Rafdows's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[AIM 21 - Lighthouse]

Really good old time soundtrack with poetry behind the cheap tunes style, a retro style with a soul! Nice done, BaraAmann!

[Waltz of the electric primates]

Hello splitprune,

Good beginning and... Where is the continuation? That's bad because with that kind of intro, a lot of possibility are existing... Good idea add to that in my opinon...
And at the stand of rush end, a loop was a better approach.

Haha, yeah I gotcha, for what it is I'm happy with it but I just let go of the whole project way too easily, it's a thing I do.

Appreciate the comment, have a good one!

[Field of Roses]

Hello Enderman3092,

I think this piece is really well done, almost perfect, just the melody seems certains time not structured enough, but that give an originality also.

[Northpeaks' Shadow (Newgrounds VGM Challenge)]

Hello WakerLink,

Your music is for me totally in the theme, execution is perfert, the only problem is how long your music take so certains situations are missing, but what is here is good, so a good vote but not perfect :-)

WakerLink responds:

thanks for commenting, and the main reason why it sounds like it's missing something is mostly because I'm still not all that good at making stuff in different time signatures, so more practice is needed

[The Rebels to the North]

Hello papkee,

My vote is hard and of course I'll explain why :

First your intro is so lack of originality, a so often eard, for exemple here un classical intro I thing interesting in his excecution (yes, I know, Bjorn Lynne is a great composer) and the song almost fit of the challenge by the way...

Ok, after that your song is too positive, but in the beginning why not but after is more like Indiana Jones finding the Saint Graal than a Spy gathering informations and run for his life. Montains impressions are ok, but forests, not so much and village maybe. It's too much a warrior who will arrange everything than a Spy, too heroic and less mysterious/dramatic I thing, something like that...

[Cold Surge |NORTHPEAKS SPY an NVGMC SUBMISSION|]

Hello CryNN,

Very good music, composition, everything so why only four? Because your music give me more the impression of that the king give orders to the spy and outside it's the war! But the demand was more the travelling, gathering of informations and the live of the spy was in danger or not, things like that, so...

CryNN responds:

It was on the forms as a topic ;) thanks for the review

[Prototype X9]

Hello Lashmush,

OMG what a great action strong music! That can fit to a Command and Conquert (Frank Klepacki) or a new generation of R-Type (Irem) or even to a race with deadly happend!
Good arrangement, sound perfect!

[Reflected Violin]

Hello Riy0,

Really good loop for a final boss of a cool JRPG game (that fun because I'm working on a music of JRPG just now also) your music work as well for an medieval as a futuristic a a steampunk or whatever and even for old game like Rainbow Island for certain boss... Great job!!!

Riy0 responds:

Thank you! :)

[Dreamland Wanderer]

Hello FateModified,

The beginning is a rare "hip hop" rythm I'm able to listen too and it's the first good point, the melody is good, good useful of elements of repetition, the instruments give a good strange ensemble without being to weird, you have a good attention of what to do when and how!

Rafdows

FateModified responds:

Thank you! :)

[Ocean Tides]

Hello Tebyricat,

I love the composition and especially the using of bass/leit motiv the give that simple et effective way to loop and give breath to the music, other moments get more complex good composition that make everything so wel balanced!
Sound, mix, mastering are good to!
