Anchorwind's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[6r4v3y4rd 570mp]

sixrfourvthreeyfourrd fivesevenzeromp is a confusing name to try to pronounce but it's a fun track to listen to! The vocal bits aren't really my thing, but I do like synth screamers, have done a few myself. Thanks for sharing.

BurntOutOnlineMedia responds:

I was writing it in leet. It supposed to read as "GraveYard Stomp", but I'm glad you still liked it. Thank you very much. Before I forget, I threw the vocal parts in because without them it seemed kind of empty in a few spots.

[Activate All Sleepers]

Yet another wonder piece to add to your, still growing, contribution. I thoroughly enjoy all the layers here. This one will be on loop for a while as I am working on artwork etc. Ponderous work, this.

AliceMako responds:

Well if it inspires that's more then i can ask for, thank you.

[Dis Tant]

I don't mind ambient noise, but you might want to turn up the entire mix for the first 30 seconds or so. I couldn't hear it much at all by default in large sections.

etK responds:

I prefered the drone style that way, but thanks :)

[Nibiru]

I enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing. My only issue is the long intro, but I make the same comment to everyone (ask grinder :) ) .

Samkkv responds:

Haha thanks! Tbh I just kinda start clicking and see what happens. Most of my stuff is intended more as a soundtrack or soundscape than anything else. I'm of the opinion that a great soundtrack can make a bad film good.

[Clockwork (Mind Games)]

The percussive work is a bit light, but I'm REALLY enjoying the atmospherics. That's always the highlight of your works though, the backgrounds/textures/atmospherics/pads. Everyone has a talent.

Yqarus responds:

As always, thanks for your review!
I really appreciate your kind words.

I was thinking about doing a whole Ambient album with no Drums etc.^^
Maybe this stuff will reach more plays.

[Olfactophilia Loop/Preview]

You've my attention!

ZLEAP responds:

I see that :D

[Alone (Original Performance)]

Let the record show I did order a power cord based on the information I was given...wasn't my fault it was the wrong one :( to quote Metalocalypse "Well, for the record I tried" || As for the piece itself: Not bad at all. It's strangely heavy, and i'm not complaining.

ZLEAP responds:

Hey, I'm big on the whole "A for effort" thing. You've been a good friend to me.

And thank you.

[Rebirth]

Well hey now, we have a winner. My only real issue is the line you introduced at :44. Shortly thereafter though, it fades off and more percussive elements come in and the rest of the track is redeemed and I was already hitting the download button. The AW mix would just remove that bit, drop the floor out, and probably work in the winding, almost howling, around 4:28 a bit more. Well done.

ZLEAP responds:

I thank you, Sir.

As always, if an AW mix is something you want to do, it shall be done.

Multitracks?

[Innocence]

Ok, the play count is wrong. I've had this on loop for a little over 8 hours now, giving me 100 listens by myself. I digress. I've tried in earnest to find my relevance here. I get the art piece. I get the written description. I don't get my role here. Furthermore, I don't really talk about my tours much here (NG)*, so you may have had to do some digging elsewhere**? ....unless we've had conversations i'm forgetting (entirely possible). Regardless, thanks for the nod, even if I don't understand what I had to do do with it.

Regarding the piece itself: I really enjoy it. It sounds almost random enough for a tinkerer like me to play at 2 in the morning when I'm just searching for something.

*(NG) : NG is a strange place for me, I've been here for a few years but it is such a quiet, almost dead, place that i'm surprised when anything at all happens. I think that's the consequence of not being a "mainstream" content producer. /shrug.

**Digging elsewhere: If you did, thanks. Not that it would be hard, a quick google search of anchorwind makes me very easy to find.

--Dear NG: I wish you would let us come back and edit comments. This is one I know upon learning more I would like to change. Sigh--

Phonometrologist responds:

We exchanged messages before and you mentioned it to me directly. Plus, the heartgrinder and I were talking. Either way, I planned on writing this piece for a month now and your role in this is very much a philosophical one. Music has to start somewhere that is on a silent palette. Where does one begin? You were the motive to its conception primarily because of our talks and who you are, but not music related. Anyway, I'm a man that struggle with words so I decided to use music to communicate my emotions on a broken world.

[Ibanutsa (Ебануться)]

I enjoyed listening to this. I don't need to be able to understand it, I'm horrible at understanding lyrics in my own tongue. It was fun to listen to regardless, thanks for sharing.

Mechanical-Animals responds:

thanks for your respond
