octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Projection]

I was listening to this while working and honestly it did really help me zone in and focus better! It has a steady flow which is interesting and beautiful, yet not too chaotic which leaves room for relaxation and focus. There was so many variation throughout the track as well, so it felt like it never got boring! I typically don't listen to longer tracks and stuff but I'm definitely happy I listened through the whole thing here haha. Great work, keep it up!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it

[Interdimensional]

You should be in love with it, it sounds awesome! Not even for like a first attempt kind of thing, just in general it sounds great :D
I love the energy and atmosphere, everything is almost always constantly moving, and the percussion work is insane. Everything keeps changing up and varying, preventing the song from stagnating and keeps it interesting. There is also definitely a spacey feel, so I think the name is very fitting. Keep up the amazing work!!

KuanMusic responds:

Tysm!!! :D

[goodnight, goodbye]

If I heard this while falling asleep I probably wouldn't be sleeping anymore lmao
but that said I think it's a pretty cool experiment, it has a soothing element to it but at the same time is also so unsettling and gives a feeling of impending doom. Keep up the great work :D

wineplume responds:

"feeling of impending doom" wow... it is intended to be kinda unnerving at some point, yep. thank you for the review!

[leaving the past behind]

You're really good at making different kinds of fun styles, I love how this song sounds! It sounds like a more energetic 80s pop track. The instruments you chose are very befitting of the era, and also have an uplifting vibe while being more fast paced. I loved the progression a lot, and the melody was very beautiful. Keep up the amazing work as always, love hearing new stuff from you!

GuitARBEn responds:

Thanks!

[~[Lithium]~]

I like the slow build up of instruments in this song, it has that zone out atmosphere again and is relaxed. The bass you put in feels fun and adventurous, while the main instrument (electric piano?) has a simple but pretty pattern that helps keep pushing the song forward. Great work once again, keep it coming!

[~[Beryllium]~]

It was very chill and pretty, made me space out a bit and then I didn't realize the song ended haha. I like the main lead, it's pretty fun and simple, keeping the song easy listening. The title along with the song also makes me think of a visual of continuously zooming in to square Beryllium crystals lol. Keep up the great work :)

DeimosMusic responds:

2 notifications omg also thanks!

Dude this is sick what
I love the energy in this, its so danceable, and the progression is so funky and fun! It feels very interesting from beginning to end and it keeps changing up. The instruments you used are also so cohesive and work so perfectly together, it's kinda chiptuney but modern at the same time and I love it. Keep up the amazing work, this is so awesome!!

Bebrinki responds:

bro 😭😭 i am so pleased to hear this, ty for support

[MarkRuff21 - Space Ghosts (2025 Rework)]

Man, this is great music to zone out to. There are parts that change throughout the song, but the ones that instill repetition kinda make me feel calm and relaxed. The steady percussion and bass also helps with that. The piano and pads play really pretty chords and it does sound pretty spacey, while the pluck that plays the arp sounds ghosty so I think the title fits perfectly haha. Great work, keep it up!

MarkRuff21 responds:

Thank you so much!! :D

[Unofficial - Drift's Theme]

I dunno, this sounds pretty sick especially for an unofficial theme haha
But yeah this was pretty cool, energetic, and kept changing up and progressing to keep itself interesting. I like the main lead instrument that appears in the beginning and around the middle again, it's grungey and makes the song sound futuristic for sure. Great stuff, keep it coming :)

[Swingin']

The beginning reminded me of some Mario ds minigame music for some reason haha, but I also really liked the whole thing! After the small hihat intro, it sounds very beautiful, original, and calm. But most of all happy and dancey too! I love the instruments you chose to use, and the progression is nothing but cheery. I felt really warm listening to this. Great work, keep it up :D

SiriiuX responds:
