LucidShadowDreamer's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Space Traveller]

Heh, speaking about space and ambience, seems like you've got the perfect project for that going on xD
I absolutely love this!
Can't wait to hear what it'll be like when you finish it :D

sebastien01 responds:

Glad you liked it!
I was surprised when I saw your fractal after I uploaded my song. I decided to listen to this song while looking at your art

It matched pretty well, it was like a kind of random and natural AIM without knowing it :)
Thanks for the good words and the review!

You really managed to capture "something greater" through this piece. Part of the reason for why I love your music, is because I always feel that there is a lot of thought behind pretty much every piece. Pleasant music can be nice on its own, but it's even better if I feel it is accompanied by ideas and emotions. Naturally, I also like the fact that you simply tend to create really nice sounding stuff :p

I like the chords you used here, and the fact that the focus lies more on the atmosphere and on only a few sounds at once, as opposed to a clear melody. Like, there are always things going on in the background, but the focus is occasionally on the incredibly powerful vocals, on the recordings, or the slight shifts in chords and patterns. The piano and bass I feel are really nicely incorporated into this track as well.

Another great thing is the sense of continuity; even if there's a feeling of progress, with the constantly evolving track, the added instruments and so forth, the theme feels connected throughout. Let me throw it out there that the vocalists and your Guitalele playing friend did awesome jobs! They added a lot to the composition :)

I think you managed to produce this quite well too! I don't really have any complaints at this point, in the very least. I suspect I'll find myself listening to this piece quite a lot the coming weeks. Thanks a lot for sharing your music with us!

I'm also happy too see that you seem to be back to composing ^ ^
TL;DR:

Great job, awesome track ;)

Phonometrologist responds:

A TL;DR on a review? Who wouldn't take the time to read what another has said on their piece?
I really appreciate your feedback. I wish I was back to more composing, but this was just really thrown together by mere inspiration as opposed to practice and discipline. You mentioned the Guitalele parts adding a lot to the composition, and I want to even further add that it wouldn't be near the same piece without it. To me it's more philosophical in its usage as that is what makes the piece personal amid a piece that can sound too synthetic and cold. Having the synths fused together with something not electric, and having a quiet/modest sound, landing the plane of the song to its ending reminds me of a person at home in their bedroom daydreaming. With all the journeys we may partake in in this life, there's nothing quite like being at home. An old Indian friend of mine once asked me what life would be described as by using just one word. I wasn't sure at the time, but he himself used the word "vacation." I think about how one might plan a trip: we have an idea what we want to do, and sometimes it doesn't always work out as we originally have planned. But the point is, as we do go off in our own little adventure (hopefully a pleasant one), in the end, we must go back home.

[Ambient III]

I actually love stuff like this!
Nicely done ^ ^

NekoMika responds:

Thank you, I feel I'm going to go back to my roots soon, do a few more full song Ambient pieces then move onto synthwave and house. :)

[Cyberdevil's Back (2016)]

These are some sick slick lines dude!
I love it.

Cyberdevil responds:

Glad you liked it man! Thanks.

[my friends are no help]

I love the glitchiness :D
The voices are quite fun too. This is really catchy... Somehow :V
I think your friends definitely may have been of some help, since this ended up becoming such a fun track to listen to :p

Nicely done!

johnfn responds:

Thanks LSD! :D

[Kimimaro's Theme]

This is a cool take on the theme :)

larrynachos responds:

Kind as always, LSD. <3 Thanks for the listen and review! :)

[FD - Liberation and Death]

Both of the tracks you uploaded today are stunningly good! I'd give a more in-depth review, but I haven't slept in forever, so it's time...
Still though, really well done!

ForgottenDawn responds:

Hey thanks, buddy! You go get some good rest :)
The reviews can wait!

[In Control]

I just caught myself accidentally dancing to this.

DESHIEL responds:

better than accidentaly stabing yourself I guess ^^

[Lie Detector Test]

Cool to hear something new from ya!
It sounds really nice :)
It's awesome that you got permission too! It's a bit of a hazzle that one has to do that now, but I definitely understand it. On the plus side, it gives you a reason to seek out the original artist :D

Ceevro responds:

Sage Francis was totally cool with it. Responded pretty quick, too!

[TBP - ＡＵＲＯＲＡ]

#Awesome

larrynachos responds:
