cRAVE01's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[god saved me >mnm925<]

it can be built upon.

its not bad, it sounds to me like it has great quality, but the song as a piece sounds a little disjointed . . . almost like one of the sample tunes you'd get on a cellphone :\ I must say tho, I really really, REALLY REALLY dig the piano at the end. catchy and beautiful. take that piano, the percussions, and make a song off of those elements in this song and you'd have something pretty sweet.

Loved the choir-church feel in there. I wish there was more God-themed/inspired stuff on NG, so I am glad to see this piece.

thx

Pretty fun

dude, once it reached the end I was like "alright, supa heavy bass comin and thumpin!" and it started over. Little disapointing . . . :( but mebe thats only b/c this is your half of the collab . . . o-o so I'm not gonna dock points ^_^ but I like what I hear and can appreciate the production and effort that is very apparent.

do a DKC DnB remix when your done with this collab. I've seen so many DKC reviews here on NG with your face on it, you'd make some seriously sick ReMixes

Cebster responds:

yeah while mixin this i got freaked out. thought there was to much bass. soo i just dropped most of all of the low freq. maybe i shouldnt have dropped it so much. hahah and about the dck maybe i will. i did abrambles dk song. but it really sucks. i was more newbish back then. but it does have some sick drums.

[DKC2 - Too Enchanted]

DUDE

I always love the drum/percussion half of your ReMixes! This is an excellent ReMix and you've done the song credit. It starts off on a great foot and gives you the hint: "what you are about to hear is gonna be good." and it doesn't fail to disapoint. I love the flute with the bass plucking in the back-an excellent mood there. This sits perfectly aside Ice cave!

Thomas responds:

There are no flutes in this song,they're oboes.But no matter.

Thanks for the review.

[.:HMS:. Venture - Departure]

ok, i REALLY liked this

its wonderfully relaxing and energized at the same time. I can't think of a single thing I would do different to build upon this. You should be proud of this. ohh, lovin' the cool down at 1:33. liquid enjoyment. You should be really proud of this. DEFFENTELY a favorite.

HMS-Productions responds:

If you loved this, you'll die if you hear part 3 'Omega'. Or you might not lol, but I defenitely thought this was the worst of the 3 parts.

Glad you liked it though I worked really long on this one

[.:HMS:. MK Remix Attempt]

I like this interpretation

Its a different, almost relaxed version of the MK theme. I really njoy this. worth a favorite. voted 5

HMS-Productions responds:

Thanks, a lot of people I showed this to really like it, I think I will give this one another shot

[.:HMS:. Ephemera MAC8]

pretty cool

I love that bassy thump. thump. The trance-man inside of me was wanting to hear it go Thump on every 1/4, but I decided I liked it the way it is because it adds to the anticipation feel of the song. Still woulda been nice to have that anticipation fulfilled, but I won't dock the score for that ^_' I like the instrument (I think a bell of some sort) that you introed at 1:08-09ish. I woulda liked to see that played with more because it sounds really pretty, mebe even its own melody would have been nice.

But this song is a lot more than I could do, so it scores well in my book for technicality. Its points drop only because I would have liked to have seen thsong take a break from the high-energy that the horns provided to a nice mellow melody with just strings and mebe a pad (or that nice bell-like instrument you used).

pretty good

HMS-Productions responds:

haha it's funny cuz I despised that mellow bell thing, I wanted to take it off, not sure why I didnt.

My goal was to make a really epic song, I guess a mellow quiet part just didnt occur to me. Around 2:00 it sounds pretty quiet :D

Anyways, thanks for checking it out

[SML: Muda Kingdom Loop]

this is SO AWESOME!

this is my FAVORITE SONG ON THAT GAME! I never understood why noone (including myself) had never made a remix b/c it was such a fun tune to begin with. Way to stay true to the original and build upon it and make it even happier feeling!

Love it! 10/5/download/fav

CyrusOfNaias responds:

:D
This was about the first time I started using real audio clips in my stuff

thx a bunch m8

[Paradise on E (Karco Remix)]

This is like a good stake

you can chew on it for a long time till all the flavor is gone, but once you bite into the next cut, its the same flavor and taste, but still oh so good. This song boasts a good 10 minutes worth of energy and rhythm-a techno-head like myself's DREAM-and yet every time the song returns to the melody or moments of cool-down, it is as flavorful and enjoyable as the first time you heard it. I've been listening to this song for a good 2-3 weeks now and I still find myself raving where I find myself at the time of listening to it. I am addicted to the epic/peaceful-feel-like-I-am-flying feel of it all. And because "Paradise on E" is on so many of my playlists, CDs, played it so many times on AudioSurf (YouTube AudioSurf if you don't know what it is) and have had it on repeat for so long in my car, I am comfortable saying that as far as I am concerned, this is single-handedly the BEST song on NG. Karco is in the same leagues as Pulstate, Cornandbeans, G-r4ve and A-New-Decade as far as I am concerned (yes, yes, and due credit to BOUNC3 who composed the original). This song plays wonderfully alongside such songs as Airborn, Departure, Waves across the Universe, etc. And the only thing I could imagine being better than THIS here song is all five of the above mentioned artists putting their creative MASTERMINDS together to make the song to end-all techno songs of awesomeness (of course there will be 12 year-olds with no life that vote it down-but few care for them)!

N-E-ways, amazing song. Love it for always, download, 5 outta 5, 10 outta 10, (Obviously) a download (the full quality version is pure liquid ecstacy btw), and a favorited song and artist. Karco, sorry for taking SO LONG on getting this review up. Thanks for putting this up and for all the BUTT-LOAD of work you put into this. You should be very proud of this song.

God Bless

Karco responds:

Thanks for the kind words cRAVE01! :) I definitely did put a lot of work into this track. Two months of it, I believe...

Yes, I know AudioSurf, I bought it myself. I play a track now and then.

As for best song on NG, I doubt it, but you're entitled to your own opinion and if that's what it is, I'm flattered. ;D

And a five-way collab would be madness. First of all we don't use the same programs, second we'd rarely be on at the same time, and thirdly we wouldn't necessarily have the time for it. In any case, collabs by two (or more) of one's favorite artists are always awesome. :P

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it so much! :D

[Melancholy Winter]

^=^

makes me want to whip out my psone and play harvest moon in the lobby of some fancy over-priced hotel while people pass by and look at me weird as they watch me play harvest moon in a very animated fashion, and then the dude behind the lobby desk would come over and tell me to leave for being overly animated. But if it was a girl that came over from behind the counter(she'd be cute like one of the pink haired girls in the game), she'd ask me for my number.

So thanks alot for getting me in trouble/helpin me get a cute girl's number ^o' love the song. 10 outta 10, 5 outta 5. and I'll have to download for those days I want to do the above scenario or chillax.

CrazyCookie responds:

That'd... Be quite hilarious to see. And a rich guy wearing some type of highly expensive house coat and wearing a monocle would say "My God!" in a British accent.

[Manufacture {X-is-Trance}]

WOW->SEXY :D

Mad props for this. It makes me desire a full song. But I love what you have here. 10,5,and DL

Death-9 responds:

Thanks :P I felt like it could have been full as well, but I only have the demo and I was getting bored :P
