Coop's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Green, Piano(NB Remastered)]

Soothing

This is such a nice song, that I'd decided to add it to my list of favourites. It's just the sort of tune I need to put a smile on my face and it certainly helps me to unwind... that is until I switch back to reality and play some hard rock, while playing my games :P

Quite mellow and well mixed, with the strings in the background, and the subtle backing of the percussion. I'm running out of superlatives to try and describe this piece. A good length piece, with the artist's fingers taking a more than generous walk over the keys in a bit of free-form at the end. Looped round nicely.

1 change I'd make - about three quarters of the way through, why don't you stop the background music and focus the attention on the piano. A solo would blow the mind and be a truly amazing addition.

Jurian responds:

For me it feels like piano stuff with stuff around it so, maybe that's because I play piano, I understand what you mean, but yeah:p never thought about it like that.

[In teh Dungeon]

Very 8-Bit

Reminds me of retro games which are based in dungeons. I quite like it - the sounds are meant to be creepy, even if they aren't as subtle as is needed for that to sound perfect.

If you're going to go slightly further and make an ambient loop, you need to make it about another 3-4 minutes long, make it more suspenseful and possibly add something like rolling thunder, for the classic horror gambit :P

[Detonator]

I'm gonna blow!

The tune starts off quietly, which is a good way to go, but surely with a title like Detanator, you're going to finish with a massive crescendo? That's what I was expecting, but you left me to hang :(

Anyway, you've created a nice piece here, with the tune putting me in the mind of some guy planting a bomb and progressing on to try and blow things up.

This says to me that he failed, as it didn't go bang in the end.

FullyClothedMike responds:

You know what?
You're right.
It DOES need a massive bang to round this off.
I'm gonna work on the ending of this, and I'm gonna make it explode!
Thanks for the suggestion.

[UNCE]

UNCE?

What does that mean? It sounds more like 'Unts', as in Cunts. Maybe that's just me.

A nice beat, but you really need to give us more than one word for the song - gets too repetitive for my liking, even if you repeat it thousands of times.

Still, if it worked for Fatboy Slim, it can probably work for you - he just came up with more imaginative titles though :P

[Push the button]

What's going to happen if I do?

I quite like the Stephen Hawking remix that you've done here with the computer voice. It's quite creepy and this piece certainly wouldn't be out of place in a nightclub.

Maybe throw in some long low notes, just to give it more of a club feel, but other than that, it's a good tune.

[Green, piano]

Jazz Piano?

Played yourself, or made through a computer program?

I like it, it's got a good sound and is quite an uplifting track. Kind of the song you need if you've had a hard day at work and things haven't gone as if you've planned them out.

Maybe stick a choir in the background with the strings and have them singing some sort of "Aah" to go along with the tune.

Jurian responds:

Played all myself, as all of my songs, except the dance stuff.

[*Stay*]

Quite upbeat

I can almost get down and groove to this... if it wasn't for my bad back, that is.

Other than it being too short, there isn't really much wrong with this track. You could do with making it into a loop, because when you fade the music out, the final beat stay around, which seems wrong in my ears.

[The Reno- [A Heros End]]

Touching

I think that the strings were a nice piece, but I really think that you went over the top with the bell tolling in the background. I think that the piece itself is looking to be two separate pieces, with the death and the second peice encompassing the funeral.

Maybe release them as two separate pieces, then you could link them together in the comments or something similar.

TheReno responds:

So you want me to make a funeral piece and a death piece? No, it wouldnt work out right like you think it would. That and somebody woul come along and be like "Why dont you put the two together". xD Thanks for the idea though.

[Desert Run Zone]

What's in the desert?

Eagles? Enemies? Mines?

We could be here all night discussing this, but I feel that the beat and the keyboards really contributes to the whole presence of the tune, making it a very powerful piece.

The only negative thing I could say is that it's too damned short - you really need to give me something a bit longer, to deal with all of this power, help me to explain the metaphors etc :P

WritersBlock responds:

There's a giant robotnik machine chasing sonic through the desert. There are also spikes and mines, and machine insects, and crabs. Probably. There's actually a lot in the desert.

Too short, eh? Well, I was aiming to keep it nice and condensed, if you want something that goes the distance, try some of my other music, that has less practicality for flashes, but more potential for awesomeness. (note, I'm still working on a decent piece like that, bear with me...)

[Sunny Days]

Starsky & Hutch?

This sounds like the sort of track that you'd hear towards the end of Starsky & Hutch, maybe even as the credits roll. I can hear them relaxing, after the bad guys have all been arrested and they are driving off into the sunset.

Especially the presence of the Wah-Wah pedal in this track, may have given me the impression of that classic 70s TV Program, but I quite like the image it gives me. Needs to be longer, as the longest tracks in the movies are always the ones over thre credits, as they have to fill time for things like who the star's bank managers are and everything like that.

Thanks for the review!
