stunkel's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Halindir - Intro (Europa]

Nice work man! Sounds really cool. I thought that the chimes(?) could have been turned down a little bit and the acoustic instruments could have been brought up some more. It sounds lovely though. Sounds like I have been challenged to a finally, but I am in a train of thought debating whether I should go and meet the person, because I am worried I might die. At least that's what I saw :P Nice work man!

[Not Really Mad Jack]

Nice work man!

[Halindir - Europa II]

Hey man! Nice track. Sounds really peaceful... Sounds like a person trying to avenge his fathers death by climbing up the mountain where the dojo is so he can learn karate, and then I finally get challenged by my sensai, in which I defeat him in a calm but intense battle. I don't know why this is such a low rating... Nice work man, I can tell you worked hard to make this :D

5/5 star rating!

Halindir responds:

Thank you very much Lord Stunkel, I'm glad to have stirred your imagination :)
And best of luck on your "two songs per week" challenge, I'll be checking them out whenever they pop up.

The reason for the low rating is this recent wave of extreme zero-bombing in the ambient channel. I've tried to counter it as much as I could, by voting my own pieces once every day, though it doesn't seem to help. It's a shame though, when everyones new material gets smashed into the mud.

[Jazzy thing]

I really like this. Its nice and simple. Really lovely. What if you called it "Summers Breeze"? Love it man, nice work!

BlazingDragon responds:

Hey, thank you very much sir! :)

[As Beauty Withers]

DAMN!!! This is pretty epic dude. Sounds really awesome. Really awesome intro and drums, awesome build up... and I don't know what to say... It all just sounds lovely! Sounds great. One of your best in my opinion. Nice work man!

Tremulos responds:

Thanks man! To be honest this isn't one of my favorite songs that I've made, but I've gotten really positive feedback on it so I guess I did good :P I do like how the intro worked out, and I'm glad I decided to add that instead of making it a loop.

[8-Bit Symphony]

Very nice! :D It sounds like it could be the field map theme for an old school mario game! Like Super Mario World on SNES or something. I actually listened to an 8-bit song earlier today, and I said this... 8-bit music is so nostalgic for some reason. It has that "I want to go back to that" feel. It's incredible how just an instrument choice can totally change a song up. All 8-bit music is really amazing. Some of my favorite songs are 8-bit. But for this song, I was grooving in the beginning, and then soon enough I was bouncing up and down, shaking my head back forth. Lots of variety in the song. Keeps me interested, and I'm sure other people think the same thing! Nice work! I really enjoyed listening to it!

[Halindir - Europa]

Nice work man!

[LB - Complex]

Hmm... It sounds pretty good dude, I think its sort of dubstep, but techno? I have no idea DX But nice work man

LazyBucks responds:

I dunno, kinda techno with a bit of attitude me thinks

[Pkmn Custom Battle Theme]

Wow, pretty interesting! If this had a bit better quality instruments, and was a little fuller, this would make a great addition to the pokemon games! Nice work!

BlackOrWhit3 responds:

Thank you! Well these are from the original games I think (soundfont) but I do see your point! Also yes, as I said, this would definitely change and improve as I'm thinking of a second verse already! And gah...the rating @.@ IF YOU'RE GONNA RATE LOW, PEOPLE, AT LEAST TELL ME WHY.

[The End of Time]

Ooooo, something new I see! I really like the fast drum beat. Really nice dude. Keep it up! :D

Tremulos responds:

Thanks man! I gotta review some of your stuff, I keep forgetting :P
