Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DV - Chemosound]

I'm loving these grimy tracks man. I haven't listened to stuff this dark in a while. Loved those rhythmic glitch effects! Fucking sexy track... in a gothy bondage kind of way.

la-yinn responds:

tie me up baby <3

[DV - Sub Marines]

haha, experimental? Sounds like some classic liquid/nuero. You familiar with Hive and gridlok at all? Violence recordings? Old dnb duders. This has a similar grimy sound to a lot of what they like to put out. Huuuuum :)

Personal preference, I'd have used a stupidly huge drum kit and I would have glitched the beat a good bit more. Honestly, this track takes me back to some of my old favorite nuero artists. Look into violence recordings for funzies :)

la-yinn responds:

Yeah I've heard some stuff, but not nearly enough! (I got dom & roland's through the looking glass album, they have a hand in that)

Tbh I wanted to do this another way but a lot of complications came up and I decided it wasn't half bad as it was so just uploaded it haha. Hoping to get some proper neurostuff going on but it's hard enough as it is, plus my computer is on it's last breath. :c

Thx for commenting mate ;)

[To Smoke is To Ascend]

Sexy as per usual. Always loved your melodic stylings.

Metaljonus responds:

Thank you mama! ;)

[Metal Gear]

That intro was really sex tastic. I'd have given those pianos a little more emphasis but that's because I'm kind of an asshole.

I was loving that synth work at 00:50 but when the chorus hit they kind of got a little too repetitive and fizzled. I get into copy paste flunks too so I'm not gonna be anal about it. Besides, I've already told you that I'm an asshole. I really need to learn not to shit on things all the time.

Only other negative thing to say was that I felt like those drums could have been wayyy larger. I typically only save clap snares for build ups and break downs. Not that there is a correct and incorrect way to go about being creative. It's just... I would have been an ass hat and gone with a snare that punches instead of slaps :p

All in all this track was hella sexy. That outro was smooth :D

CowardlyLion responds:

I'm glad you liked the intro. I'm definitely a fan of it! Yeah I usually give piano a lot of emphasis but for some reason I didn't emphasize it much in this one. Haha, no worries man.

I have to admit, I'm a fan of repetitious, subtly building stuff. I know that's a bit odd, and a lot of people aren't really a fan of it haha. Sorry about that. Yet again, no worries!

Yeah I've been working on my drums and actually have been working on a song with what I think are some better drums.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it overall, haha.

[LO - The Eight Lion]

lol, trance dubstep.

Slick sounds, cool idea, perfect melodies. The only thing that's bothering me is the drum kit. I felt like the snare could have been so much bigger... wider. Dunno. I have a thing for chode snares.

Oakwood responds:

Agreed, the snare is not your average 'punch-you-in-the-guts' snare, but if it were it would kinda defeat the 'softer' side of the song IMO.
Thanks for the review brah!

[Seeking Fog]

Musique concrète. Love it man. Gotta admit, stuff like this jizzes me. Maybe I'll add some synth work on top in a sloppy mp3 layered on an mp3 kind of way. If thats cool with you?

SineRider responds:

Thanks quarl! Yeah that's cool with me, I could send you a WAV if you like too

[FF7 Difficult to Stand ;)]

I don't know what's stranger. Seeing that you're still kicking and making music or listening to a FF7 remix in 2013. Glad you're still 0Con. Unless you're someone else in disguise. Incognito. Hiding inside of secretive secrets. Secretive secrets. Secretive 0con secrets. Secretive.

0con responds:

It's me 0con buddy. Just been a looooonnng time.

Thanks for reviewing.
