TjA's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[We Are Lost (full Vocals)]

This reminds me...

of the early 90's when house musicians were experimenting with what sounds they could produce using electronic instruments. The vocals (no doubt some sort of vocoder, a popular "instrument" in house) were repetitive and had the "background mutters". Very retro, very good. I enjoyed this a lot, not many people make audio tracks like this anymore. Hope to hear more like this.

Why havent i reviewed this yet?

I love it when people include Jazz and Metropolis-style to Drum and Bass. As ZSL said, its like Cyberpunk music, I think it reminds me of Ken Ishiis' music, not to say it isn't original but due to that breakdown leading into the Funky rhythm. The sounds are very soft, yet the drums are hard and the bass is thick and funky. It really gives this song a sense of movement.
I'd love to know what VSTs you used for this. They have great warmth and don't sound empty at all. Whether that was your doing, I'm not sure, but if it was, great work. The piano had a great feel to it, as i said before, very Metropolis sounding. If your wondering what i mean by "Metropolis", it's the sound track of the anime-feature "Metropolis" whichs soundtrack had a lot of futuristic 50's jazz sounds in it (as it was based around that 50's detective style).
I hope to hear more like this from you. If your not "bbbbbooooorrrreeeeddd" I think it'd sound even better.

Paroxym responds:

Wow what a review. I forget which Vst's I used ill pm u later. Thanks for listening.

[Circuit Remade]

Nice Work

Its got a nice tempo, and with that melody makes it very cheerful. The VSTs are great. The drums when went well with this, and added to the beat. A very good tune indeed.

Mitrox responds:

thank you TjA.

Doesnt sound right...

without that black womans wailing in it.

Jebbal responds:

Its hard to admit, but you're absolutely right :(

Thanks for the review!

[Say Goodnight (vocals)]

I liked it

I enoyed it up until around, 2:48. I enjoyed the intro it was very subtle but full, the bass was very nice, and guitar added to that. Ive not heard the original so im not sure if this was a good cover, what i do know is that this is a good audio. I hope to hear more from you, but maybe less screaming next time. :)

TwilightNecrosis responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed it, man.
Nicholls absolutely slayed this thing, it wasn't even twitching anymore by the time I got my hands on it.
And sorry you don't like screaming, but I do. That's metal, take it or leave it.
Thanks for the kind review.
METAL FOREVER!!!

[Paradise on E (Karco Remix)]

Nice

Sounds like a good Chillout remix of it, but that a sort of Ibiza/Caribbean sound to it, very topical sort of sound. Nice pad, synths yet i think it'd sound better with it less... prominent around 4:09. I liked your use of effects and mixing, gave it some good progression. Hope to hear more remixes.

Karco responds:

Thanks! :D Remixes... well, I could find a good ParagonX9 song to remix but I think that'd be going too far. XD I'm definitely not done with remixes, though, you can definitely expect to hear more from me in time.

Thanks for the review! :)

[Castle of Tears]

"You know it's a classic."

I saw this on All-Time, and you know, this is an amazing song.

I wasnt a diehard Castlevania fan, in fact, I wasnt a diehard for all Nintendo series at one point or another. Got bored of somethin' (mainly this song),though moved on to another song, you know? Enough about me, though.

This song was not awesome. No joke. It had just enough of the original song to have that sickening unoriginal feel (like a copied midi file), and just enough new material to make it feel old and worn like most video game songs. But anyone whose anyone knows that nothing can beat the true classic, apart from an original song. And a bland assortment of instruments, although a harder, deeper bass would'nt rocked this place een more. And that's what made this song not so awesome.

Oh well. At least I'm not one of those random reviewerd that go "OPMG AWESOME 101010101010!!1!" And the sad part is, most of those guys are grown men. And I'm not 14. Lol.

See ya!

NemesisTheory responds:

Don't you have anything better to do with your time?

I mean seriously. You could be working (making money to spend on doing fun things), you could be hanging out with your friends, you could be hanging out with your (imaginary, perhance?) girlfriend, you could be playing videogames, you could be living your life.

Instead, you're trying (key word is try) to be amusing by ripping off an earlier review for no reason other than to look like an idiot, because that's what you're doing. If that's what you set out to do, by all means, consider it successful.

Kids such as yourself shouldn't waste their time like this. You could be doing better things. But alas, it wasn't meant to be.

So by all means, crawl back under that hole you came from and next time try to be a little more creative so that AT THE VERY LEAST, I can chuckle. The most you're getting out of me today is a facepalm.

[Feel the Trance on Your Skin]

I am jumbalore

and i will eat your pudding

HouseMasta responds:

i have no idea what you mean by that :3

[Trance-Hop Theme]

Sounds like...

its good, feel free to make the vowels(?) clearer. Some compression on the percussion, but thats just me. good job.

SuperGoodSound responds:

oh believe me - you don't even want to know how much compression is slamming through the entire mix here. I wanted to make it super-snappy though. Surprised it still turned out nice.

thanks man.
