Coop's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Runescape {^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

Ghost Motel?

A nice piece that I think could certainly have been applied to the Ghost Motel Series, which is on Newgrounds. If only Violet-AIM and XwaynecoltX would make some more...

A nice mood is conjured up by this tune, one of quizzical whimsy, which I feel is something that you've captured nicely. Perhaps adding a little extra variation would have been nice, as it can get a little samey after a few times around. I do think that it is a very nice loop though, so that does detract from the length being a little on the short side.

i think it loops doesnt it?

[dance latin]

Not really Industrial

The tune itself needs a little work, as it's quite basic - the melody loop needs some modulation, in order to give us some variation, which is supplied in short order towards the end of the tune, but I feel that it needs to go further along this way.

It's a good tune that almost carries the Caribbean feeling of a beat and the way that their life is more easy going than that of other countries which tend to have more of a hustle and bustle about themselves.

With a little more effort, this could be made really nice - it's on the cusp of something great.

Decent loop

This piece is not a bad reflection of how a simple tune can be made into a very effective piece. Something that I can certainly see used for a 'Link-esque' game or movie.

I will say that I think you hit a duff note on the fifth run, where the notes start climbing again - it didn't seem to be the right note for the piece, though you might be able to get away with it...

Not really 'music'

I can call it a valiant experiment, but that would be where it stops - you've just given us a pattern of beeps that isn't really music, as it's hardly something that I'd catch myself humming on the way to work in the morning. It's not even something that I could say has practical uses for application on flash movies or games, save being an unusual form of torture for part of a military themed game.

it's suposed to be "spascey"

[Halo Theme {^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

Hmm...

Well, it's a cover version of the Halo theme, though I would suggest that you get a better recording set than you currently employ - it's picking up static on the loudest notes, which does take away from the quality of the piece a little.

It's a nice rendition, but in the mastering stage, you do need to put that little extra effort in to make sure that things like that don't happen.

alright man! thanks for the review!

[Bridal Creeper]

Good beat

Coming soon to a gymnasium near you, this track has a good beat for lifting weights or keeping a steady pace on cardiovascular equipment - just what is needed when you're working out.

I think that it's really a case of a nicely balanced piece. Saying it has a good beat really doesn't carry it far enough, as you've produced a far better piece than just the beat - both the melody and counter melody have excelled and this piece has quite a few layers of quality programming / arrangement, making up one hell of a tune.

Not sure about the name though...

WritersBlock responds:

Lol, I never thought of it like that. ;D
The song was actually meant to have a darker tone to it, and then name "bridal creeper" is the name of a weed that spreads and strangles plants. I just remembered it from childhood, and yeah, the name just stuck.
Thanks for your comments. <3

Ode to Flight of the Bumblebee

A really nice piece that for me tended to have quite a large reliance on the flight of the bumblebee - the fast paced drops down the scales just seemed so similar to it, it was uncanny.

A very accomplished piece that really does show how good a pianist you are. Keep up the good work :)

[Natural Curiosity]

Not a bad piece

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that this mellow and nicely paced tune is good work.

I can't really think of where to classify this song, but it seems that my mind is directing me to a man walking down the street, with nothing much to do. His hands in his pockets and he slowly meanders along the road, nowhere to go, no-one to see. A lazy day is a good day in his mind.

Nice description. Thanks for the 8!

[Sweet Moves (DjD)]

Great remix!

A wonderful piece of work that brings back a classic to my ears. I think that with a little more work, it could be one of the best that I've ever heard - perhaps consider adding the vocal sample back in along some of the lines... either that or get a voice artist to stop by and give you a few samples for the use as either a close approximation, or something different in the sound.

I think that aside from the decent rewriting of the classic, you've also added some nice sounds of your own to make it bigger and better - this isn't a tune that is a tribute to this classic, it's your own piece, that comes forth and makes itself known to one and all.

Mad-Muppet responds:

Woah, thanks for an awesome review! I was thinking about adding vocals, but I suck at doing that so it kind ruined it when i tried. But it's a good idea!

Go on the ghost train

A shame about the intro really, as it does sound quite messy, although when it clears up toward the end of the piece, it really does sound the more accomplished of the three pieces.

With a little more clearing up, it could become a really nice piece, which is made more ingenious by the fact that it is only one word being used for the entire piece.

I do feel like the ending of it sounds like a trip around the haunted house, which is a really weird setting for something like this... or so I believed.
