Death-9's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{Heim/LC} Radical Intervention]

dude, this is awesome

I've already listened to it hundreds of times while you guys were swapping your files, and I must say this is a masterpiece. both of you guys rock. Kevin's percussion patterns are simply thrilling, and your orchestral talent is awe-inspiring. I really hope to see more collaboration between both of these talented artists!

JeffHeim responds:

haha yeah Kevin is a wizard when it comes to percussive techno/electronica. This collab was a lot of fun and I'm sure we'll collaborate again in the near future. Thanks for the kind review!

[Hopeku - Quantum]

nice stuff, Hopeku

I like the semi-relaxed feeling here. You really nailed this one. Like ph0ne said, could use a little EQ for added punch, etc. I'd absolutely love to see this one a bit more hard-hitting, especially if you wanna use it for a boss fight. But, for the style you're going for, this is amazing. I love it.

Keep fighting the good fight.

hopeku responds:

IT's true I completely fucked the EQing and I don't get how the fuck haha. Anyway now it's too late. I'll just keep making new music.

Thanks man!

[[LC] -Extinction Clinic]

very nice

hey bro, this is a good song. i love how you pan the kick at the start, it makes me jizz myself. Truly remarkable stuff you have here, dude. ur a pr0. get c4$h for being pr0 NAO

[[LC] -Conquering The Summit]

weird but cool

i like the tense feeling to this. it flows very nicely, and you hardly notice any major transitions. Very epic, background-y feel. sounds like a soundtrack or something. its really a very unique song, I'd like to hear more of this style.

Good job mang

ElectricalBypass responds:

Hey! Thanks~!

[ph0ne vs Hopeku - Aerodynamite]

this song is pr0

it totally kicks butt. loving the awesome slow buildups and relaxed overall feelof the song. it's not in a hurry to get anywhere, but it still goes there. absolutely incredible, you guys did it again. Very glad you two started doing collabs together.

hopeku responds:

haha at first I wasnt sure he was good enough (When you asked) but it turned out that I liked his stuff like hell and he inspire me like no one!

Thanks man!

[Hopeku - Crazy Illness]

Amazing

Like always, Hopeku, you're a god. I love the way you blend supersaws with fullon bass, it makes my favorite pseudo-genre of all time!

Mastering on this one is great, I can hear everything clearly and let me tell you, there's a lot to be heard in this track. This is a great song, in every aspect, and I can only say you've done it again, Hopeku.

Also, hey, as a favor to my buddy ph0ne, why don't you see if you can get one of your collaborations released to a label? I'd like to see him get out there as an artist, and I'm sure he'd be really pumped if he actually got a song in the market.

hopeku responds:

Well I finally decided that our last track wasn't good enough. But we're gonna try again next week and see what happens. I'd love to get signed with him!

Thanks for your wonderful comment on my track, this is really appreciated!

[We Are Lost (full Vocals)]

What is this

Please, stop making music. Learn to use compressors, or at least how to EQ properly. The vocals are jarring and sudden, and very painful when they enter. Another complaint that I have with this is that it is terribly repetitive. I could count the total number of patterns in this song on my own two hands, and for an 8-minute song that's embarrassing.

Your effects and even your synths are over-used and contrived. It's completely unoriginal, and extraordinarily boring. The song's progression is simply tiring- it repeats entire sections with NO modification. You ought to at least spice it up a little bit, it's just terrible as it is.

I'm going to be honest, your song made me almost fall asleep, and not in a good way. The only reason i didn't go completely unconscious was because it was so poorly EQ/Mastered and so terribad.

statueofdiveo responds:

It's a club song. I've seen way more repetitive songs.

Can you do better?
Oh, and the entire songs is compressed
Are you wearing headphones?

[Ph0ne - Jew Golds (Hopeku rmx)]

Hopeku

you are a g0d amongst men, Hopeku. You bring light back into the world with your block rockin' beats. This is quite possibly one of the coolest psy/goa I have ever heard on NG. It's hard, driving, and awesome. This will certainly give the jews a run for their money :D

hopeku responds:

haha thanks Mr Death-9, you're as cheering as always!

Thanks for your comment, but we must admit there isn't much goa/psytrance music on newgrounds. The best i've heard yet are Ph0ne in psytrance and Zenon in Goa ;)
