octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[NEW SOUND]

Really relaxing :D
Kinda sparkly and energetic, but also has that early morning feeling to it where it's hopeful and calm. I love the textures, the pads, and all the instruments just coming together. It's all very well mixed too. Great song and great atmosphere, keep it up!

[DJ Lomka - Timeless Bizarre (2022)]

Звучит супер! Мелодия дает впечатление бесконечного падения. Бас очень хороши, и мелодия была интересной сначала прям до конца. Замечательны трек, так держать!

[Highway Hustler]

Ooh definitely has a funky chase vibe, I love it! Would probably even fit in some 80s/90s movie scene lol. I love the instruments you used, and the organs sound so powerful and sick when they kick in. Somehow also sounds a little like sonic music too lol, maybe it's FM instruments or something. The progression is also amazing, it constantly evolves and spices itself up. Keep up the amazing work once again!!

SnekkMusic responds:

Thanks for the kind words! For the chorus bit (after the organs), I was definitely inspired by Sonic, using a lot of Korg instrumentation there.

[KEY GENERATOR]

Let's go keygen music!!! I love the keygen style a bunch :D
This does sound like something that would come with some kind of keygen, just slightly longer. I'm honestly impressed you managed to utilize that one Nexus chiptune DL because I always found it bleh, but in here it actually sounds pretty good! The slow introduction of more instruments was very nicely executed. Great work, keep it up!

Ximular responds:

Thanks for review!

[dont talk to me]

Starts off nice and fancy, and gets a nice actiony kick shortly after, smooth :D
Feels like something that would play on a calm street in a city at night. Or something that would play in a beach town. The addition of guitars towards the end was really nice. Great stuff, keep it coming!

ty for the review! <3

[Vastness]

This song feels like a journey, and the emotions are hopeful, lonely, and spacious. It's beautiful! That instrumental drop was awesome though, it kind of sparks a bit more hope closer towards the end. It also provides an energetic instrumental kick to really drive the melody home. Amazing stuff, keep it up!

[the day and the dawn]

It sounds very carefree and beautiful, I love it :)
Kind of like riding your bicycle down hill with the wind going in your face or something lol. It's just kinda that mix of calmness and energy that really sets the mood, where it's also uplifting and fluttery. The instruments you chose are very good, and the mixing is perfect. Keep up the great work :D

[luvvixide - Motorola]

This has such an awesome retro feel to it, I love it! It's simple so it fits a ringtone, but the melody is so dancy and early 2000s. The compression is perfect and the song feels like it fits perfectly on an old phone. Keep up the amazing work!!

[just passing through]

Magical and happy, sounds like a summer evening on a boardwalk by the beach :)
The piano and strings do an amazing job at displaying emotion, and the silly percussion keeps the song light hearted. It honestly sounds like something out of Animal Crossing (city folk maybe) for one of the night time city songs. But it's also completely unique and just has a beautiful feel to it. I think this is amazing, and you did an absolutely wonderful job at making everything come together! Great work, and keep it up :D

What a strange song, and what a strange thing to remix lol. Yet this ended up being so groovy! I like how you took something so random and managed to make it sound like well.. this! A great melody, great harmony, and even managed to squeeze in an odd time signature beat. I love when people get creative, and this is definitely one of the best sampling examples I've heard so far. Amazing work, keep it up!

glotch responds:

thank you so much!! i am now feeling very validated in my sample game lol, i wasn't totally convinced it would be a good fit but once i committed to the bit i had to complete it
