Astro-reality's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Cold Jorney]

A lot went down into this song as I hear it. It sounds like a peaceful landscape where someone is.
Good build-up and the outro is very nice, with the slowing down of the rhythm of the song which fits the emotional progress.

You are scouted.

Joeyag responds:

Thanks a lot!! :D

[LuukMans - Start]

Ah, I was not sure at the beginning but at around 0:35 when the square wave pushes in it becomes a very nice piece to listen to, I can clearly hear a similar style as the stuff which ParagonX9 used to make. The synth works well together with the bass wobble and the outro works very well as well. Especially for your age quite good stuff.

LukeMans responds:

Oh well, thanks for the feedback. I highly suggest you check out my other songs though since this is really not my best work.

[Dunai - HoriSION]

Very nice progression in the song in the beginning, especially after the first minute when it goes to the lighter parts of the track. I can hear this is a nice instrumental track, I think that some vocals over this would work well though, while I was listening to this song I had the idea that a lot worked well together but that vocals would add the last touch to the song. Apart from that, a nice orchestral piece in which I clearly can hear stuff like Delain.

Aterr responds:

Thank you for a review! It is very important for me. Yeah, the piece was actually made with an eye on vocals. But but the vocalist of me is kinda bad. :D
Maybe someday I will put some vocals on it, who knows. :)

[A Piece of Your Own Mind (Demo)]

A very clear sound, you can clearly hear the depression of the music of Joy Division into this short piece. This works very well into the mind, it would be a very interesting piece to use for some kind of animation I would think.

The word 'isolation' comes to my mind when I hear this, these soft short synths around 0:24 work very nice as an atmospheric touch over this short song, my only criticism is that it's a bit short as everything is very well balanced, it would be interesting if it was a bit longer to see where it would go further and if it would bring the listener further into isolation.

pitbulljones responds:

you're the only person who has reference joy division isolation.

It's in demo, first phase.

[Adrift]

This is a very nice short atmospheric piece with a good balance between everything and nice use of synths which sound distinct.

Hikari responds:

Thank you! I really appreciate the comment. :)

[FD - Town Theme]

Nice work bro

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thanks man

[Solace]

This has a nice feeling to it, I really like the percussion in your tracks. I like the build-up in this track with the soothing guitar in the beginning going to a very strange atmosphere from around 00:45, would fit great as background music!

pitbulljones responds:

Thank you very much. Always my aim to create atmosphere.

[FD - Whispering Horizon]

Very nice chilling track, really like that synth coming in at 00:26.
A rough version of your later work, but definitely a good track!

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thanks, I agree with you. It's still a very symbolic work to me, as it represents the start of a new journey~

[Blooming Nightshade (Remastered) in C]

Sounds like a good battle theme, but around 1:26 the lead seems to go into a strange direction. It isn't bad but it gives a strange sound in my ears as a transition, I would personally try to establish a better transition there. I have to say that the direction around 2:08 is pretty sick however and I like the oriental bits which you put in there. Good leads and synths and the mastering sounds quite well done, I love these light-hearted melodies near the end of this.

Good job

Noisysundae responds:

"Perhaps it's because the following breakbeat instead of the usual 4-on-the-floor? It was an experimental concept I put into this menu in 2015. There's also the sub bass that plays right after the buildup and weird someone out. Anyway, I'll keep that in mind for the menus in the future, thanks. The oriental bit was just the very same pluck played in a different scale, though." — The Manager
