Calamaistr's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dystopian East Coast (8-bit)]

Original progressions, soundbits, just very enjoyable to listen to man.
Listening to these things make me more proud on that i make 8bit myself.

Especially the two progressions at 0:11 are nice.

I remember bucky o hare, used to watch a good friend of me play it on nes when i was younger.
Also loved the show heh, even had actionfigures of it.

Genclops responds:

Glad you dig the song man, Bucky O'hare is my shit.

[Orbit Base]

perfect pacing and soundbits imo, though here and there the melody couldnt keep my attention its alot better than what most people make as 8bit here on newgrounds.

Genclops responds:

Grazie Grazie

[Through the Woods II]

its the refrain that catches my attention, the decending parts, i only dont like the string's quality, but that is personal taste.

I like how this track is relatively simple but has massive volume (as in body).

regards.

[The Return]

It sounds more like a concept because of the simplicity in its repetition, i also cant find a theme in the melody as it sticks to much to a single chord, that might be the theme on its own but i dont know about that.

At the start i found the bells a bit unnecessary at 00:31, overall there is just to little change to make it interesting and even becomes nagging as its just one chord most of the time throughout the track.

Maybe im of the few in this not to like such, it might be personal preferrence.

As for the quality itself its ok appart from the piano, could use some filter cut to make it softer.

stunkel responds:

Yeah, I wasn't really going for a specific theme, but more of something to work as I guess almost a pop song. I'm not really expecting people to use this in their games or movies or anything, I just do it for enjoyment.

And I don't know why people hate on the bells, I don't really get why DX. I kinda liked them and I don't think that adding it is really unnecessary or necessary, but more of just something to add to the song.

But I appreciate the review though. Thanks!

[Get Ready! [sega Genesis]]

at first i thought it wasnt as strong as your other pieces but the intermissions made up for it :)
i like in particular the 00:42 - 00:45 transition.

This all sounds a bit like a first lvl music but it also reminds me of the battle tune in FF8 :)

[Requiem for a Space Bug]

doesnt loop very well ;o

anyway rest in ye piece oh poor ye space buggy, we will all remember you and those who dont remember you will be stripped naked and shot into the desert with an arbalest.

space buggy, all rememebred him.
