snoballandthmonyshot's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crystalline (rough mix)]

haha, only took 4 years to get a review for this one. sick mate, lovely stuff.
has a bit the air of the second CD of sketches for my sweetheart the drunk. or maybe could hear pj Harvey singing on this. I hope you're still into your music chap, you have a great sensibility and musicianship, time for bed still sounds great.
I hope life is good for you my dutch brother.
much love

[Keys [demo]]

yeh boy, still got it weeksy. classic balloony nonchalant emotiveness. lovely stuff chap.

got nowhere to go sounds like a house insurance advert; sorry, I still love you. that ambient nonsense sounds great mind, will give that a listen. haven't gone back further than your previous four but I shall be doing so to seek what surely will be a smouldering womb mothering some shiny diamonds have you been so prolific and musically omnipotent as you were.

will be posting a new track of my own soon, the first hopefully of many in many years.

respect mate, hope life is good for you

1st half reminds me of aphex. production is good. no solution chap; i haven't finished a track in years. is very hard to be subjective when listening to your own music. plus it sounds different if you're in a different mood/state of mind. go forth amigo

johnfn responds:

the first half reminds you of... APHEX TWIN? are we listening to the same song? and the same aphex twin? lol. to be fair i only listened to SAW I so maybe I could be missing something? PM me a link to one of their songs maybe.

thanks for the review though. maybe i shouldn't be asking you how to finish songs since you seem to have much more trouble with it than i. haha.

[thunderstorms of the mind]

nice slicey breaks here. is always fun. the piano cuts are a favourite of mine. add some real ambience here. wonky synth is cool. the structure of that mid part is great. the beat lacks a little punch to my drunken ears, maybe the lead synth is too high, dunno, the beat seems a little hidden at the end. my ears are mashed however. really good'yun tho, good energy, catchy, well done. 4 and a half because you can prolly do better.

johnfn responds:

Thanks for dropping by and reviewing. I think you're right about the beat, I wasn't quite sure how to do DnB I guess. Actually relistening to it you're exactly right, the beat needs WAY more presence in the second half. IDK what I was thinking. Well, at least I'll know now for next time.

I really like your justification for 4.5 over 5. I need you to pretty much say the thing on all of my new songs so that I can constantly be pushed to do better. thanks a lot for the review and dropping by.

[The Running Man]

sick mate. sounds great, very cinematic, some real nice mysteriosoness to it. chord changes from 55 secs are lush.

[End Sequence (Demo)]

sounds pretty heavy mate

holla

easy boot,
just clocked your review for overcock so thought i'd do the courtesy of checkin one of yours.
seriously ghetto track. got a great mood and vibe to it.
flows really well; some real nice change ups.
I agree in part with jackrocker in the sense that maybe dropping parts in and out may add to the interest and dynamics as well as giving a vocalist some guide/ideas for a flow.
anyhoos, will definately check your other stuff later. have started to dip my toe back in the pool myself so i may have some more noise for your listening soon.
good luck amigo
ped:)

buyj3llo responds:

Excellent. I can't wait to hear your new stuff.

alright chappy,
not my bag, a little too 4 to the floor for my pallette. production sounds well crisp to my ears. interesting and effective use of rhythm, a lot more going on in that department than a lot of trance on newgrounds. don't know much about this style so i have no tips in that respect and my production level is kinda shit so no tips there. good show.
;ped

just read the review below, the percussion at the beginning worked fine, some peoples ears just aren't used to stuff that doesn't hit crack on the beat...
