octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Misson]

This sounds pretty 90's/early 2000s techno trance, I like it :)

Really cool use of acid like instruments with the piano, it definitely gave the music that oldschool feeling. The drum patterns were also very well suited. I really enjoyed this, keep up the awesome work!

[FLUX]

Very interesting lofi like ambient track. It sounds peaceful but mysterious at the same time. The bass growls softly in the background too which really helps with the mood. But also its just overall very relaxing, so I think you did a great job with that! Keep it up :)

[Coolman - Furious Factory]

Oh wow I love what the song turns into at 00:30! And after that melody keeps taking interesting and diverse turns. Love the composition with this honestly, makes for great game soundtrack music. Keep up the awesome work :)

Pciphidic responds:

thanks! super glad you liked it!

[Space Lobby]

You should be proud :)
This song sounds very calm and definitely spacey, and it varies itself up enough to be not very repetitive. Interesting wind down record like ending too, really helps add authenticity to the lofi genre goal. Keep up the nice work!

Oh wow! Nice to see a rating on my song after such a long time. Thanks for a criticism.

[Unfinished Game OST - Jungle Boogie]

Not only does this sound like something that would fit perfectly in a Donkey Kong game, but it's also very relaxing and honestly I can see it being used for a lot of things! Love the progression and periodic change in percussion, with alternating patterns on the pan flute as well. Just overall a very beautiful composition and I think it's great. Keep up the awesome work :)

[Mwhaha]

Ooh this sounds cool! And the pattern on the piano is very versatile/non repetitive which helps the song progress. Addition of strings along with the piano was also a great idea. Keep up the awesome work, cant wait to hear the finished product!

Thanks, my guy. It is going along well. :D

[Sonic 2 Ending [TABBY Remix]]

Very interesting take on probably one of the nicest songs from sth 2 :)

Love the sidechain and pad like sounds, it really helps make the song sound like its for an ending. And the transition at 1:10 is very cool. Keep up the awesome work and good luck with the release!

[Adventure!]

The FM bass really added to the videogame adventure feel to this song, and the other FM instruments just gave this a very special nostalgic feel. Very well paced, and feels very adventurey! It even loops very well. Keep up the nice work :)

[My Turn]

This is really interesting, calm, relaxing and pretty. It sounds like something that could play during night time in a open world sandbox like game. Something very special about how you made it. Keep it coming :)

[Forgotten]

Very cool use of effects to add variation to the song! It's definitely very moody and interesting so I like what came out of it. The drum patterns and scratches really added to the whole feeling as well. Nicely done, keep it coming :)

Casper responds:

Thanks;)
