CainRedfield's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pressure]

Awesome! In the first 7 seconds I wasn't sure what I thought about it, but once the shots started, I immediately knew this was going to be an awesome listen. I have to say that my favourite part is probably the strings in the higher octave at the 50 second mark. I can see why you didn't really know how to classify this song though, it's definitely unique, but I think of that as a huge plus. Just wanted to let you know that I really liked this piece!

[The Collective]

This is the second piece I've reviewed of yours, and I must say, I really like your style. You write epic movie trailer-esque pieces, yet you give them a sort of industrial feel and spin. Makes for a much more interesting listen than most of the fairly generic "epic" music out there. This is an awesome piece, I like how it starts off with a "punch to the face" like intensity from the first second.

Hellwreckage responds:

Thank you! Guess that just is my sound, ever since i started doing this kind of composing ive always thrown in distorted sounds, noises and things you would not expect from this genre. Why not? It sounds good!

[Exile]

Nice feel, sounds very trancey to me. I could see this being a really sweet intro to song, and I look forward to hearing that song if you do write it!

[Battle for Yggdrasil]

This was a really awesome listen. Few people capture the theme of battle and war as well as you did. I really like what you did with the strings and percussion to give the song its intensity and epicness!

Ethril responds:

I'm starting to really get the idea that I should do a lot more Cinematic style songs. It's epic to make and it (for me) takes less mental effort to make, which tells me that it's a genre that I have a specific talent with. I love techno and ambient... but these are a dime a dozen and too structured most of the time. Cinematics are what we remember. Movies... games.... tv shows... that's where the most intense connections can be made. Thanks for the review! I'm so happy you liked it.
On another note... look up what Yggdrasil in Norse Mythology actually means. This is for my roots and for my mother Earth.

[Chillstep in Fm]

Really like this chillstep. The piano is nice and serene sounding. The only criticisms I'd give would be that your lower frequencies sound kind of bare for the start of the song, and I feel like if you incorporated them in a bit more, the song would have a much bigger sound. The drums also sounded a little bit loud compared to the piano. But otherwise, I really like the melodies you were working with, and this is a really cool song! You get a 5 from me

Kadadj responds:

Thanks! You should check out the original: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/565636

The other version is a bit more sophisticated. Especially in the plucked parts. It doesn't have a wubwub though. Let me know how you like it compared to this one!

Oh, and the frequency thing is probably due to me having absolutely shitty speakers. I don't hear much of the lower frequencies. I just kind of hope for the best.

[Sketch no. 84 (piano)]

Neat sounding piano riff, I just wish you had elaborated on it a bit more and turned it into a full song. If you ever do, be sure to let me know because I'd love to hear it :D

[Unavailable]

I like this, the build was nice, albeit a little long. This song kind of reminded of the game "Fez", just like happy and kind of alien at the same time. I like how you made the bass play 16th notes in the background. It gave the piece a cool almost urgent flow at times. And then how you brought it down to 8th notes at other parts chilled it out again. Awesome piece, I really enjoyed the listen :)

ArienV responds:

Thank you for the lovely comment and nice score :)
To be compared to FEZ is a huge compliment! Disasterpeace is a big inspiration to me.
This is perhaps the most personal song I've done so it's a bit scary putting myself out there more, so to speak. I just make music I like to listen to and if other people like it, it's a big blessing to me.

[Lost Ruin of Zodra]

Reminds me of Phantasy Star Online quite a bit actually. And that was one of my favourite games of all time, so to me, this song is a pretty awesome piece :)

VideoGameManiac responds:

Phantasy Star Online again? I have never played it, is it some kind of Rpg or Mmo? If yes then I can totally imagine why it sounds like that :D Thanks!
