Gloudas's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Entrance Me (Original Mix)]

well done

for starters, grats on all the top 5's of the week. Haven't reviewed a song of yours in a while and haven't had a chance to say so

Anyways, the song. I really like one, probably my favorite of your stuff. As always, the synths sound fantastic; I think thats by far your strong point in your music, that no matter what the song is like, it always sounds fantastic. I especially like this song because of the various transitions you use, in previous songs I think the transitions haven't been as strong but I think they sound great here, I love how you used to the drums to build up to the driving trance parts. I also like the incorporation of rain, I think its a great way to build into the piece. My only criticism really is repetition, the song seems to be a bit drawn out; I would consider adding some background noises and synths, whether they be effects or little side melodies and such, to spice things up while the melody isn't playing to help reduce that repetitiveness. Other than that it sounds great, I expect I'll be seeing this on the top 5 in about a week

9/10 and 5/5. An incredibly well made song. Looking forward to more of your stuff.
If you could, give my new song, Air and Rain, a listen. I'm curious to see what you think of it, and it uses rain samples also :D

Everyones into a rainy mood. Thanks for the review I'll have to give it a listen.

[(dj Martcore) Engage The Noise]

nice job

this is really well done, nice job. The vocals compliment the hardstyle very well, the effects you put on em work very well for the song. The synths you use are really cool, the high pitched stuff works well with the deep bass kicks. All around, its a really well done hardstyle song

10/10 and 5/5
Check out my new song, air and rain, if you get a chance :D Its nothing like this but I'd be curious to see what you think of it

[Nav - Ecstasy]

nice

hehe love it. The melody is awesome, very well done HHC song. This is a really fun song to listen to, love all the synths and sounds you throw in. Some criticisms would be that the song becomes a bit repetitive, especially in the first half with the same melody being used over and over, and you might want to work a bit more on transitions, cause it's generally a new part just comes at the end of phrase with not much buildup, but thats mostly my taste. Nice job all around though, I enjoyed it

5/5 and 9/10
check out my new song, air and rain, if you get the chance :D

Nav responds:

Thanks, yeah... It got a bit boring, but I didn't feel like making more, so I left it as it is :P

I see about checking out your song, I'm usually busy, but I might be able to take some time out to at least vote, and possibly review.

[Trip Through the Wire Forest]

haha neat

This is really really cool, nice job! The name really fits well, the song in general has a really cool feel to it, definately like some wierd forest. The lead synth that comes in at abtou 1:05 is awesome, and I think the song really picks up from that point on. The melody you use kinda creates a video game sound, which sounds awesome, and I love the drums you use. Overall its very well done, I think the intro could use some improvement because its just not as exciting as other parts, but otherwise it sounds great.
5/5 and 9/10
I'd appreciate a review on my new song Air and Rain if you could :D

[Horizon (piano-based rock)]

nice

wow I really like this. All the guitars and everything are great, and the piano sounds fantastic. I especially like when the drums come in with the piano near the end of the song, sound great. I don't have much criticism, all I would say is watch the volume because the song often becomes too loud, especially near the end of the song. Nice job all around

10/10 and 5/5
Check out my new song Air and Rain if you get a chance :D

[CV AOS Main Theme 3 Pianos]

hehe nice

cool stuff, this is a neat little piece. I like the piano parts especially, they're fun to listen to. The drums are also well done, you have good beats and a good bit of variety, my only suggestion would be to get better drum samples. I think if the drums you used sounded a little better and a little more realistic the song as a whole would be a little more captivating. Well done all around, I like it

9/10 and 5/5.
Check out my new song, Air and Rain, if you get a chance :D

[Kriz - The BBQ loop!]

wow

hehe this is incredibly well done, nice job! I love the synths you use, and all the sweeping ambiance and wind sounds great. The intro is fantastic, the piano and the that synth going together is just awesome. The drums are also well done, they really drive the song. PLEASE pm me when you're finished with the song (assuming you do), I'd love to hear the full version.

5/5 and 10/10
Check out my new song (air and rain) if you get a chance! :D

[Ride On (FF8 Airship Theme)]

well done

This is incredibly well done. I haven't played FF8, but it shows from the song how much effort and time you've put into this. Sounds exactly like something I would hear in FF, which means you did a good job. All the synths and everything are perfect, its just incredibly well done all around. Like i said, all the effort you put in really shows

5/5 and 10/10.
I'd appreciate a review of my new song, Air and Rain, if you could. Thanks!

Orion928 responds:

... it better show, my damn ass hurts from all the sitting down and working..... one way to blow off summer vacation...

thx for the kind words sir ^__^ glad you enjoyed it.

[-ganon95- Thunderhorse]

hehe tight

Man, this has a really cool sound. Its well done overall, I like the bells and the piano base, sounds great. The melody is cool also, I think you could make the lead synth a little stronger but overall its well done. Its got a wierdly dark overtone, like it ought to be played in some church in an action movie, which is cool. Nice job all around, 5/5

Check out my new song Air and Rain if you get a chance :D

ganon95 responds:

lol i wish i could make it a little stronger but this is at the max and would create static and junk if turned up any more =[

[{Serenity}]

hehe cool

This is really neat. It's got a very unique sound, the synths you use really create the song. I especially like the ambiance, sounds great. The only problem I have with it really is that it doesn't seem to flow very well, it almost seems choppy in the way it transitions inbetween the 4 measure phrases. You could maybe solve this by having the ambiance fade out after each note instead of just ending, but maybe its just my tastes. I also really like the way the song comes down at the end. Well done all around, 5/5

dj-skeetskeet-69 responds:

yeah i see what you mean about the transitions. i usually do trance so the arrangement is pretty awkward here. thanks for the review!
