LucidShadowDreamer's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zombie Commodity]

I'm going to the trip tomorrow! But I'm glad I got to listen to this today :)
This is a super interesting track after all!

zybor responds:

Thank you for your review! Have fun on the trip! :)

[Self Portrait OST]

I love the sound so far! I'm excited to hear this in the project once it comes out! Lovely stuff ^ ^

Azhthar responds:

Thanks a lot! The final mix has just been finished and I guess if everything works fine the film will be up within the next two days :)

[Spark]

That's a really catchy beat!
I like how the percussion is kind of in the foreground (though filtered) for the most part, while the rest is simply adding atmosphere around it. Keep up the splendid work!

larrynachos responds:

Thanks lsd :3

[Manufacturing Consent]

Super catchy stuff! Just dropping by to say hi :)
I really enjoyed the piece :D

zybor responds:

Thank you very much for your review! :)

Happy skiing!! :D

[Giving Soul]

The buildup is very effective here, and is quite satisfying too! You managed to get a fair deal of power into the mix. The genre and style reminds me of what you did in Running Free! Which is definitely not a bad thing :D
I love the use of the choirs :3
Great job!

[LL (Old) - Enslaved To The Pain]

You had me from the first second! It's extremely rare to hear something that sounds this raw and effective. I'm quite a cynical person, but this track almost made me feel a bit uncomfortable at points! Uncomfortable in a very pleasant way though ;)

The lyrics are just as on point as the sound. You know, I actually saw Zephyo's piece the day it was uploaded, on January the 2nd last year. It's quite incredible to have it come back to life in this manner!

As always, I've very impressed by your mix. The sheer amount of power is amazing! The cool effects, the background, the cries of despair, the instrumental aspects are all killer, and totally your style!
I honestly can't say much more. I'm simply very impressed!
I'm glad you took the time to work on this, to the point where it sounds this good.

[That Moment of Instinct]

I've only heard a few of your pieces before, but as I'm going through your stuff I find more and more reason to check out your even older pieces as well. I hope you find the time to compose and upload something new soon!

Deemo-R responds:

That's very gracious of you, thanks a lot! I've honestly been a little disappointed in how little I've produced in the past year, but college is very busy and I take it as seriously as I can. I'm debating tossing up the crude mockups of my unrecorded class projects, and I have a bunch of unfinished tracks that I've thought about finishing when I have the chance. Hopefully that'll fill out this year a bit once I finish the semester! :D

[Excerpt of Sacred Mass (Credo)]

Wow, this is super cool!
I love choir singing that's pulled off this well :O
I'm really glad I took the time to listen to your latest upload, as I got to be blown away by this :)

Deemo-R responds:

Thanks! A lot of credit has to go to the singers here, they really brought life to the material despite it being just a cold reading. Writing with the style of the time period in mind is really difficult, at least for me, so I'm happy at how decent this turned out. If you enjoy ancient choral music, definitely check out works by Palestrina, Orlande de Lassus, William Byrd, and Thomas Tallis, just to name a few. Simply beautiful - there is a lot that I'd love to learn from those minds!

[AIM - Nostalgic Recollection]

You've really learned to use those pianos! Mixing three of them in one piece is quite a feat, since you managed to make it sound so unified and pretty :3
I also feel like you did a really good job with the strings, especially with the dynamics :D
Ofc, I haven't even mentioned the pretty melodies, the transitions (the bells, the key change), and the great arrangement, like with the left hand of the piano, which often plays a counter melody!

The ending is sweet and right on point as well ^ ^
Great job, dude! Keep it up, and good luck in the competition!

[Renee (complete)]

This is pretty cool :O
And also pretty. Your vocals are always interesting to hear in your music, and this sure was an intriguing use! :D
I'm looking forward to hearing what you've been working on lately, once the time is ripe ;)

backwardecho responds:

Awe, thank you so much for your kind words!^^ <3 Yarr, I hope you'll like my next song too! x)
