octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ominous]

This is interesting; it sounds housey and dark at the same time which is not something I'm used to. But I like it! The build up to the drop was great, and then when it finally happened it was very groovy and spooky. Great mixing and progression too. Keep up the good work!

[Chocnoon - Forever (DCXXIX)]

I found this song because of G2961's recommendation, this sounds amazing! I miss handsup like this honestly, so happy to hear something with such a fun and nostalgic style. The composition is great, the melody feels happy and uplifting, and the instruments you used were perfect for both the atmosphere and genre. This feels like the type of song I'd hear on some YouTube video in the late 2000s and would be dying to find out the track, that's how good it makes me feel haha. Keep up the amazing work!!

MWMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM responds:

i don't think this is exactly hands up, this is more like trance with hands up elements so it's techno trance

[octopus58 / 51 / A100]

This was super fun, thank you very much for having me!

SteveMaddenFootball responds:

Thank you so much, Michael!

[nominomu - the impermanence of dreams]

This sounds so mysterious but relaxing and happy at the same time, I think you did a great job with this! I like where the song carries you, and I also like the crisp effects making this song feel even more like a dream. The only thing I suggest is making the crisp effects a little less abrasive (or maybe just a little quieter), especially at the end, but besides that I have nothing else to suggest as it sounds great otherwise! Awesome stuff, keep it up :)

[Difficult Training]

Sounds very 80s, DX7 was perfect for this haha. I love the dramatic intro that leads into the exciting meat of the song. I think you also did great at making this sound like training montage music, it really works so well! Great stuff, keep it up as always :)

JustDen responds:

Thanks!! I love that 80's style lmao

[A Figment of Your Imagination]

I like how this track feels kinda like, speedy if that makes sense. You have a melody that feels like it progresses at a normal pace, but very fast gates for the harmony give the song an exciting backing. I also like the progression of the song, especially the shift around the middle. Great stuff once again, keep it coming :D

crispybatteryacid responds:

Thank you Mr. Octopus :D

[Frog Fashion]

Oooh, groovy! I dunno why, but this does kinda feel like frog music... maybe it's the main instrument you used that reminded me a bit of frog ribbits? Either way though it's a great song! I love the melody, the lighthearted atmosphere and the kind of silliness to it. The instruments you chose in general were also pretty cool. Awesome stuff as always, keep it up :D

BusanBlack responds:

Thank you so much! Yeah I felt this one had a lot of froggy spirit which is like sporadic hopping and croaking.

[Oasis Town]

The description is perfect for the song. The style and atmosphere definitely make the song feel like it came out of an early 2000s rpg, and the instruments only help add onto this. The melody is also really fun and I love the progression throughout the whole song! The melody, harmony and bassline all work super well together. Great work once again, keep it up :)

popolanoonestops responds:

tysm for listening and giving your thoughts :)

[Calm theme]

Definitely calm, and loungey, I love it :)
The selection of instruments really compliment each other, and the instruments are really well articulated. I just wish it was longer haha. Great work, keep it up!

[Crush]

This sounds so nice! The melody is very happy and exciting, and the combo of instruments you used/when they played in really helped with the happy atmosphere. I like all the different effects you put in here and there too, some of them sound bubbly and joyful. Definitely very dancey too! As always, keep up the awesome work :D
