STEPHEN4705's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sleepness Nights (wip)]

I love the vocals and guitar. Nice lyrics. Very nice upload here Josh.

All I'll say is remove a small part of the vocals. Theres a little croak about 50 seconds in, and it's quite loud. But it's a WIP, so whatever. I love when the drums come in as well.

Fantastic sounding demo, I beg of you, let me know when the full thing is done, I'd love to have a copy!

SuperGoodSound responds:

yeah - there were definitely some weird little vocal things going on. it was slapped together really quickly. Even a ton of the extra production I did in adding strings and such was rather messy

[Spaced Out (Inst.)]

This is sweet. I love the pads/pianos in this. Drums kinda remind me of flying lotus a little. A DL and a fav from me :D

Stavier responds:

Thanx you good, I'm especially glad you liked the pads since I experimented with the mixing of various pads together :D

[KKS - Nothing Less [rmx]]

Stunning sounding song, absolutely love the synths on the intro. Drumwork is absolutely brilliant, love the build up and layering of sounds, and the fact that you can still hear everything despite the sheer amount of synth melodies piling up on top of each other.
To me, whilst listening to it, I sort of get the wierd image of a futuristic city building itself from the ground up, one building at a time, I dunno xD

Brilliant sounding song at any rate. Its nice to see an ambient song on newgrounds with a bit of bite to it, a lot (including myself) tend to forget about the existance of percussion whilst making this sort of genre, and its refreshingly different to hear an ambient piece with a somewhat stronger, less ambiguous rythm about it.

Hats off to you sir, this is bloody brilliant :)

KKSlider60 responds:

Thank you sir, for your kind words and review ^^
Hope you enjoy the rest of my works too, as well as Antiskill's.

[[LY] The Far Deep (clip)]

I felt it would've been rude of me to not give a review back after the amazing one you sent my way. I dig this, the bass is freaking fantastic. No kidding about the deep end of it, but the low pitched-ness of it certainly feels appropriate in this. Love the sound of the sweep, great sounding drums. Feels like more /could/ be added to it, but it sounds great as it is already. Love how you can hear the sub bass even through headphones as well :D

la-yinn responds:

Hey man, can't thank you enough for the kind words. :-)

I know, there could be added more, and there *will* be added more! I'm really diggin this one myself and I want to make it a proper tune, haha.

Thanks for reviewing!

[Euphoria - K00vi]

Solid production.

An excellently put together track. Love the blend of sounds. Brilliant sounding bass to me, nice sounding synths if a bit repetetive. Only thing I feel its missing is some open hats to fill the gap and acompany the off beat bass.

Keep up the good work :D

K00vi responds:

Thanks!

[Dopamine (Preview) - SG]

Absolutely brilliant.

Didn't think I could get sentimental over a little happy techno-trance tune, but you've managed it.

For me, this just brings back such a sense of nostalgia. Back in 2008, three years ago, this is the sort of thing I used to listen to, the sort of stuff I aspired to make. I then moved away from this style and moved more over to drum and bass/chillout, stuff that felt more serious. Hearing this just brings back the memories of what I wanted to be, and I gotta say, its absolutely amazing.

This is an absolutely outstanding track, with an amazing sound to it, even though its just a 25 second preview.

Please inbox me if and when you release the album, I'd love to get a copy of it, but knowing my luck I'd probably forget.

Absolutely brilliant :D

[Automatic Error Fixer]

Nice!

Fantastic use of sounds and pads in this. The destructiveness of the fx samples works really well with the less destructive pads and synth melody. The kick seems a bit a quiet in parts the. The second keyboard/synth melody sounds really nice, but one of the sounds doesn't quite work with it.

Nontheless, really nice composition, I really enjoyed it!

DXVanille responds:

Glad you enjoyed it, and especially glad of the great feedback!

[Urban Color]

LOVE IT!

Arguably one of the most relaxing songs I've heard on newgrounds. Everything flows so smoothly without every feeling the slightest bit uncomfortable, I wanna listen to this for a long, long time.

Thanks for uploading, I know I'm going to be putting the download to good use!

Fav'd + downloaded.

Ste :D

No1r responds:

:-) Thanks mate!

[SH - Circle]

Twice now.

Twice I've found your music through the featured song section in the audio portal.
Twice I've been amazed by the outstanding quality of work.
Twice I've made a 10/10 review on your beats.

And sadly you can't add a favourite artist more than once.

Solid beat though, really really liked the feel to this track. Epic vocal slicing, fantastic drum samples/arrangement, excellent bass.

Fav'd + Downloaded.
