Animith's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[THE CASTLE...]

Amazing.

Bearing in mind you only played this once...and you make it up as you go along...I'm speechless. xD
Just the sense of harmony in general is beautiful on its own, but when coupled with the melody and general performance of the piece, this is almost too good...if that makes sense xD

Emotional from start to finish, the last minute or so was simply sublime.
Downloaded, 5'ed, 10/10, massively congratulated.

Stalagmite responds:

HOLY CAT SHAT! i think thats the perfect uplift to a terrible day. it has been a long and hard day, but you just made me smile for the first time. ;D
thanks for your wonderful enthusiasm and for taking the time to listen to me. ;D
i really appreciate it :D you rock!

[Elements Of Sublimity]

I'm not sure even 'epic' fits this.

This was astounding. If I was the kind of person who did flash movies, I'd put this in a final-boss cutscene or some such thing. As it is, I know nothing about flash, so I won't be asking to use your music. But judging by the comments below you're already highly in demand ;)

Anyway, after that ramble: I can't even totally understand why this is so awesome. Everything fits so well. The ending especially is mindblowing in the way it all comes together.

I love the little subtle things in this--like the instrument addition at 0:10, and how they're matched with the more dramatic instrumentations of the electric guitar and the like.

I don't even know what I'm saying xD. This was epic, and even then that seems not to justify this song. Fantastic.

MilkMan-Dan responds:

It would appear I have flustered you. Despite whether you use it or not I am glad you took the time to write a review. Fantastic to know I blew your mind a little.

Take Care

[Peril: Distant Star]

Very Cool.

I'll be the first to say Drum and Bass is not my most-listened-to genre of all time, but that was pretty enjoyable to listen to.
The structure is spot-on-solid, so you don't get thrown off at all by the changes of instruments. I've only been on the site a day and I know this does not equate to how utterly random NG songs can get, by any means. The transitions worked really well.
I like the instruments (the piano melody especially) and synths you used; nothing gets too piercing and nothing important gets drowned out by other things. It is a very good-quality piece, in terms of sound and everything otherwise. Good job!

mr-jazzman responds:

thank you sir =) you might only have used the site for a day, but i can tell you're a mature listener. thank you for your input, and i look forward to anything you produce!

P.S. I love the piano too =)

[Polymetric Industrial(ish)]

Pretty good

Reviewing as I go.
For some reason I wished the bass at 0:13 didn't mirror the rhythm of the melody, and rather was just a steady beat. Or maybe was just less fuzzy so you could hear the tune of it more. But that's probably just me.
The drums work well, though one of the sounds seems a little off.
Could have used a bit more dynamic or instrumentation when the drums do the riff at 1:15 or thereabouts. Or just in general, have more variation in dynamic, perhaps.
The sounds around the two minute mark were pretty ace, though by about 2:15 I'm wishing there was another something-or-other added in to keep it from getting too repetitive.
In general, I can't see why people have voted this two. It's not perfect, but it's not bad. Nice job.

HarvestThrone responds:

Thanks for the review! I appreciate the criticism seeing as it's something I don't get often and I'm constantly looking for a way to better my music. I agree for the most part. The only thing is that this is made for a movie soundtrack, so I didn't want to make it too complex as to take the attention away from the film. Just something to kind of set the mood and forshadow certain events. Thanks again!

[The River Stream]

Epic granny voice.

Well that was some mild hilarity! Have to agree with ConnieB, the ending was pretty cool. xD

ForNoReason responds:

lol thanks.
