Ef-X's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[journey through sky - Slunchy]

clave are :D

the ending was random and completely different. I liked it thought as part of an enhancement of the original piece. Its like if the ship is falling down after realizing there was nothing there. Kudoz
5/5

kjhsdgf responds:

lol, i couldn't really follow up the first part, as i wrote it under weird, and very unreproducable circumstances.
but i really like the first half, if that matters.
and yeah, that clave, it's so.. off-beat-y

[FF | Eagle Claw]

Samplin'

I can't get which Miles is this one but I'm going more for In a Silent Way (it gives that vibe.) Man I love the feelings you get from this song. That creepy like thing and then the slow zen-like feeling with a little bit of sprinkles here and there. I'm liking this as much as your Pharaoh Brew. 5/5. (and, just as a site note, that sound by 3:10ish was awesome.)

freddyfinger responds:

close, it's 'bitches brew'. i haven't heard 'in a silent way' but i heard it's similar to 'bitches brew'. ima give it a listen right now. thanks a lot for reviewing!!

[1 Glass of Rainbow Kool Aid]

raw

I imagine the Kool Aid mascot bouncing down the street like a juggernaut destroying everything. The melody was pleasing and egyptian-like sounding in some parts. Reminded me somehow of groups like Gorillaz, it had a freeform feel to it also. Only complain is that it could have been shorter but still it was pretty creative. (the ending was somehow funny for me.)

MixyRecords responds:

Yeah you're right. I Hadn't realized how long it really was until afterwords. haha i like your visual for the song. Thanks for listening and reviewing. I appreciate it!!

[FF | Pharaoh's Brew]

Congrats

Taking from Miles and making it good is like stealing candy from a steroid-using athlete...It ain't easy!
however this shit is as good as it gets and I think you did do honor to the song(s). The drums kicked in at the right time (hell everything sounded like it came in at the right time,) the hypnotic feeling and the little instances of lounge-like ambient music just skyrocketed this shit into top-notch quality music. Kudos.

freddyfinger responds:

good ear recognizing the sample! bitches brew is some raw shit (i also sampled it on my song 'eagle claw' if you wanna hear it). thanks a lot for the review, glad ya enjoyed it man

[Whatever is Clever]

Good Vibe

The intro and the ending worked like a loop. shitty breaks are a plus. I like the chords and the melody (and the arpeggio that played once in a while.) Reminded me of those songs written by artists the like of Aphex Twin. Good luck on finishing the song.

[Shankar]

Mhh....

I think this one is better than mines mainly due to the fact that it has more going on. A more complex beat, more instruments and a melody as well as a shift (was that a didgeridoo?)

Cuzone responds:

It was a didgeridoo. But well, I'm glad we both like each other's song better than our own. Mutual admiration ftw.

[Robot Butterfly]

good title

I got hooked from the beginning drum beat, sick stuff i must say. You did achieve an industrial sound so congrats on that. Very atmospheric (when the strings kick in) the rest of the song gets sweet!

Cuzone responds:

Thank you sir! Great to hear a review like that coming from someone as talented as you. :D

I would, again, be very proud and happy if you stuck around and heard some more of our stuff. :D

[Chasing Horizons]

Nice title

nice concept song. Digging the clave like rhythm and of course the drums, but the main melody is what I liked most about the song, seems like it fits the concept you are trying to get throught. Awesome one
5

kjhsdgf responds:

thanks, man, i really appreciate it!
thanks for the comment!

[Breaking and Anal Splintering]

Progress

1st things clear:
catchy
sick drums
nice pattern

It sounds very original and very laid back, the abstract melody just fits the song so nicely...damn....kudos dude. Nice looping btw...I c you like to use the triangle like sound a lot :D

kjhsdgf responds:

lol yeah, i found the triangle, and i decided to utilize it, might mix it up a bit, tho :]
but thanks for all of the nice words,
and thanks for the comment!

[Lost In the Aquarium. Slunchy.]

W O O T

The bass sounds balanced and it seems like you added new stuff or changed some instruments around, still enjoying it as i did last time :)

kjhsdgf responds:

thanks!
and i've changed it again, too,
but i'll hold off on the updates until i get the chorus done
