Coop's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[==(Deep Blue Clouds)==]

Quiet and inspiring

I think this tune is really awesome - you've added quite a tribal sounding background rhythm to it, giving the impression of clouds over the Amazon river to me, which is a really nice impression.

I think that the overall use of the pipes really gave this tune the body that it needed, with a good amount of percussion to keep the illusion going.

Overall, a very nice ambient piece.

[Last Impression]

Good variation

Not a bad tune here and I think that you certainly could have produced maybe 2 or even 3 individual tunes from this, such is the variation that you've used within this track.

Not really my idea of an industrial track, but still, who am I to pass comment like that. I'd have thought that more pumping bass would have carried a track into that style of genre

svinepels responds:

Thanks for the review. Maybe I should change it to Miscellaneous, I just don't like to have all my songs listed in that genre.

[Wats goin on?]

You're right.

The ending truly is priceless, because it means that I can stop listening to this garbage.

I think that you really need to explore a new sound for your next album, truth be told. What you've got at the moment is just some random ramblings into the mic, backed up by a medium-heavy metal tune in the background.

I'd certainly suggest that you work on actually making lyrics to sing, because this stuff that you've come up with is even worse than Rap, which is saying a lot. Singing is a very worth profession and it will certainly make a difference to your productions.

I just threw a bunch of shit together.

By the look at your face because Im going to fuck it!

[Sleep In Your Tomb]

Nice work

A good , hard rocking song, that I think only warranted a longer solo for the guitars, as it sounds such a good solo, then got interrupted by the vocals, which was a shame.

I think that the lyrics were well written, but could have been sung using the higher pitched close harmony that was used later in the tune, as that sounded easier to understand and just gave me a better feel for the song itself.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks a lot, man. I'm currently reworking another vocal version, just to get it right. The smoother vocals at the beginning, change the feel of the whole song. But not for the worse. Just different. It may end up with all cleans. I also tried the leave the leads alone, when placing vocals. So check back in a few days, I'd love to hear your thoughts on a new version. :D
Thanks for the review!\m/

[Paff!]

Interesting

I'm not sure about the start and finish of this song. There's about a second and a half of silence, which coudl easily be cut, just to make the thing sound better. The static loaded rambling at the end could also either be tidied up or cut out completely to make the production a lot better.

Not sure about the lyric, but if that's what you've got to do, then that's what you've got to do.

I did like the guitar in it and you could have done with a lot more of it - throwing in things like a 20-30 second solo would have really added an explosive kick to the piece overall.

svere responds:

Thanks for a great review! And the silence in the beginning is cause this was on a cd i burned so there were a small time between the songs.

[8-biterror]

Not bad

It goes a little abstract towards the end of the tune, which is a shame, as the start of it was pretty good as an 8-bit theme for some sort of horror game, though I would suggest that it is cartoony (possibly for kids) rather than classic blood-spilling horror

I'm sure there are plenty of games out there that can make use of this fine tune

[<==Cry Out In Terror==>]

A little too busy

I can see the first part of the tune is great, but when you've suddenly got a conflict of the two melodies playing over the top of each other, it stops working well.

It's far too short for a proper tune, so work on making it loop, or increase the length to around 2 minutes. I think that these two issues being sorted would make the tune sound vastly better.

DjCompass responds:

Excellent, a review looking for something specific. If i every get off my lazy butt and revisit all my obviously lacking songs this one will become a loop without conflicting melodies.
Thanks for the review.

[p4c-I'llBeLovin[LostSoul rmx]]

Title needs work

It's not a bad remix, but to be honest, the title really does need some work - Why not just call it 'Lovin you long time remix' - people will learn your name by the quality of your work, not because you've plastered your name everywhere.

I think that this piece could use some reduction in the static on the vocal samples, which would really improve it. Maybe a long instrumental section, which would show off your own work, rather than the vocal talents of Mariah Carey as well.

[Reivew Request Club]

p4c responds:

well, i don't think title-criticism of that nature is really much of a review, but in response, i didn't write it out since theres a maximum size to the title name, so i fit in every character i could. i put my name on the beginning of it for the very reason you said--people would learn the quality of my work, so if they actually know something is made by me, it's recognizable by the little information given in the audio portal's front page.

in terms of quality, i can try finding a better acapella. this one was in 128 kbps posted on carey's site, so i couldnt do very well on enhancing hte quality of that. and sure, i can make an extended version of this, its pretty short as is lol. but that'll be done later, if ever.

thanks for looking!

[The First Sunrise Original Mix]

Good pacing

This piece could so easily have been ruined by heading towards the usually faster paced works of Trance. However, you've reigned it in and have presented us with a great little tune, that isn't offensive to the ears, but has a nice pacing, rhythm and driving beat.

If you could spend an extra few minutes mastering the song, it would be great, as that static blend over the top is a little annoying, but I can live with it, strangely enough. The only other thing I think you need to do is sort out a loop, to really finish it off.

[<--An Angry Afterlife-->]

Kinda Creepy

Not a bad little tune, that does get something stirring within about the nature of this song being designed to p[ut me on edge, ready for something to come leaping out of the wardrobe.

Nice work with the piano getting such quick work on the keys - I'm assuming with that feature, it is a case of computer program, rather than, for example, properly played and recorded.

I think that it could have stood to be about another minute or two longer, a bit more variation and the occasional other surprise - fade the music out and put something sharp and icy in there, for example.

[Review Request Club]

DjCompass responds:

Good feedback, thanks ^^
Yes, im sad to admit that it is a case of computer program. I might be able to play this if i took the time to convert it to notation, but its easier to just let the computer play the music in my head, and i'm lazy anyways XD
I might revisit this one day, in which case it will get longer.
Thanks for the review.
