G9's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Grace]

"A really nice peaceful track."

Interesting, pitbulljones. A very slow-going semi-rock piece with a strong percussion line. Not much to say, except that the chimes that go off add a lot to the piece. This song brings on the image of a bus trip through a rural area... during the summer. Cornfields, wheat, grass... all are drenched in a yellow hue. A really nice peaceful track. Good work.

[Bomberman Enigma]

"...plus one for the pro air."

NV, this track doesn't catch my taste too much... but there is no doubt it belongs in a Nintendo game soundtrack. The upbeat melody, and the side instruments all fuse into an clearly audible mass that wants to be heard, and most definitely wants to roll over the listener and consume him or her in its professional air. Not sure if this is an original composition or not, but this kicks major ass. While the average score of my review is an 8, you get plus one for the pro air. Excellent job.

Thanks G9, I appreciate the constructive review. :)

[Beyond What You See]

"...generical isn't always bad."

NV... this track was no doubt a generical and typical Newgrounds Audio Portal electronica track... not just up to par, but definitely over average. A little more depth would be appreciated, and the semi-acid synthesizer gets annoying at times... but the occassional vocals, the deep, lively bass line and the fast drum beat make up for it. Overall, very good... and a note to all, generical isn't always bad.

I dislike this track now... it was my earliest "good" track a while back. Now I regret uploading it, lol

Thanks for the feedback anyhow, you're being honest which rocks

[Without Limits (Fixed)]

"...expectations surely 'Without Limits'."

Nightvision, I must say this is a perfect combination of piano and classical with electronic/synthesized elements. From the peaceful, yet adventurous beginning, to the electronic transition into the faster part of the track, I enjoyed every second of this song. I'm sure listeners did as well. The depth of this song is perhaps what causes this track to have expectations surely "Without Limits". Good job.

Thanks alot G9, I appreciate the heartfealt review. I'll continue to support your great efforts for as long as I can. (Through your other reviews, I can see what style you like best. By the way, I'm trying a bunch of genres to see how flexible my ideas are. So far so good.)

For everybody who is reading this, i'll let you know that G9 has done an outstanding job with his recurring audio podcast. It's definetely a must-listen for all NG'ers.

[There is Faith in Hope]

"...a well-received breather..."

"There is Faith in Hope" is one of the few quiet, yet great pieces here on the Audio Portal. It's something we should all be thankful for... from the clear electronic synths to the concluding ambience of running water, this track was enjoyable in all aspects. Happens that I was mixing this song right when you requested a review via a review of my first track... and it was right after an extremely loud (but good) lyricless rock piece. I can only say that it was a well-received breather both to me, and future listeners.

-This song is to be featured on the 11th g9core.com audio podcast-

pitbulljones responds:

hey g9, thanks for the review. the clarity is there due to practically everything being midi, the only thing that isn't are the two guitars playing hard left and right though one of em is more subtle. at least you got to chill out for a bit innit.

[WC > Robotic Cranium]

Flawed, yet original.

Very original and unique, I must compliment you on that. The background noises also proved interesting, though it blared a bit and lacked a strong line of melody... what would've been cool is if you swapped your current melody for the bassline, and added a heavy guitar track, adding a violent guitar line to the song. Perhaps my proposition would suck in result, but it's just an idea. It's great overall though... congratulations.

StrangeEncounters responds:

Thanks, This is NOT one of my real productions. This is something I cooked up in Reason in 2 hours to get myself verified. Check out my other songs, they're better. Lol.

[Helix - Operation Red Rock]

Dark and imposing.

I must say, your usage of industrial and grunge vocals has spanned most of your songs, and this particular piece is no exception. I'm loving the rhythm here, the fast-paced beat, the industrial and electronica touches, and of course, the definitive grunge vocals. Keep up the good work and keep them coming!

I also sent you an email in reply to your... um... review reply... yeah... just to give you a heads-up.

Helix6 responds:

OK. Your e-mail is in my inbox. I really suck at doing things online. :( Real life is a lot to manage as it is.

[Helix - Vigilance]

A great industrial piece!

I loved the techno synth integrations into this rocky piece. The rhythm was also fantastic, and though it was a fast song, it featured some great ambient surround sounds that enhanced the depth to this piece.

This is off-topic, but I would like to request the full version of No.6 (I believe you have my email, if not I can provide it), as well as permission to use any of your pieces in Flash works, and perhaps even a podcast that I am currently developing.

Congratulations, and thanks!

Helix6 responds:

Thanks. E-mail me at [e-mail], I will get the track to you, at my convenience. :)
