Mattashi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Inevitability]

Great melodies! Fun to listen to.
Only thing is I think the piano could be a little bit louder but this is just me nitpicking.
I enjoyed this, great work :)

Back-From-Purgatory responds:

Glad you like it.

[The Hanging]

Awesome :) Just wish it was longer, sounds like an awesome intro I can hear a trumpet in my head coming after this!

[The Hero (Western Theme)]

Oh man I love Ennio Morricone and I love this! sort of reminded me of Kill Bill since there were a few tracks from Morricone in there.
Can't believe everything was recorded did you play the instruments yourself as well?
Only thing I would do is maybe make the snare a tad bit louder.
Great work!

Basset-Hound responds:

Hey Thanks! This track was definitely inspired by a few tracks that were also in Kill Bill like
L´Arena, Un Momento and Theme from a fistfull of Dollars. I did record every instrument myself, normally I´d record some real violins and cello´s over the fake strings that come out of my keyboard but this time I was too lazy to do it that day since playing those instrument pitch perfect is for me the hardest part of recording everything.

[Fairies In The Misty Forest]

Yay! a new song from Emid :D. Really love this track man! Especially when those percussions came in sounds like I'm in the middle of a jungle. I don't think I have heard a worldly song from you before and you nailed it perfectly. Awesome work :)

Emid responds:

Thanks Matt. Yes this is my first song in this genre but as it is more like cinematic, I have selected the cinematic genre for it. I had great fun doing it. Glad you liked it :)

[C'est Possible]

Pretty good song! The strings in the background are a bit repetitive though It would have been nice to maybe have a key change. I think the piano that comes in at 01:52 is clipping a little.
Overall it's a nice piece, keep on composing :)

[Steps]

This is great MrBellington! It does give out a creepy vibe indeed. Somehow I picture myself playing Resident Evil to this. Nice work, perfect horror/thriller game music :)

MrBellington responds:

Well thank you very much! I can't remember what made me sit down and write this. I think it was me just seeing how much mileage I could get out of a pretty cheap reverse steel drum effect!

[Raining Tears (WIP)]

There seems to be allot of highs in this track I think you should boost the lower frequencies a bit, or it could be the VST you used for this.
But that aside this is a beautiful! Really love the melody that starts at 1:33 sounds like a classical song!
Nice work :)

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

There are quite a bit of highs in this track for sure. Now that you say it, you're probably right. I'll make sure to EQ this piano sample later; thanks for the tip!
I'm glad you like the melody :D!
Thanks a ton for the review! XD

[Not all of me shall die!]

I've heard some of this before and it's still as good as then :) I'm a bit sad you took out that darker part you had in it before though I really loved the change of mood you did to it, what made you change your mind?
It's still an awesome track though.
Looking forward for more!

Emid responds:

Don't ask man, I had a system shut down before saving and just before that I was editing new parts. Because of system freeze I had no choice other than to shut it down. I lost those parts you are talking about as well as other. Loosing your tiresome work just breaks you! Thanks Matt for your advices though.

[In The Year 199X]

Nice work! It sounds very retro, like something you'd hear in an old action movie :)
reminded me a bit of the music from "Blood Dragon" (Far Cry 3)
Would love to hear more :D

[To Nowhere]

Niceeeeee :) would be awesome to hear some vocals along with this.

Xorberax responds:

Agreed, I actually just bought a mic yesterday (Sennheiser e835), but I can't provide any decent sounding vocals :P

I was hoping one of the fellow NG'ers could work with this.

Thanks :)
