PenguinSam's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cave Man]

UUGA!!!!

Me like! Music fun. Make caveman dance. And penguin dance.

This is really good! I like the groove that is created in this song, great as always!

Oh, and I couldn't give it a 10 because it just didn't hit that spot in me, but was VERY well done!

<PS>

ZooSafari responds:

Haha okie bro np ;)

Thanks for the nice review ^^

[Medieval theme]

OOOHhhh!!

I must ask, to you know anything about chords? While listening to this, all I heard was a bunch of random notes. Chords are the Building blocks of all music. Also, I couldn't hear a single real melody other than a little baseline.

I have a feeling that this is also your first composition, or one of your firsts. What you need to do is learn how chords work and chord progressions from your music teacher or online. That will make your music so much better.

There were some very neat ideas going in here! I liked the snare drum ideas that you were using, but they could use some work. Also, the section around 2:50had a nice little grove going to it as well as the section before 1:43.

Just please, learn about chords. Trust me, it makes a huge difference. I know from experience. ;)

If you need help feel free to PM me, I am more that willing to give advice!

They need a Soundtrack genre!

Classical is the closest that you can get genre-wise here. It sounds absolutel amazing! I cannot express my gradtitude in words for someone posting such amazing music here! I could easily see this in a video game!

There is just one thing that kept me from giving you 10 stars, it doesn't loop properly. The music kinda bjakldfjskls at the end that "connects" to the begining. PLEASE fix that and PM me when you do! Of course, that might just be the fact that music doesn't aalways properly loop on the Newgrounds audio player,

This music is simply stunning! I could also see this in a movie, which is why I think they need a Soundtrack genre here at newgrounds.

Keep up the amazing work!

DavidOrr responds:

I agree 100%! I've created a loop-friendly version. This is loopable, but the flash player on Newgrounds doesn't always get it right. Hopefully when update the track it'll be smoother!

Thanks for your review!

[Love, Midna]

Lovely

This, is just wonderful. I don't think that I have ever any video game song quite like this one. It has a lovely feel and atmosphere to it. I just can't argue with it all. I especially liked the Fairy Fountain part. I had not found someone who could remix it well, until now!

Kudos to you!

VGSongbird responds:

Thank You PenguinSam.
I hope I do as well with my future submissions ^_^

[Desert Winds - SownShadow Fox]

Fanstastic!

I can't find anything to complain about. This is radio-quality music right here! Great job and good luck, I'm in it too!

<PS>

[Silent Tears [Orch]]

Inspiring!

This is what music is about. This is not some arrangement of pleasing sounds; this is what lives inside of us. This music has soul, life, love, emotion. I can only imagine how you fell. You may not consider it a masterpiece, but I certainly do. It is music like this that is so hard to come across. The pain felt when someone leaves, either by choice or by death, creates what this is.

You have just touched me and so many others on a very deep and personal level. You have created more than words can explain. Thank you, and sorry that you had to go through that pain you felt.

<PS>

Dj-Flux responds:

Everything you've said is entirely true. Music has a life of it's own, and it can spread and teach others what's put into it.

It's nice to know people can feel it so far down in them.

[We're All Part Of This World]

Nice!

I love the ideas going on here! The melody is simply amazing and you still have that wonderful percussion going on in there!

However, there were some things that could really be done to improve this a lot.

One thing is harmonization. In classical music, introducing a melody is usually done with little or no harmonization. After hearing the piano melody the second time, I was dying to hear some harmonization, but there was none! Same goes with the flutes. Harmonizing will make a nice full sound that we love to hear.

Also, whatever kept playing the chords in the background had a really harsh front attack that I think really took away from the music at times, like the flute.

At the section that starts at 1:27, the percussion was really good, but! The snare drum should have had a constant rhythm throughout all of it, like 8 8 8r 8 8 triplet16 (3 of them) 8 8. It will help give it a sort of heroic feeling that will just create this feeling of awe!

And the flute, a duet or trio would have been a fantastic addition. More harmonization!

Other than that, it sounded absolutely amazing! This is a great first classical piece! Keep it up!

ZooSafari responds:

Wow! Thank you very much for reviewing and for the great tips from a true mastah!!! ;D

Not bad for my first try huh ;P

[Kurdmen]

Very nice!

I love how this just lets you groove along with it!

Not much to say, the music says it all by itself.
