octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[bone apple teeth]

Almost instantly this song has a very techno/dancy beat with a low growl, really cool! I like the incremental layering of more instruments and the changes in the melody. The whole track also has this kinda dark feeling but adventurous at the same time. The break at 1:30 is also really interesting. Great work as always, keep it up :D

wineplume responds:

thx, the breaks at 1:30 are controlled by some kind of... chorus? or phaser? (i think?), but you can barely hear it (the effect) lmao

[Learning From The Spirit Fox - leveled]

Very interesting atmosphere, I like it! Would fit in a game very well. It feels arctic, snowy kinda, and cold but also beautiful at the same time. Kind of makes me think of looking at aurora borealis on top of an icy landscape. I really like the textures you use, the progression, and the percussion fits super nicely too. Great stuff as always, keep it up!

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it. ^_^

[No More No Less]

Very interesting modern melody that sounds like it was constructed with older keygen instruments, I love it! You always manage to create a unique atmosphere with every one of your songs, and so many of them have fun and varied up melodies. Great stuff as always, keep it up :D

BusanBlack responds:

Thank you. Yeah I work with what I got. Its an older program that has minimal instrumentation but I like to see what I can make from it. A challenge so to speak.

[Bespereboynik]

Very fancy and suave sounding, and makes me feel very chill. I really like how this sounds, and the progression is unusual in a cool way. The effect you have over all the instruments makes this feel even more relaxing in addition. Lastly, the melody is also unusual but I really like that too! Great work, keep it up :D

Silnava responds:

aww, thank you so much! :)))

[Dem0n1x - Running In The Neon Rain]

This sounds sick! I love how it sounds like old school Newgrounds techno, it's really exciting and feels like a hyper speed space flight. The instruments fit super well together and maintain the energy really nicely too. Melody variation is also really good, and keeps the song interesting. Great stuff as always, keep it up :D

Dem0n1x responds:

Thank you mate!

[The Black Swan of Huntingdon]

Definitely sounds dark, kind of like that phonk genre but with some more melody and less emphasis on bass. It has some sort of elegance to it too, like a swan would. Great stuff, keep it up as always :D

BusanBlack responds:

Thanks! Yeah I started with that phonk sound, but wasn't really attempting to make a phonk beat, so it went a weird direction, but I like the way it came out.

[Relinquished Runaway]

This is intense and just awesome! Feels like something that would play in a game where the protagonist just sees red or something and goes on a rampage against a horde of enemies, or in a intense road car gunfight scene. The synths were amazing, and the bass was perfect for this. Keep up the awesome work!!

SoTshu responds:

yooooo thank you so much! means a lot, really!

[Macro Fields]

I like how it jumps straight in, and the feeling is immediately adventurey :)
The melody is nice and attractive, it definitely has this very motivational energy to it, and a big openness that would make me think of a big field. There's also a lot of soul in this which creates a great atmosphere! Neat stuff, keep it up :D

ImATeaDrinker responds:

Thank you so much! Really happy that you enjoyed it :)

[night dream]

Здесь явно энергия и напряжение как в кошмаре, но в тоже самое время, атмосфера как будто приключенческая и даже слегка веселия! Иногда, кошмары развлекательные хаха. Класс как обычно, так держать!

G2961 responds:

Спасибо!

[Through the Gates]

Very chill, and kinda sounds cloudy if that makes sense. Kinda like you're up somewhere high in the sky. The melody is very beautiful and helped me feel relaxed first thing in the morning. I also really like the pic ture you put in the description, it looks serene :)

Great work as always, keep it up!

BusanBlack responds:

Yes exactly. Hence the name. Its like being up in the clouds going into the great blue beyond. You drift upwards and then just silence.

Thank you mate :D
