Bad-Atom's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Power Ballad]

I instantly loved this.

9/10

This is a brilliant little piece of music. Great for setting a scene and mood. Not bad for 'playing around' with editing software. I really want to hear more from you!

blamethefool responds:

Thank you very much.

And that is mostly why I deemed it worthy to post and share on NG, because I was rather proud of myself (and my 'playing around' abilities).

[Dire Dire Docks-SuperMario64]

Hmm...

I like the Dire, Dire Docks theme so much, I made my own remix of it too. It's a really beautiful piece of music, isn't it? While yours is technically well done, the techno flavor really clashes with the main piano melody. Maybe if you used something other than a piano for the melody, something more synth-y, it would blend in better.

[Experienced]

Review speaks for itself.

It had a pretty catchy beat and the sound quality was good, but it was a little random and it needed a stronger melody to tie the whole thing together. Still, good work!

Logini responds:

Thanks!!

[Island Moonlight]

Well-done, but a little repetitive.

4/5

I really liked the instrumentation you used and the overall mix. Technically, it was flawless. It did become very repetitive after a while though, and there could have been more variation in the melody. But it was still very well done.

EchozAurora responds:

Technically flawless, and only 4/5!?
You must be a tough critic..lol
I'm glad you left a review though, yes.. I would have loved to have done something to ease the repetivity of the song, but the CPU was skipping so bad I couldn't do anything else.. but then again, trance is supposed to be repetitive.
Thanks for the review!

[[Dud] Adventure Music 2]

Wow. That... just... I... wow.

5/5

I first heard this song at random a while back and it really stuck with me for a long time. I've been meaning to review it (and your work in general) so here goes.

I think that you've created a brilliant composition here. It's melodic and powerful, simple yet complex and incredibly well-performed. Your other work is excellent as well (mostly variations on a theme) but I feel this one is among your best. I bet you've improved quite a bit since you first played this composition and I'd love to hear an updated take on it. Keep it up!

Dudidum responds:

I'm glad you liked it ;) and thanks for all compliments :D!

Like you said I improved a lot since my first submission. I tried a lot of new things (--> the other adventure musics) and I think they're all good pieces :).
I'll write a music sheet about that. If anyone is interested just e-mail me ;)!

thx for your review!

[Opening Music - for Love, Wink]

Imaginative music, perfectly complements animation

I was very impressed by "Love, Wink" and I think your use of music was clever and a perfect complement to the animation. And this goes for all four audio tracks; this is great and original music!

Dustball responds:

Thanks! I finally decided to submit these tracks to the audio portal. I'm interested to see how other people might use them in their animations!

[Zelda Theme (Orchestrated)]

Not spectacularly original, but not bad either

Not a bad effort. Zelda themes have been done many times before though, and your take on it wasn't particularly original.

Also, a nice segue from the bells into some horns for the main theme would have made it sound more authentic and more NES-like. Good job though.
