Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Karco - Apology (Trance Remix)]

aha!

Well, it's very clean. I thought it painted a pretty sound. Loved that piano work. Very sassy. The song itself was very repetitive, but that's kind of a given paradigm with electronica. If there's any advice I could give you, it's to vary things up a bit more. Maybe a voice sample here or there, maybe a change in the melody/rhythm more often.

The song is perfect if you were going for a plain old classic dance track. Rock on. I noticed that the song was voted down at a 1, so I threw you a 5.

Karco responds:

Glad you like the quality, it's something I'm getting better and better at! :D The piano work... well, it was old composition, all of it, except for the high part - these days I don't like having a piano playing only in the middle/low ranges, so I had to add a high part to it. ;D

Well, at least you didn't mind the repetitiveness... :P As for varying things up - this isn't a good song for using vocals, as it would break the atmosphere I was trying to set up. And this is a remix of an old song that mostly was made up of bad, so-so composition. I just salvaged the best of it! XD Even as a trance song, though, I can see where you're coming from, especially since you're now the third to mention it. So that means I'm keeping a closer look on that diversity now! ;D

Glad you liked it, thanks a lot for reviewing, and for the 5! :D

[Through My Window (SD Ver.)]

Oh hell yes.

I think this is more industrial then techno but it still rocks out. At first I thought it was gonna build into a dnb with that drum sample towards the beginning, but then it went all ambient. GAH, I love this. The sounds are so awesome, the grinding pads, the morphing sounds, the strange rhythms. I love that natureness. It's very natural :P

All I have to say is that this track is a piece of art. Rock on.

ShinDenjin responds:

Why thank you kind sir. It was more an experiment than anything, which was why I kept it out of the public domain for so long.

WEEEEEEWEBRTHJRJST

haha, sounds great! Love that voice sample.

Thumping bass, fun synths and pads bouncing/ floating around. This is a really cool track. It's kind of repetitive and ends quickly, but aside from that, there really isn't anything wrong with it. Holly cow, it looped perfectly! I didn't even realize it looped until the voice sample came back around. Bravo :)

[Rucklo ft.Kerstin - OpenFields]

rawr!

This song is really cool. I can't knock you for the mono quality. At art school, I have to cut so many good ideas from my projects due to time constraints, so I know where you're coming from.

That voice is perfect. She would have to be a professional? Hmmm, I wish I could sing like that. The morphing bass was really cool. The drums sound perfect. Gah, this is cool. I'd love to hear a re-mix of this, but you stated that's unlikely...meh.

Rucklo responds:

Yeah, Kerstin is more or less professional, I think she's studying to become a teacher, for singing and piano or something like that...

If I ever find the time to, it's not impossible that I re-use the vox and maybe some of the track... who knows...
Thanx alot for the review mate! :)

[Lejin - Gae ChurchBoi]

Hurtful, but kind of funny.

Wow, I feel really bad for this kid, but this song is really funny. My feelings are mixed, so I'll just review the song for what it is aside from the lyrics.

Shit drums, cute synths, aw fuck it, those lyrics are hilarious. This is horribly funny. It's so wrong. What did he do to deserve this?

Lejin responds:

He made a song making male sex backgrounds...lol exposed hahaha

[[TMM43]Digital Girl [?]]

allright

hmm, uploaded two days ago and allready you got 24 reviews, 44 votes and 45 downloads? I just looked at your other recent tracks, yet none of them have seemingly done as well... kind of odd, but Im not gonna think about it much more.

It's a good song for the most part. I entirely agree with the guy below me though. It's really generic. Who's to say thats a bad thing though? It's well produced, it doesn't get boring, and given that I don't listen to the genre too often, it was new enough for me. I'm happy with having listened to this track, but I ask you to take the previous review to heart as well. This track is what it is, generic dance floor material. Good job :P

[Get Fresh Episode 1]

lol.

Funny script. It wasn't really music, but it was fun to listen too. Did you do the background music too, or was that royalty free sound from some one else?

Syntrus responds:

I made the background music its posted on NG its called Japenese Menu Music.

[Rig - 3:34]

Not as good as the original, but pretty decent.

I really liked the part around 1:46, but I'm impartial towards the silence at around 2:30...I think you could have balenced it out though at around 2:40 if you really tried harder, but that's just my opinion. I think Mr. Cage would be proud.

[Rig - Second To None]

lol

So you just decided to shit out a song? Fuck you. This is awesome! I hate your talent! lol.

Rocking bass, solid drums, awesome sounds. There's nothing wrong with this track, it rocks all around. I hope your kidding about having done this all in one day, it's just too much, too good, too spectacular.

Really, if you did do this all in one day, then stop. Stop making music. You've achieved your paragon, your apex, your zenith. You can only go down from here. Believe me, it's a long steep hill downwards and the only thing waiting for you is pavement. Evil dirty pavement that infects you when you scrape your knees. Not that good soft pavement that spoiled your child hood. This shit is rough, jagged like the teeth of a lion man. You have no fucking idea.

Seriously though, your incredible.

Rig responds:

Awww...thanks for your fawning. Yes, I did write this song today. Actually, it took about 4 hours :P
You're right. I'll never do better than this. I'LL QUIT :'(

[{GBD} Cascade (pt1)]

Nice.

Hmm, interesting sound. The intro was really strange and creepy. I felt like it constantly rising, which was a new sensation for me. I love getting new vibes from new sounds. Love it.

The drums were kind of bizarre to me. I didn't really find them to be too dnb. I think they were more industrial that anything else, maybe hardcore, but I wouldn't say dnb. Regardless, it was really cool. This is a really dark track. There was one thing that threw me off, and it happened twice in the track. It happens 3 seconds into the song and at around 12. The volume gets a little strange. That's it though.

Good stuff man. Really experimental and fresh. Rock on.

DoobyTimePiece responds:

thank you q masta. its nice to get some fresh advice as well.
