octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Ocean]

I thought this was gonna be tropical house at first, but it ended up being a cool (almost synthwave styled) song with tropical house instruments, big synths, and massive energy! It sounds like something that would play during a mission exploring the depths of a tropical sea or something like that. The melody is great and beautiful, and the song feels pretty dance-y. Great stuff, keep it coming and happy new year to you as well!

Slaureado responds:

Thanks for your feedback, it means a lot to me! I'm really glad you liked it)

[Eternal new]

This song has a feeling as if time slowed down, as it feels very introspective, but also very hopeful. The piano is very beautiful, even alone without any other instruments added. The melody just keeps evolving and the chord progressions are so beautiful. I only wish it was longer haha. Keep up the great work!

SarahRBC responds:

Maybe will be longer, eventually in another day.. or month..Even if small, thank you for this awesome review! I appreciate it. Thats very close to what i wanted to express! :) have a nice day.

[Vertunium - Bioluminescence]

Short but really cool! I love the weird mallet (?) instrument that fades in in the beginning. It sounds very crisp and kind of water drippy like if that makes sense? Makes me think of those bioluminescent shores with the weird blue plankton lol. The drop was also pretty good, and the mixing was very nice. Keep up the great work!

TheOfficialVertunium responds:

Thank you very much bud :D

[ｉｎｋｕｓｈｅｌ ９７ ~i97~]

I'm not sure what the song is referencing (if anything lol) but it sounds awesome! I love the pads/textures, and the slowed feel of it. The samples add a cool flavor to the song as well. The feeling is very introspective and moody. Great work, keep it up!

NitroOrient responds:

Thank you much! The name is referencing to the art (and its creator), which itself looks like a computer OS.

[Plan B]

I absolutely love the energy in this! It sounds like a risky space adventure with excitement and suspense. The synths you use work together so well, and the pacing of everything in the progression feels just perfect. The song has this very serious but also dancey feel which is a pretty cool combination. As always, great work, keep it coming!!

DreadOrpheus responds:

It's nice to read comments like this :O Thank you very much! :)

[When The Beat Drops]

I don't listen to a lot of EDM but the beat drop in this track had a long and cool buildup! I like the instruments you used, they sound very modern and impactful for dance genre stuff. Percussion is also really fitting. Great work once again, keep it up :)

Raylectro responds:

Thank you, I put a ton of work into this and even worked on it while on a 7 hour trip to South Korea. Glad it paid off!

[lost]

This definitely has a lost/mysterious vibe to it, I think you did a great job at that for sure! The chord progression I think did this trick well to begin with, by having it alternate mostly between two chords throughout. But the instruments you used as well as the ambiences really amplified this feeling beautiful. It's also just a really pretty selection, that kinda makes the song also feel dreamy and maybe even hopeful I'd say. Just really beautiful in general, once again keep up the awesome work!

AIMofficial responds:

thank you so much.

[Moment Of Happiness]

There's a lot of magical feelings in this song; it can be interpreted in many ways emotionally and just creates a very beautiful atmosphere. It can both be seen as lonely and a little sad, or calming and happy. Or both, that's what's so cool about this song :)

The instruments were very well chosen and mixed together, and the progression was varied and greatly executed. Listening to it makes me think of a snowy forest at night. Awesome work, keep it up!!

DJGpXGD responds:

i don't thing you can image how i feel after reading this, :)

[retrodrive]

Nice and spacious, I like it :D
The mix is great, the bass is nice, and the reverb-y bell instruments fit perfectly. The melody is also really pretty, and along with the bass/percussion does feel like something that would fit a ride pretty well. Great work, keep it up!

TheRealDanish1 responds:

thanks so much! i really appreciate it
