Foxtrot-Zero's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stupid Mario Brothers Theme]

Nice Intro

Mario is a Classic game, and its pretty awesome to see someone remix a song right.

Not the best job. Your music is pretty sweet, and there aren't any big noticeable screwups with the levels or anything, concidering that its Punk.

The lyrics weren't that good, but the singing wasn't very good. I don't want to offend you, because you did a good job, but i need you to know that the singing really was horrible.

You might want to find a willing friend thats a good singer and then make sure the levels are right.

That, and you can try some Instrumentals. I can tell you i don't really like lyrics, and other than the singing, the song was pretty epic.

Thanks, but this isn't about the game, it's about the Supid Mario Brothers on youtube XD. And yeah, the singing sucks but w/e

[Waterfall - NG EDIT (A->N)]

No.

Just No.

I like your spirit. But i'm not about spirit. I'm about music.

To begin with, i hate Lyircs. Absolutely. I'm a man of instrumentals, of the sound. And lyrics ruin that for me.

Second, i feel like a Techno song with amazing potential was wasted. The parts that were not techno were, in my view, downright horrible. So mixing the two was a disaster in my book.

I seriously can't explain my dissapointment at the fruits of your conjoined labor so far.

I Could keep talking. Pointing out specifics. I have much more waiting to be typed. But my point is clear. And i will let you interpret it.

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Very interesting.

Thanks for expressing your thoughts.

Later.

As I sit here

I have an unsatisfyable need for some fuxing hardcore rave.

As i sit here, sipping at an iced tea, ficking through "rave" songs, and contemplating putting some pants on, i find this song.

It was sweeter than my tea. And i like my tea sweet.

Its simple, not epic, but its great.

Catstuffer responds:

tis, not epic for sure... i supose it passes the simplistic mind... lol

Thanks for ur review! :D

[Racmus - Get Out And Dance]

OH. MY. GAWD.

I CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW ADDICTING THIS SONG IS.
ITS BETTER THAN CRACK! Wait, no, I take that one back.

The Intro has an awesome melody, but its not cool haw it backs out and extends the intro.

Frankly, its great, but i find the opening to be misleading. Its missing something. Your first impression ruins the song for me.

Its good. I'll have to check out some of your other works.

RacmusDK responds:

Wow thanks, check out my new song "Pumped" If you like (:

I Feel A Resemblance

To something else .Couldn't possibly place it.

Really nice, and the intro captures the feeling, but i think the progression is a bit too slow...

Then it picks up into more trance. Real nice, AMAZING beat. I would place this part as more house than trance, though.

Some reason i like it more than normal.
Great work, but the back beat is simple. You need some more things in the background. I know you are trying to keep it simple here, but its missing something. Just, something. Like the cherry on top.

Anyway, other than the intro and missing some little piece (its tranqual, almost perfect) its amazing. And as i continue to type and listen, i think that little cherry is no longer important. Something could be added, but nay, is not missing - just isn't there.

And once again, i think i would most definately call this House.

HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA

Okay, let's sit here and pause. "I would place this part as more house than trance."
This song by definition is "trance." Not ifs, not buts, not exceptions. I put it under ambient because it's a more ambient kind of trance. If you want to get specific, this is dream/epic trance. House is waaaay different than this. I'm here to correct you, not necessarily make fun of you becuase I fear that you just dont' ahve the grasp of the electronica genres, which is okay. You aren't sitting here calling this techno, so all is good.

Okay, now here is how you can tell it's trance and not house.

1. It's more emotional.
2. the instruments used here are more "air-y".
3. It's a bit slower than most trance tracks, but is right below the normal tempo.
4. The instruments themselves are classic trance synths.
5. House has a high clap/snare on 2 and 4. I purposefully turned down this clap. If I wanted it to be house, I'd make the bass fatter and I'd crank that clap up, along with a different clap cause that's not a house clap.

Now what I would recommend for you is that you should Google Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music. There you will find all of the electronic genres, hear samples of the genres and you can then tell what you are talking about. I"m sorry I coudn't help but laughing, you aren't the first (seriously) to tell me what I produce is House and not trance.

Now sitting this aside, thank you for your review!

Well Made

Love the piano Entrance, and it does have a great melody.

I like how the synth comes in, But its kind of a let down when the song truly gets going.

The problem really is not that i don't like it, but its the contrast from the entrance. The entrance is one of the most important parts of the song, and it should reflect the feel of the whole song.

I do like the synths you used, including the beat (which ought to be turned down a bit) and it does havea happy toned melody.

The Bridge at 1:20 honestly sucked. As in, the back beat and the scratching record sound. The low synth that came in was pretty cool.

The piano as it came back out was pretty good, but the beat should not have come with the piano, instead waiting for the whole song to pick back up.

As it comes back in, it once again is awesome, but i must once again mention that the bass is two intrusive.

If its anything, its not repetative to a good degree, but the manner by which you vary it becomes slightly annoying - the song itself should take an interesting change, and not just throwing something on top - though in saying this i may be a hipocrite.

Don't let my criticism confuse you. I'm picky, but i truly love the song. If more of the minor things were fixed, i would have downloaded the song.

And sorry for my rambling. Once again, well made, and keep up your awesome work.

LK412 responds:

Thanks alot man!

I understand what you mean, but honestly i don't know how to fix the bridge. The bass is fixable and i will later. As for the beat with the piano, i wanted it like that so its not exactly like the intro.

Thanks for the honest and nice review. If you want some things changed PM me and ill make edit something for you,

Thanks again!

Epic Piano

Pianos, particularily in concerto with drums and synths, always get me.

Typically i hate vocals. Absolutely hate. I actually ragged out ApproachingNirvana for their vocals ruining the song for me : (

But these. Were impressive. I'd say its either clearly synthesized, or epicly mastered (in which case you really need to get a job with the record companies).

I don't know how you do it, man, blending synth like that. It just gets me. I don't know, for that fact, if you have made something so impressive before. It, frankly, kicks ass.

Could have used some more piano, though XD

I am wondering, what programs do you use, and are there any absolutely free programs i can get my hands on to start making some music. As in, free, not a trial. That would be awesome.

Impressive work. Thats all i can say, but it isn't enough.

I'm not sure why, but i have an extreme feeling to download this, so i will.
