Mattashi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The One Without a Name]

Very Beautiful work Lucid! probably one of my favorites from you now :)

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks! I'm surprised by how many people seem to like this composition, as it is one of my first works :D

[You Will Be Remember]

Awesome song! Sorry about your dog, losing one is like losing a best friend.

BERSERKYD responds:

I'll be fine thanks buddy ! ^^

[F*ck Yes]

This is awesome! Very Catchy tune, I feel like dancing now.
I noticed you weren't scouted yet, so I did.
Great work :)

LeZ38 responds:

F*ck Yeah !!! Thanks =)

[Under the Silent Sky]

Great melody, beautiful composition Squale! This works very well for a worldmap it sounds like there's a big adventure laying ahead for the heroes.
For some reason your song gave me nostalgia I miss playing those old turn based RPGs when I was younger.
Great work you should definitely put out the full OST on Bandcamp or something once you're finished :) Would love to hear the complete soundtrack!

Squale responds:

Thanks for your kind words, Mattashi. :)
My work on the Dark Sword OST is already done. I have composed only four tracks. Unfortunataly I had no time for doing more. :(

[Denial]

I love the atmosphere and the minimalisme of it. Sounds very dark too like something out of Silent Hill.
Nice work :)

Deemo-R responds:

Thanks! It was requested to sound along the lines of a Silent Hill tune, so I'm glad it accomplished that. It was a good chance to try out a bunch of pads that I almost never get to use :D

[Jazzimprov]

Great Improv! I heard lots of beautiful melodies in this while listening :)

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks for yet another uplifting review, and for listening in the first place!

[The First Elf]

I see you finally got those Eduardo Tarilonte Libraries! Really loved the atmosphere in this.
Just wish that it could have been a little longer but I guess you wanted to experiment a bit with your new Vsts.
Really nice work! Can't wait to hear what more you'll compose next :)

Neon-Bard responds:

Yeah! They are fantastic! I think I should have made this longer, too. As you stated though, this is just an experiment. Thanks Mattashi! :)

[Lurkin' in the Jungle]

I think this could fit very well for a video game, like exploring an ancient temple. At least that's the vibe it's giving me :)
Nice work! My only complaint would be that it should be longer :D

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks! I think that much of the stuff I make could fit a video game setting, because video game music has been such a huge inspiration for me (as I'm sure it has been for many others here as well). I agree that this piece would be befitting for an ancient temple XD
And yes... I wish I had time to make it longer too, or to make longer songs in general at the moment. I'm having a hard time finding enough time and motivation to make anything long though, as I still have more than 60 days left in the army :p

[From Ash To Alabaster]

Great song, kind of reminded me a bit of Linkin Park.
Nice work!

Cyberdevil responds:

Yeah, maybe it does... looks like all tracks me and Jabun collab on end up sounding a bit like LP. :D
Thanks!

[To Zanarkand (Piano Cover)]

That was very beautiful played Lucid, your a very talented pianist :)
I loved your additions and I think no matter how much you play it you will always think that you can do better even though your already amazing at it. I have the same thing and I think many other artists have it aswell :)
So much nostalgia... I wish they could make awesome Final Fantasy games like that again it seemed it went a bit downhill after Squaresoft joined Enix I also miss Nobuo's work.
Awesome cover!

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks, Mattashi :)

I too think that many artists feel the same about many things.
I've always felt that nostalgia is one of the most powerful emotions, which really shows in different forms of art. Everything that reminds you of the past, whether good or bad, impacts you a lot.
I miss Nobuos work as well, as well as the old Final Fantasy feel. FF XIII was a good try, but it doesn't even compare to the older titles :(

You're an amazing guitarist, btw o.O
Your cover of "The Choice" wakes so many feels :)
