octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Melodic Aliens]

I love how hard hitting this song gets at times! The intro is really pretty but almost immediately the action kicks in. And around by the middle of the song, the energy is all over the place. There's also so much variation, you kind of never know what to expect, and that's pretty cool! Also a lot of melodic elements, which I'm personally very fond of when it comes to dubstep. Keep up the great work!

NightHawkNH responds:

Heck yeah man thanks for the review. I'm glad you liked it

[m4g // Touching Grass]

This sounds really actiony and dancy at the same time, I love it! Like some action scene at a rave or something. I love the combination of softer pads with harsher leads and whimsy sounding plucks. The melody is really fun and the bass is great. It feels a little repetitive at times (and I think a little bit of variation could help), but I still love it a lot. Great work, keep it coming!!

[Don't bike]

This is so relaxing and warm, but also kinda funky, I love it! The first thing I think of is staying warm at home while looking at rain on a dimly lit street at night, just this kind of combo of being cozy with a little bit of action going on. The pads were so nice and helped add to the fuzzy/warm feeling, and the percussion gave just the right about of energy to the track. The mallets also helped accent this song and give it more of a magical feel. Amazing work, keep it up!!

Feynmar responds:

Hey, thanks for your comment, really appreciate it! Yeah was going for that warm but slightly mysterious vibe. Hope to put out more things like this soon-ish. I have many tracks that just need a little bit of tweaking and then they're ready to release. I'm glad you appreciated the pads, not everyone notices those things!

[Untitled Ukelele]

I like the combo of the three instruments, and the progression especially towards the end. It's short sweet and simple. Great work once again, keep it coming :D

BigBlueBazooka responds:

Thanks!

[... and we been searchin for the stars]

The thing that instantly captivated me with this song is the percussion; it was weird... but in a good way! The song delves even further into the whole "weird" thing by playing either slightly off tune melodies, all the while adding beautiful droning noises to the back. So it still feels funky, but also spaceous and mysterious. Great work, keep it coming!

["Trancefusion Dreams" :3]

Lol I love how you said you got motivated by frontpage, only to get frontpaged, that's awesome

This was another great song! Definitely felt like 2010s trance/techno. Your own unique style was shining through and the song sounded awesome from start to finish. Keep it coming :D

G2961 responds:

Thank you very much! Yes, I am very motivated by the fact that my pennies end up on Frontpage. For me, this is a reason to make songs, putting my soul into them.

[Horizon]

Было очень приятно послушать :)

Это звучит как что то я бы слушал по дороге назад домой в машине, и смотрел из окна на светлое небо. Инструменты красиво друг друга поддерживают, и мелодия тоже очень красивая. В общем, классный трек! Так держать :D

[Arcade Blaster]

This has an awesome house feel while managing to reference a lot of arcade motifs, love it! It has a great positive and happy feeling that makes you wanna dance haha. The progression was also really good, with repetition and variation in all the right places. The song is also very well mixed, especially with the bass popping and being crisp, while the lead instruments make themselves heard and take a lot of space. Beautiful work, keep it coming!!!

[Candrin's Theme - The Vagrant]

Definitely has that retro arcade machine feel, love it! Looking at the character you linked, the music sounds like it really fits him too. There's such a great energy to this track, it's dancy and actiony. The portamento you have sometimes also just tugs at the heart strings, it's so awesome. And it sounds like it would loop perfectly, too! Amazing and beautiful work, keep it coming!!!
