octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cacophony]

Harsh and intense song with smooth instruments at the same time, I like it! It sounds chaotic but also in kind of a hopeful and mysterious way. Would fit perfectly in some kind of game boss battle. I love the simple leads you used that work so well together and make the song so exciting. Also the shift at 1:52 is so cool, it feels like the whole song just changes all of a sudden! Great work, keep it up :D

[Saiko - Cosmic Cyclone]

The beat is great! I love the instruments you used, they are all powerful and work very well together. The harmony is great, and the flow is awesome. I wish it was longer haha. Amazing stuff, keep it coming!

[Bitter]

Very pretty and magical, I like it :D
It has a nice start, and you also maintain a cool little fuzzy effect throughout the song that helps establish the mood. The slow introduction of more parts or instruments not only fits the style but is just well done in general. The chord progression feels nostalgic, and the mood just feels like something cozy to listen to at night on a rainy day. Great work, keep it coming!

Reddrad responds:

eyyy thanks man. first attempt to do synthwave in a hot minute so i like to hear this

[minecraft type beat :)]

I wish it was a little longer, but it definitely sounds like something that would fit right into the OG Minecraft OST! It's just one instrument and maybe a pad with some effects, yet it sounds so complete and pretty. It's a very beautiful sleepy melody and can easily make me drift off. Great work, keep it up!!

Lot7even responds:

thanks :3

[skylight]

Nice little beat to zone out to :D
I like the chops and how you made the percussion match up to them time wise. The instruments you chose also work pretty well together. Great work, keep it up!

[Qshunt - Floating Pointless (Remastered)]

Woah, nice! This sounds like a track for some speedy game or something where you just have to go fast past stuff. I love all the different melodic instruments you incorporated. You made the piano stand out so well when it comes in, and everything is so well mastered. It's kind of a very colorful mix if that makes sense, just very flavorful all over. Progression is also very cool, and I love the style. Amazing work, keep it up!!

[Kamoshida Jones]

This sounds nice :D
I love the 80s FM instruments, and honestly this could've easily been part of a action movie score at the time. The progression is good as it varies up and prevents itself from being stagnant, and the mixing is good too because it lets the important instruments be heard nicely and clearly. Great work, keep it up!

[Sparkling Crevice]

This sounds super actiony and I love it! It starts out melodic, but then gets super gritty and mechanical before returning back to melodic segments. It creates a feeling of suspense, especially towards the middle, but then sounds kind of hopeful and breezy after that. There's so much heavy energy in this track too, which helps contribute to it's unique atmosphere. Awesome stuff, keep it coming!

[dreams flavored soda]

Definitely very dreamy and beautiful :)
It's very impactful and full of power, but in an uplifting and happy way. The atmosphere is spacy and lighthearted, hopeful even too. The pads are great, and the melody is so soothing. Great work, keep it up!

[A Hop Skip And A Jump]

Ooh, so weird and funky I love it! It's kind of spirally if that makes sense, with a mood that feels like going down a vortex in some mysterious adventure. I love the instruments you chose, and the beat makes this extra exciting. Awesome work, keep it up!
