LucidShadowDreamer's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Getting Started]

Really cool and chill track!
Loop is seamless af o.O
Good luck, man!

Noisysundae responds:

Well, I'm happy either way. Not making it also means I can take a breather from my currently tight schedule. :P

[After the Rain]

Ehh, I decided to take time to review this right now while I'm on a roll :D

As often, it's quite obvious that johnfn was working on this :')
That said, it's nice to have a clear cut style at times! I noticed you told Jordi to be more varied in his work, so if you make it to the next round, I challenge you to do something that's not electronic ;)

That said, I'm very happy you took this route for this round! Even with the glitch and the lead, there's enough that'd different about the style to make it super fresh! I'm sure this is because of your contributions, ethansight ;D

I love the voice, and all the rhythmic aspects. Really neat use of the chord hits o.O

The only thing I'd change, is I recommend making a more interesting ending. It by no means sounds bad! It's just a bit lackluster, since it sounds like a section that's just ending and about to lead to a new part. Maybe that's what you were going for for some reason though?

Either way. Cool track, and good luck!

johnfn responds:

yea still working on that ending. it was done in about 5 minutes at 11:50 PM. we still have time right? ;-)

also i would argue this is fairly outside of my chip tune comfort zone. yea sure its still electronic, but the chords and melodic style is pretty different than my standard fare

i would love to do non-electronic but i cant sing (yet) and i dont really want to do cinematic (sorry lol). tho ethansight can sing so HMMMM. we might do something more interesting next round =p

P.S. i tried different leads but they sound worse

P.P.S ethan and i have the exact same style oops

[F-777 - Super Duper]

Really catchy stuff! Great job :D

[Subterranean Dungeon Theme]

This was a neat listen! I like the atmosphere a lot :O!

BlazingDragon responds:

I wasn't expected a review so soon after posting! Thank you kindly. :D

[Seres]

I love it!
You truly face a tough challenge in our first round, so I commend you for writing such a good track!
Naturally, your opposition has also come up with a brilliant piece, hehe...
So it'll be interesting to see what the judges think!

Just wanted to let you know I reaaaally love some of the chords, melodies and transitions here :D
That's what I'm all aboutttt :DDD
Good luck o.O

Onefin responds:

Hey thanks for the encouragment lsd

[Reveries]

Fantastic work, as always! I've got to say the melodies of the song here are really captivating o.O
It'll be interesting to see what kinds of scores you'll get this time!
Good luck in the competition :)

bassfiddlejones responds:

Thanks LSD! I'm excited to see how it turns out

[T-Logic - Flight of Dreams]

Nice little piece!
There were some dissonant notes I weren't super fond of in the beginning, around 8 seconds in (I sometimes like dissonance, it really just depends on the style, instruments, or even something as intricate as the timbre of a sound).
I like the rhythm a lot. the percussion coulld maybe sound a bit broader, but then again, this sound has a cute little charm to it too! So I kinda get it :D

Some of the main melodies are pretty neat!
The progression is all over the place, especially with that middle section, and I love it xDD

Autogun can be fun to play around with. I've seen/heard more and more people use it in their tracks :O

The ending is a bit lackluster, but it could be argued that fits a piece of this caliber. Nice to hear some stuff from you!
Keep it up ;)

TaintedLogic responds:

Thanks a bunch, LSD! I totally agree about the dissonance in the beginning and the lack-luster ending. Hopefully the next chip compo will motivate me to make something more polished. :) Glad you like the melodies, too - I don't know quite how it got in my head, but I put it down in FL's piano roll as quickly as possible. XD Thanks again! Good luck in the NGADM. ;D

[Two Steps From Your Garage]

Dude. This makes me want to move. Splendid o.O

zybor responds:

Thank you for your review! :D

i'm working on our track as we speak. :)

[Battle In The Halls]

This sounds fantastic, man!
Best of luck in the competition :)

Ceevro responds:

I hope it's good enough to beat my competitor! He's damn good!

[NGADM 2017 Round of 64 Podcast]

Another great podcast!
Thanks for the shoutout :'3

I've already got a few ideas when it comes to the first track, muahahahahah!... Jordi better watch out >:D

ChronoNomad responds:

Thanks, Lucid! Your reviews always make me smile.
Hey, the shout-out is well deserved. ^__^

Oh, do you now? That comes as no surprise to me! Can't wait for the legendary showdown.
