Amazed
As always, I'm amazingly impressed by your music. It's strange to think how much talent you've got, what with the creativity behind your flashes and the ability to create pieces like this. There's really alot of passion in this song, and I felt emotionally tied to it throughout. The deep swells and builds allow for a lot of tension and feeling to be contained within the thing, and it sounds bloody great.
I always enjoy your music, hope to hear more soon.
Neat!
This is a really cool song! I greatly enjoyed the melodies and all the different parts you got going on in there! However, I feel that the use of one instrument really makes the song lack as a whole. If you had a bit more variety with your instruments I think this song could be a whole lot more than just a cute loop. Keep it up!
Thanks for the input! There are actually two instruments, although the second (a wooden drum) is mostly in the background and can be hard to notice. It starts at approximately 00:30.
Nice!
Wow, this is a really cool song to listen to. I would definately classify it as ambient, simply because I was so immediately relaxed and listened to it as background music for a while.
I really like the variety in the song, you've got alot of great sounds all contributing to the thing as a whole; the percussion particular gives it a really unique, almost latin flavor that gives it a lot of personality as a whole.
The guitar works very very well with the rest of music, it doesn't overpower or steal the show, but simply adds that character. The bass is great as well :D
I really enjoyed this all around, I'm always a fan of ambient and so this immediately got my attention. Thanks for the PM, this was a lot of fun to listen to!
Thanks for checking out the song dude, glad you like it.
I'm listening to it over and over again..
Fast paced and catchy, I love it. The sound of the thing is fantastic, I love the pan flute in there, you keep using it in songs but I don't mind cause it sounds so good. Keep it up, this stuff is great
Wow...
wow. this is just so nuts. I haven't really played DK2 since I was kid. I must have been 8 or younger (I'm 18 now). I just recently got a SNES emulator and immediately began playing this game. Yesterday I got to this level. I was about to quit, but decided I'd play for one more level. When I started the level, I just sat back, and listened to the music, just being totally and completely relaxed by it. And now, I happen to find this on the front page. The day after I get to this level after having not played the game for 10 years. This is so strange and random and awesome that its hard to fathom.
As for the song itself, it's fantastic. As soon as it began I was transported into the same relaxed, chilled phase I was in when I heard it yesterday. I'm faving this one, it's just fantastic. Thanks for such a weirdly cool experience.
thx for the review, glad you enjoyed it! ^_^v
Hello there pumpkin tits.
Neato, just saw this up.
Well, the beginning is just sexy. Its got good pacing and its mastered very very well, so tip of the hat to you thur. However, the song kinda loses steam from there. The problem with starting it off so intense is that you gotta keep up that energy, and it seems like it loses it's drive shortly after that intro. The entire middle section, while it sounds great, just doesn't fit in with the first bit, as its got a completely different feel and pace to it. Almost sounds like you should have had :47 on to the end be a different song entirely, as the intro juxtaposes it so much.
It's weird, because overall the song sounds fantastic. Like really really good. Everything sounds clean and smooth and well mastered, but as a listener, I'm just expecting more than what :47 on delivers.
Still overall I really enjoyed this, the atmosphere is great, but I thought I'd throw in my beef with it. Damn good song
5/5, 9/10, and DL'ed.
I'm liking these good reviews! Ya know, rather than the generic "WOW AMAZING COOL 5 AND 10 FOR YOU SIR". An honest 9 means more to me than an impulsive 10 from some people!
I spent loads of time trying to make this sound clear and masterful, so thanks for making a deal about that. :) Its not perfect, but its definitely the best job I've done! - When I first made the transition out of :47 I thought it sounded really awkward and just saved/closed the project expecting to go back to it later, wipe it clean and try something else. After listening to it several times, though, it started to sound okay. I remember SkyMarshall saying something like "When you spend a lot of time on a song, you start becoming deaf to what sounds good". I guess that's what happened. :P I still think it sounds alright, but its definitely not what you expect to hear on your first listen which will kinda throw you off. If you were hoping for the rest of the song to maintain that energy in the beginning, I can see why its somewhat disappointing.
Despite all that, I'm still proud of Solara! And I know you didn't mean for your review to seem completely negative, just focusing on the flaws. Which is good! Makes a useful review! Thanks for writing it!
You sexy man you!
Submit you're own stuff.
The reason that people are voting low on your submissions is because you are not actually creating anything. Speeding up an mp3 takes no work and skill, and doesn't sound good. The idea of newgrounds audio portal is that you create music and submit it as your own, not edit existing songs in such a thoroughly simple way.
Please, if you're going to submit songs here, create them yourself.
Never really needed a response to prove the stupidity of people who deliberately vote low, even if my submissions are shit.
Erm..?
So while this sped up version of the song sounds interesting, you really didn't create anything and dont have the right to upload it here. Try working on some original stuff and submit that, but someone's song thats simply sped up not only isn't your own, but isn't worth uploading.
Possibly you added stuff to the song to make it a bit of your own, but if you did I definitely didn't notice it. Make your own stuff next time :P
Woah, didn't actually expect anybody to respond to this. I was hoping it was my other audio (voice acting stuff) that would get some critiques.
Anyway, this was all for fun. I never wanted to claim the thing and if it's deemed inappropriate, I'd take it down in a heartbeat.
Is the 1 the lowest score? Huh, could've sworn there'd be a zero there somewhere. I just liked listening to this and thought other people might too.
god damn
You're stuff is just so impressive that it makes me depressed. Because you're a bloody fantastic composer, and I know it'll take a loooong time for me to get where you are haha.
Anyways, like always the song was fantastic. I love the energetic and gleeful feel that the song embodies, and I absolutely see myself playing an NES game to this. The composition overall is great, there's plenty of variety and its just interesting to listen to, which can be a hard feat with 8 bit.
Keep making more music, and PM me ANYTIME you release new songs, I want to hear em all!
5/5 and 10, looking forward to more :D
wow
I just listened to about 10 of the day-songs and this one is by far my favorite. Its just got alot of character; theres an intensely energetic feel throughout, and you maintain that while keeping it varied and interesting. This is the kinda trace I hope to be able to make one day, so thanks for giving me an excellent example to strive for.
Look forward to moar songs :D
5/5 10/10
