Anchorwind's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[From the Dust You Whisper]

I wasn't sure how I fit in here, originally. Then I listen to the song and I actually had a 'ah, there it is' moment.

Having worked with Lich and HG (extensively) but not Phonometrologist (yet), this was fun for me to listen to and see the similarities. I loved every moment of this.

Phonometrologist responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed what you inspired. Would love to collaborate sometime, but I just don't what my role would be in the process. Something we'll have to think about in the future as I don't have much experience in working with others via online.

[Saving Nightmare -2019 version-]

Glad to see you back, and doing what you've always done so well.

Yqarus responds:

Thanks!
I just started... :)

[A City Not Forsaken Part I]

The Synth is a neat addition. It is playful, childlike, innocent even, when compared to the rest of the piece. This is a 'quest complete' track: a sigh of relief, a moment to look upon what was saved - and then the children come in and remind us they get to run and play again.

This was thoroughly enjoyable to listen to.

Phonometrologist responds:

When reading your description, I thought about how it also compares to salvaging our own hearts from a desolate life. To keep our motives pure and to see the future optimistically as a child would almost seems impossible unless we were to gain new lens.
I find your sentiments to be completely accurate to the track.
Thank you for letting me know.

[Assembly Lines [REMASTER]]

This is a fantastically fun track, worth repeated listens. I'm glad to have been brought here.

Quarl responds:

Heyo, I've been meaning to give a solid listen to that pipe bomb mix but I'm working over time this week. Sounded dooooope on my phone but I must haz all the frequencies my headphones can offer.

Thanks for letting me know you gave this track a listen. Assembly Lines is a personal favorite of mine. Tis my crack baby :0

[Requiem Hope]

I closed my eyes and wondered where it would take me, the mix was intense and not necessarily in a good way, brother. I love choir but this was a wash of almost indistinguishable sound, I struggled to find myself in any place, moving in any direction. If I had to use this, it would be in a confusion scene, wherein the protagonist is grabbing his/her hair and trying to sort things out and failing miserably at everything.

Lich responds:

Haha no problem, only done this as a very quick Secret Santa piece. Not quite the kind of theme I would ever willingly do

[Noisebringer - You lose [WIP]]

it is a shame this wasn't finished. I went and checked. I would have liked to see the full version too.

weemeee responds:

Yeahh, I have about 100 or so projects that I dropped, this was unfortunately one of them.
Thanks for the review though.

[-Xintitled-]

this has a nice creeping doom quality to it. someone is going to axe murder you as soon as you turn the corner. i like it.

SlaughterClub responds:

thanks brother was learning to use massive vst at the time good software ;-)

[Flak + Lyde (Instrumental WIP Collab) - Break Me]

This reminded me of bobble bobble, which is nice.

However, I'd love to hear this without the extra processing. This is harsh to hear, and not in a pleasant 'this is industrial' way. It's just overdone. I'm not sure if this is a overdrive effect, or levels too high, etc., but I'd genuinely like to hear this done properly. I bet this could be a wonderful track.

FlaksterMusic responds:

I really appreciate the criticism! Yeah, my early mixes tend to have too much saturation on them, I only just figured out how to fix it two days ago haha. It’ll sound much better even before the vocals are laid down

[medieval speedcore 虐殺]

It's a shame the one person who voted 5/5 before me didn't leave feedback; perhaps you voted for yourself?

This is a over all poorly mixed project and it reflects in the visual waveform. The one percussion sound dominates the track and more than drowns out the string loop. If the vocals told a story it was lost on me. I'm a big fan of heavy projects, but I find myself wondering where the progression is: around the 2:00 mark when you really get to hear the rest of the beat it is faint, distant, almost purposefully muffled. If you accomplished your goals then power to you.

I wish you all the best moving forward.

DJPeniPeg responds:

thanks :3
why did you hide your rating?
and no I don't vote my own projects

[Fight the madness]

this is an intense looking sound wave lol

DESHIEL responds:

how did you even find this haha
