Ef-X's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shocked to Death]

sweetz

It prly lost its leash (it glitch'd somewhere.) Dark sounding track. The percussion and back instrument were nice and the other instrument used to create atmosphere fits. 5/5.

doppler73 responds:

thanks!

[The Virus of Doom]

diggin this one.

The abstract yet concrete beatz really bring out the song. Dissonance works and it fits the title. It has a nice drive to it as industrial songs need drives. Its a mostly percussive work which i love to listen to (percussionz.) 5/5.

doppler73 responds:

:) to :D!

[WTF is this shit!]

Yes!

Oh man this can make anyone happy. The rhythm was banging and the diverse instruments added to the sick feeling of the song. It had that bit of ambient, space music, type of feeling to it. Crazy stuff. 5/5.

Maverlyn responds:

huhuhu.. XD

[Calmness Awaits]

Da Bass

Nice bass on this tune. Creative to say the least. Hard to put a drum beat to such bass but you came out aight with the percussion in this one. And the wind like sounds were a nice touch. For me the highlight was the bass. 5/5.

Falonefal responds:

Hey, thanks a lot, well I'm a bassist in a band, so I guess I look after my own :P

[-NB- [Drunk Space Party]]

*,* (o.o) <.< >.>

You got the bass no doubt, that's always a nice aesthetic feeling. The filtered "wah" instruments fit the structure of the song, creative. You got a great structure going here, nothing to change really, it fits the theme. kudos. 5/5

NubbyCakums responds:

Thanks Man!

[Pixel Cat]

I wanna visit this convention

Oh yes I could see a virus spread on this earthbound-inspired town and slowly the citizens become gray and disintegrate with the environment. And you see the grey pixels sink with this beat. Wicked tune. The minimal use of the instrument help build the atmosphere of the tune and the drums, being the dominant part for me, just melts your ears of the greatness. 5/5.

AliceMako responds:

Interesting trivia : earthbound got me hooked on steak. ( yes i am impressionable enough to get culinary ideas from video games )

The drums fall squarely on the c64 soundchip, just like the previous entry so my guess is you'll find your source of epic ear sex in that direction <3

[Theeketel - Miso Soup]

Heavy

Those chips taste nasty! so nasty I want to eat more o' them! (I try...) the way the beat flows is great. the effects added on the instruments are always nice, I'm wondering is Aphex Twin an influence? nice melody on the second half of the tune, the minimalism and repetition helped build more interest in the piece as the piece progressed.

AliceMako responds:

Special fx courtsey of an eq unit in this case and yes richard david james is a major influence, though his work as polygon window and the tuss perhaps to a greater extent then his aphex twin project.

Well, this pair of tunes are compositions made afterwards, kind of like an attempt to recreate the overall feel my set had and all i played was minimal chip based industrial so as usual you are keenly perceptive.

Thanks :3

[41-Dusk, Dawn,and InterDigital]

Great stuff.

Ambient if only for a while. Introducing that melody before the hi-speed breakz in wasnt a bad idea. The drums must have had the flu cause they were sick (yeh not a good joke.) Nice melody for the second half btw. Arpeggios :D

WinglessStudios responds:

lol i liked the joke, and thanx originaly it wasnt the plan for all that to happen buuut i listened to a bit of Erik Norlander and had a break through hahaha

[anticarcinogen]

Bring forth the pain...

Oh yes timpani beatz sickest thing since growth spurs. Standard doom sounds but it kept a certain rhythm if you listen closely I likey and I like the build up. gratz n' kudo. 5/5.

AliceMako responds:

That is so true, they're cliché to a fault x3

After toying with the samples via randomly generated sequences, some failure left and right to get anything decent out of the keyboard and finally going for a manual recreation, they along with the strings where the only thing to stand out so i let that be as it sounded pretty dramatic.

Thank you graciously <3

[The gizmo near the exit]

lol yes!

I am hypnotized by this sound....I just....God Damn..... *Bows down.*
