prog17's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[March]Shy Guy's Toybox]

catchy

Its funny, even after all the games I HAVE played, Paper Mario remains off the list. That said, this is one catchy and entertaining song. I'm guessing this would fit in some carnival level or something.

It loops well to boot. I really liked the one burst of the guitar at :36

kudos

darkmico responds:

It's actually a the same piano that plays right before the burst, but distorted! Aren't I sneaky?

[Final Countdown (DnB Remix)]

I saw the title and did not expect much

But DANG! That was REALLY a surprisingly good song, the loop worked really well and I'd be amazed if I don't see this used in some games here real soon. You captured the original glory of that so-bad-its-amazing song and made something really fun out of it. Kudos.

thanks! :3

[{dj-N} Hot N' Cold [RmX]]

Have to agree with Trance

I'm not particularly fond of the song, but you can certainly make me warm up to it. This is like something I'd see as a professional remix as a bonus CD track or something, this is extremely impressive work on an already incredible career.

dj-Nate responds:

Thanks man!

[Darkmoor]

so simple yet it worked great

I can't wholesomely give this a ten because it feels so simple. But then again that's why it worked so PERFECTLY for Neverending Light. The simple combination of piano and strings is timeless but seems so fresh in this iteration. Also congrats on having your song used in the "#1" flash portal piece on Newgrounds (at time of this review).

Chrispington responds:

Yeah it's all about context, which I think is why the audio portal is a bit screwed, since most users only judge the music subjectively.
Considering the audio portal is meant for flash soundtracks, this is totally counterproductive.

Thanks for the review

[Sting - Reflections]

relaxing but pretty basic

makes for good background, but not anything particularly special here. I have no idea why its so high up the charts. Still not bad, could've used some more depth or layers of sound. Overall a decent loop, that probably should not be so highly ranked.

Blasphem-E responds:

Lol, it got up top by complete dumb luck. I'm well aware that it is not super amazing and shouldn't be here. But as I've said many times, I'll take it. Thanks for the review though

[The Bad Touch [D.M.]]

Wow nice

I've heard the original before and thought it was a funny song, but not much for song quality. This was actually really great! Loved how you did the lyrics too.

Awesome!

Darren-M responds:

wow thank you, i worked hard on mixing it. it was tons of fun to sing too!

[Scary loop for games]

nice ambiance

a bit basic but does a very good job of setting a dark or dangerous area. For all intents and purposes I like it.

CallMeToXiC responds:

thanks

[Thoroughbred]

lol sweet

its funny because I can recognize nearly all of the pieces from garageband but I never would have envisioned them so well mixed together into one crazy song. kudos mate

KuromoriBarba responds:

I was really surprised myself by the catchiness

[Snow Miser]

Needs something

Its funny because if you just added in a bass or drum beat (preferably bass because it is a synth LOOP) during the melody middle, it could have been really good, no joke.

KuromoriBarba responds:

Yeah, but I was going really minimalist here.

[Eternal Warfare]

whoa, much better than the other one

the strings add so darn much to it. Like the other loop, this sounds like a big RPG battle or something, I like it

Psychopath responds:

Thanks. Although I prefure the other one more.
