Kimken's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Underwater journey Ls Remix]

I've got a..

great feeling about this one. Kinda brings back memories.. It almost sounds like "Bröderna lejonhjärta" by Astrid Lindgren (it's a movie). Very soothing, can't see improvement 'cause this kinda of music isn't the hardest to create, just to have the right sounds and play at a low tempo, low velocity :).

But this really isn't just any song, as if you have imbued a feeling to this song, that makes it special. Deserves to be on the toplist IMO.

9/10 - 5/5 (so close to 10 ;))

[Name That Solo XXIII]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barracuda?

[Forest Lullaby]

WOW!

This sounds like something off of a castlevania (?) but a happy-go-kitty like castlevania, with flowers and stuff. Very simple, but it gets me :).
Not going to make it longer..? Weird :|, I would make a good piece like this longer, it would be all worth while. This is inspiring, gave me ideas 1 second after it ended :D
Thanks man!

[spirit of the fight]

Great oldschool battle!

I'll agree with the first review. It sounds classic. Reminds me just of chrono trigger and maybe a bit of mega man? I love the music in both those games.

This was also very well done, sounds very professional and i could imagine playing to this music and even get that "fight" feeling, the same i got in Mega man :)

One thing i'm not so sure about though. Did you compose this or did you make a mix from some VG music?

[edge fencer's determination]

SNES'sy

Good use of everything. I can imagine this in a SNES game.
The only thing i can complain about is that it lacks a really "catchy" melody. Maybe it's just me.
But you did a good job and i have much faith that you will do good in the future.

Short review this time.

[heroes]

Good but lacks

You managed to use the instruments very well, good fills and i liked the sounds you used.
If this would have some more "original" melodies and chords i would rate it higher. You will probably find your own kind of "melody/chord pattern" the more you compose pieces. Good to try different variations and try to do something NEW everytime.

But i can hear that you have some real talent for knowing how to write and combine instruments. So i only wish you good luck in the future in your quest for progressing in music.

PS: this reminds me of Final Fantasy tactics and a bit of superman.

Keep up the good work! added you as favourite

[Electronic Basilisk]

Nostalgic

It reminds me of some game, the arpeggios in the background especially, i can't just come up with what game.
Good work on this one too! Keep them coming

[Halloween Dawning]

Good work, ill check out your other stuff later!

[Hunt for Dracula]

Hey man.

You are a master in coming up with melodies and composing 8-bit music.
I could imagine this in an old Castlevania game. I have played every Castlevania on EVERY console except the gameboy color, so i can just say that you made a good job with this one.
Checked out most of your stuff and i liked it so much that i put you in favourites.
You have especially mastered the "8-bit sound."
I have also made 1 try at making an 8-bit song. Check it out if you want. But it's not as good as your's in sound.

Keep them coming!
