Anchorwind's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[XB (Unreal)]

That's two now I've downloaded of yours. I'm becoming a fan of your ability to harness beauty in ambience. Hope to see [hear] more.

LuigiofDarkness responds:

Thank you very much!

[Club Seals]

I'm not sure, but playing the inverted-circus-stage is always fun. Don't mind me. Well done, regardless of where this 'belongs.'

Synthapse responds:

thx man

[Project Ravestein -WIP-]

"Do you want me to complete this?!" Sure. The intro was a bit long for me, but once :52 kicked in, I was with you. I hope that your kicks have more balls in your completed work, but you've got a good start.

DESHIEL responds:

more balls? Or more DB? :D

[Interminatis]

As we've discussed before, this one is very enjoyable.

Yqarus responds:

Thank you ^^
I'll work on another one, could take some time.

[Life Eternal]

I saw "Sapoman - Industrial" and I HAD to listen. Then I saw lyrics, and deflated. However, I'm glad I stuck around to listen. This wasn't one of those whiny-high-pitched-male-types. The juvenile and/or over processed types. No, this was a solid track. Listening to this, I was reminded of Depeche Mode and other works [Like "Everything Must Perish" by Front Line Assembly]. As an old-school industrial fan, I really enjoyed this. I'm putting this right next to Event Horizon in my playlist.

Your transition at 1:29 is a bit rough though.

sapoman responds:

Thanks! I am remixing this song because I can't hear myself. Also, I just got a new interface so I don't have to use the default soundcard and 1/8th inch input that I've used to make all of my other songs. We'll see what the boost in sound quality does. I plan on redoing a lot of older stuff. Thanks for the review.

[Promise Not]

Here I stand again, listening to the echoes of failed promises travel down this corridor of time but I am unmoved. A promise is either a symbol of hope and trust or a precursor of failure and we who pace this corridor have long heard the echoes.

ZLEAP responds:

There are those of us that have escaped the endless echos of this corridor. But that's just what we told ourselves to feel better about the prison we escaped to. It's much quieter here. But I may never leave this place. Left only with my own broken thoughts and insecurities. So many have come to this place, yet I've never seen a soul. Maybe it's because I'm too busy trying to find my own.

[Reflection]

...and lo, I stand upon the precipice of all that I never wished to build, unable to turn my gaze away from this horrid sight: disturbed only by each tear that adds to the growing mirror that haunts my very being. This face in the swelling pool at my feet, why does it have to be mine? Anyone but mine. Try as I might, I cannot break this reflection. It has broken me.

ZLEAP responds:

A normal response, would be "Get out of my head." But I think I prefer you in there. Stop by any time.

[(w0lv)shattered hearts]

4 Star Concept / 3 Star Execution. I like the idea, less the quality of sound. Not knowing your style/limitations this might work well as a straight up 8-bit song. Go full out square waves and lo-fi. Just a thought. Thanks for posting.

[Revenge!]

I could have used a louder snare, but this wasn't too shabby. Do you normally do well drunk? :)

IanTheManGod responds:

i admit it took longer to make than usual, but cool thanks for da feedback

[eff_3]

I really enjoy the concept. I would recommend either more percussion or less everything else [a better balance]. A punchier, louder percussion would go a long way in your otherwise enjoyable minimal mix here. In comparison to your synths and basses, it sounds weak and flat and takes away from the piece overall. If you do re-post a punchier version, please let me know: I'd like to listen.
