JakBaronKing's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Remix'd Retro Super Mario Land]

Ah...a classic brought back to life ^^

DUDE! Videogame fans will rejoice at the sound of this remix...

I wouldn't change a thing...except maybe that pause inbetween the origional and the remix...the pause is just a tad long....just a "bit"'''''' shorter. That pause button sound.

Perhaps after 1:30 seconds you can add some electric guitar?

A 5 on my vote and a 10 on the review.

MC-Jimmy responds:

I will see what I can do since I really like this song and I like messing with it a lot. :)

[Crystone Caverns]

Very Good

I hope it's a space shooter game or something...It does sound like R-type.

Ric-Olzow responds:

Yah...Maybe I'll learn some flash skills sometime and make it a real flash game...

[*What Have I Done? *]

I am suddenly filled with a sense of deep regret

This song would go perfectly with a scene of regret...pain...and suffering.

Like a Guy walking though the rain...holding a single rose...the thorns piercing deeply into his hands...the blood dripping down only gives him a painful distraction to the loss of his love in that fatal accident.

He looks in the alley way...thats where he had the flash back....

He and his girl were walking home from the theaters...suddenly...a group of guys rush him...he is taken into the back of the alley and his girlfriend is taken behind the corner....he's beaten up quite badly...and falls on the ground passing out...all he could hear was the struggles that his dear friend was making trying to escape...and calling out his name.

When he awoke...he got up...and walked up to her..only to find her body...lifeless.

She gave it her all....to try and save him...but lost her life stuggling.

"Why couldn't I protect her....as she tried so hard to protect me....."

KTRECORDS responds:

Holy crap that's deep! It's great! I can picture the whole thing! Man, that really is depressing... Lol, I almost feel bad for writing the song now.

Thanks for the great review! It makes me feel that putting all the effort into this song was worth it! Have a great day : )

[Gerudo Valley- Final - Round 2]

AWSOMENESS

Very epic...like Metal mixed with Zelda

I'll bet this could be used for a fighting game version of Zelda

[Key on a String]

Sounds very tribal

like something out of an african american bee-bop tunes...with a bit of jamacian twist...kinda like blue-man group.

The Build up to hip-hop earns my greatest respect...if your a group...make this shit work....I think you've got what it takes^^

-JBK

Tinmanusa responds:

Thank you, Tinman=one guy. Great review!

[Silent Thought]

The Build up is a tad long...

but you have the creative sound bits that can only compare to Gorillaz newest Album D-Sides.

You really capture the feeling of bizzar techno sound bits.

But try to reduce the intro from 1:45 to only 30-45 seconds...newer listeners might lose interest.

-JBK

revamped responds:

It took me about 30 mins to mix that synth correctly, good that someone takes notice in it.

[What Have I Done? incomplete]

It does have that sense of regret to the melody

Although I feel this is aimed towards videogames....some of the notes sounded a bit 8-bit...but only between the first 30 seconds.

KTRECORDS responds:

One of the instruments I wasn't too sure on keeping at first because I noticed that a few times it seemed a little fake. So I think I know what you are talking about. In the end it did more good than harm, so I went ahead and just left it as is. I do feel my song would fit perfectly in a video game though, you are right, lol.

[KH: Dearly Beloved]

Not bad

you can add more to the piano...I seem to hear some missing notes.....as for adding that low pitch....well...it's a little hard to hear....maybe an angelic choir instead?

[Kirby Super Star - Dynablade 1]

HA! Everybody loves that tune!

Listening to a barable techno version of it instead of that videogame bleeping sound...makes it album worthy.

Creating better versions of game music is great ^^

What else can you do?

[Unexpected Code]

Cool this is just like SBB's music

I just love soundscape...music that causes me to totally escape reality and venture into a world of my imagination...allow me to honor you with my thoughs that occure in my mind as I listen to this...

I am floating in a void of bright light...a blue scanner goes back and forth across my body...I am suddenly uplifted and placed in a simulated world of chaos and destruction...buildings are torn asunder...bodies of men women and children are all dead around me...and I am staring face to face of an evil alien robot....Lazer shoot and I dodge them effortlessly...

Then the song ends before I can imagine anything else.

bladerunner627 responds:

Thanks :). Space-ambient tends to project those sort of feelings and images. I'll definitely make an effort to make more tunes like this. My hard drive was wiped but there's still a chance that I managed to save the source on my backup.
