Saigon's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Toccata Per Rollins]

Arpeggios

I like fast (started fast.) I like arpeggio like sounds (it had them.) Good emotion (and the Philip Glass feeling to it.) This piece sounds more modernistic rather than classic (it still holds the essence of classical music somehow thought...i can't explain.) Overall pretty awesome. 5/5.

[Last Moments Final]

Trading Bats for Guns

you had quite a lot of good instruments incorporated (they also have a more professional sound qualities) i like the snares and the bells to set the background mood for this song. Its a more modern sounding piece than classic but its still pretty awesome Like how you transition from instruments to the piano near 2:20 and then came back to include instruments. Wow very Wagnerian feeling near the end (that's what I basically call all trumpet like endings.)

[Sweet-Paradise]

white keys

To me it sounds like a happy techno song (that happy hardcore trance stuff.) Maybe add some near high note catchy melodies. For melodic helpness i suggest sticking with the white keys since those are the ones that sound more happy in a sense. Maybe play around with CEFG and then another C another octave higher. (just play around with a CEFGC note pattern.) Its turning out to sound pretty good.

[Clock Day Loop]

GOOD DRUMS not all caps...

very tribal like and experimental (hey i do not think i heard of experimental pieces from you, then again.) Like the idea of it.

[The Darkness Suite]

Almost happy ending :)

Yes (the darkness feeling it has.) Good melody (so far.) Yes happy around 0:50 for a second (maybe to transition to the high notes.) Around 1:04 it got very mystical only to drop to more darkness (pretty cool.) Picked up pace around 1:40 (yay for the arpeggios once again.) I like the soft melody. Like the change from the arpeggio to another different thing near the middle and how it led to some type of chase sound (only to change to happy once again around 3:07.) I like the happy sound near the 3:00s (good chord use.) I like the almost happy ending and for some reason it does sound like it could loop well (imo.) Complete the word emo_ _ _ _ _ _.

MJTTOMB responds:

emo....

tional!

haha, thanks for the review man, great review.

sick middle

Classical music mixed with jazz is the feeling i got from this. The drums in my opinion where low but it sounds good (in the middle the piano line got very happy, your structure is sick man, in a positive way of course.) definitely a 5/5.

MJTTOMB responds:

My structure's got the swine flu. it's all ofer that stuff man. :P

Haha, thanks

[Rain in the Night]

Kind of Happy Ending :D

More volume than the others and pretty awesome in its own way (more full of energy than the other darkness ones.) I like the rhythm it has. Awesome from heavy to low (not a bad idea.) Pretty sweet little track (yay for happy ending.)

MJTTOMB responds:

I really like this one. I totally stole the chord progression from pachelbel.

Thanks!

Notas de Bajo

it has a kind of romantic feeling. Main melody (with background) provided a simple but pleasing sound (nice arpeggios as always :D) i like the bass notes starting around 0:55. And the feeling the song evokes after that part. 5/5

[Take These Wings]

...Nice... :D

Do not think i ever heard original but this sounds pleasing. You seemed to enjoy piano around your early stages (compare to your more recent music.) I like how it dropped to a kind of sad feeling (suddenly) around 1:43 (pretty good thing to be done.) 5/5

[Darkness Recedes (Demo)]

sad in a kind of happy way

Sad (even if in a very more happy tone...) like the rhythm it has near the begging and how you switch around the 0:30s (to arpeggios :D) quick awesome song in my opinion.

MJTTOMB responds:

Now that you've listened to the whole suite, you'll notice that this piece is essentially a mix of all the other pieces in the suite. :)
