Ef-X's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[schlam - slunchy]

motor skillz

you started the motor going better in this one (the pitch bend on the beginning of the bass) and the different speeds i found so sweet! Imo I like this version better than the other.

kjhsdgf responds:

:o well consider the other one deleted

[from the nest ~|slunchy>]

Still delivering I see.

You should get a job as a mailman cause you know how to deliver and deliver well. Damn it I never get over how aesthetically pleasing your compositions are. I totally see your vision and the intro was a sure way to start everything up (beasting way to start the visualisation of the piece.) It sounds so futuristic this has to be one of the best pieces you have composed, 5/5 it includes all your concepts of music (the unique sounding beat the bass and the uncanny way you create melodies.)

kjhsdgf responds:

shucks, ef-x, i'm blushing,
really.
i get a lot of inspiration from videogames, apparently.

[waters (8-bit/other) -slunchy]

Velocidad.

Hadn't checked this one out but hell I digg it. I'm torned between deciding whether it reminds me of sonic or pokemon but that's just my childhood preferences. It sounds just as good faster and the shift to the modern version, though a little rough, is desirable. It gives you a feeling of hope you know...oh well I'd pick the first part for a game :D 5/5

kjhsdgf responds:

i'd say pokemon,
thanks, man
and thanks for the comment!

[fall (8-bit) slunchy]

This one

I like this version better. The main melody comes out more and with the lack of a reverb it gives it the feeling of actually working for an old game like pokemon. Having said that I love the the rhythm between the melody and the drum. It gives the loop a smooth progression. It should be played @ the credits of a game. Cinco de Cinco.

kjhsdgf responds:

hah, thanks a lot,
decided to try out 3/4 time and a longer chord structure.
i think it came out thematic of olskool stuff.
thanks for the review, mang!

[unsure - slunchy]

Don't know what's to be unsure about

This as you already know beasts. The shift in melody and the occasional pitch bend just beast as always, so overall is a pretty decent loop brought about by your style and musical capacity, Kwedohs. 4/5.

kjhsdgf responds:

hey, thanks, man
it means a lot

[coolbreeze city - slunchy]

Tasty music

Aight this is more like it, quircky snare, the dissonant and the consonat sound of the melody are a match made in heaven, and the melody is just so damn tasty (like sonic 1 melody tasty.) Somewhere between vanilla swrill and filet mignon (however you write that word) tasty. I can hear why you never get tired of looping it, the song just works. 5/5.

kjhsdgf responds:

lol wow, thanks!

[un-pants yourself - slunchy]

I tried to

Dants my pances off. Overall is a pretty decent melody and it is enjoyeable, as for the structure, that hasn't been my sharpest knife lately but i see the other review got it cover, thought it did not make the 10 cut it was still good.

kjhsdgf responds:

i understand, i just liked the instruments :P
thanks for the comment!

[8wonders - slunchy.]

Wonderful alright.

the intro was sick with the drumming and the bass as well as for building the structure for the whole song. I love how the song is able to shift between all of its phases and the melody ain't half bad either, as always i enjoyed it. And no do not take that melody out in the end it fits with the intro. As with mastering I can't help much, that is never my strong spot.

kjhsdgf responds:

gee wilickers, mister, thanks!

Uber-Hopeful Sounding

The first thing i love is how it slows down when the melody pops out in the second half of the loop. Also how the melody complements the chord pattern is so amazing (or vice versa,) hell the melody in itself had a sweet effect going. the first half reminds me of one of those adventure games theme and the ending changed but still sounded as it fitted. So overall it was a pretty solid song. 5 Diggs outta 5.

kjhsdgf responds:

well garsh.
i've been writng a lot of stuff out lately, and 8-bit songs are just easier to do right now.
the compy crashes every 8 minutes :s
still, thanks for the comment!

[astronaut soup - slunchy]

I'm flattered. Blissful second part to the song :D

(I'm reviewing its potential as a full song since this is a demo:)
Can't wait to hear how this sounds with a vocal track. The bass sound reminded me of the wetness feeling the bass from Air's Napalm Love brought upon my ears, so kudos for the bass. Dubstep's an awesome challenge for you since your into all that awesome rhythm. Just as every one of your demo songs this has potential...
*A couple of listens later*
After carefully listening to it I was more impressed at the bass line and how it compliments the chord pattern in the second half of the song. Keeping that bass flavor is a must for the final version. Five_Five

kjhsdgf responds:

:D
thanks, broham.
i think this will be the song, man.
