Anchorwind's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[the world around meh]

Holy Catchy Synthpop! I was waiting for Liz Enthusiasm [Freezepop] to start singing the whole time. I like it.

DESHIEL responds:

Thanks anchorwind, I like your stuff too.

[Like Jesus Fucking Christ]

The main melody doesn't fit in for me, but the rest of it might be worth saving and re-working.

ZLEAP responds:

I can't get away from the elevator music feel to it. I've decided that this will spend the rest of its days in my musical graveyard. Rip Jesus Fucking Christ.

[From Nothing]

I get a Nine Inch Nails feel from this. Not complaining, mind you.

ZLEAP responds:

I was aware of this upon writing the plucked intro. But, every time I tried to re-write it, it just didn't work. All is well though. You have to be influenced by something.

[Weirdo]

"I don't want to go among mad people" Alice remarked.
"Oh. You can't help that." said the cat.
"We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad"
How do you know i'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be." Said the cat.
"or you wouldn't have come here." - Lewis Carroll.

ZLEAP responds:

Indeed.

[Boundless]

Not too shabby. I wouldn't agree with "Heroic" nor "Hopeful" for large sections of the track. I would say more "field map music" or "sunny day cutscene." This doesn't have the ATTENTION GRABBING qualities needed in a truly heroic theme, but could easily blend into the background as you're doing other things [like riding a horse across a field].

stunkel responds:

Field map music was actually part of that, I sort of just pictured going from place to place, if this were to be in a video game, I think it would DEFINITELY fit best in the field map music. It wouldn't be a castle or anything in my opinion. What would attention grabbing mean? Is it the melodies? Or is it just the instrumentation? Like the flutes aren't the powerful heroic instrument. Just curious is all :P Thanks for the review though!

[From Nothing-work in prog]

Right off the bat, fix the snares. It doesn't mesh well with the rest of an otherwise pleasant mix. As a work in progress however, I understand that the final will be better and look forward to hearing it.

ZLEAP responds:

The new version shall have improved snares and fuller sound. Soon.

[Darkishi]

I was thinking "this is a solid piece," Then 1:13 hit me. Well done!

DESHIEL responds:

great

[[LLM] Poison Throne]

This song made me realize it's slightly difficult to navigate to find a favorite button whilst headbanging that vigorously.

[Ash Garden]

"Damn you." I said lightheartedly.
"You don't have that authority." He responded.
"...true, but this track is catchier than it should be." I grumbled into my desolate void of an office.
The monitor smiled back at me, grinding my heart one beat at a time...

ZLEAP responds:

Don't stare into the screen for too long. One day, it may suck you in and you will become lost in the digital void. Then, you will grumble zeros and ones as part of the internet collective.

[The Dark Path]

Yes, extend this. Extend it darker!
