the track didn't feel the same anymore, I want the track to evoke a certain mood and with more instruments, that mood is just ruined. And what do you mean too steady for 3 minutes? Lol. Thanks for the review.

[The Darkest Place of All-MAC8]

It's great, just gives me different emotion.

I have to say that this is a great piece of work, considering all the elements in the song. The bell gives a great atmosphere. The only downside is that, I don't really feel that sad, but scary/mysterious instead. It's personal opinion here though. :)

[MAC8-Michael's Theme]

Bringing my high.

Really uplifting, especially in the middle of the song. Very inspirational somehow because of the chord progression. It's a little sad because it's a short loop, but still great to listen to.

[Goodbye Sister]

Sounds like traditional Thai song. :)

I love the tune of this. Simple and progressive. I could hardly compose anything on the keyboard. XD So great job here.
