Lostelei's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Abortion Clinic]

Supreme work!

When I read the title I sensed this has got to be good. And when I read Classical as genre my hopes got even higher. And you didn't disappoint. Great string composition. Wish I could compose something like this.

eVad-Chris responds:

Thanks, I really glad you enjoyed it! I don't even consider myself a composer honestly, I just take short melodies I make on the piano and add a bunch of harmony to them and parts of variation, hoping I can at least break the 1 minute mark in a song. But I am trying to improve and your kind words are only added motivation to get better, because It seems like I'm already pretty good!

Thanks for your review!

[Darkest Hour]

hmmm~

I guess it's not exactly bad, but it doesn't click too well with me. But you do a nice Techno beat in the first half of the song, especially at 0:38. Also I like the 8-Bit'y sounding melody sequences.
But most of the other instruments do not really sound too great. The strings most of all. Maybe you could save a little bit with them if you'd make them less loud and gave them a lot of echo/reverb, but in general I'd just go with another string instrument.

Anyway, continue making tracks, and maybe focus a little more on your pretty good Techno beat that you have at display and try to support its rhythm more. Then it may even become quite danceable Techno!

DJZen responds:

Thanks, I'll try that out ^_^, I think I'm gonna mess with 8-bit sounding clips for a bit, should be fun.

[I Could Have Loved You (V2)]

not bad, try on!

I think the intro is a wee bit long for a two-and-a-half minute and the transition to the actual beat is pretty hard, but apart from that I think it doesn't sound too shabby, especially for someone admitting they don't have too much a clue what they're doing. It's a start you surely can build upon.

But I'm just noticing that the kick starts sounding kind of off starting at 1:31 and staying that way until you change the beat around 2:07. Maybe it's just me.

alienfetus responds:

I'm glad that you like it somewhat. I'll be the first to admit that I've no idea what I'm doing. I still liked the way it turned out through.

[[SQ] In Heaven]

Awesome.

For what it tries to be, and that is basically soundtrack for a touching sequence in a videogame it is perfect. Really, it could appear exactly like that in a RPG. I can almost see sprites and text boxes when listening to this.
Great work. Makes me wish for a good RPG that would benefit from this track.

I especially like the faster part starting at 1:02.

Squale responds:

Thanks Lostelei.
You`re right. My thought was to compose it for an emotinal rpg scene.
I`am glad that you like it.
Thanks for review. =D
