Gillenium's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Winter's Distance(140)]

ah very nice

Even better than the version you showed me the other day! The precussion, although minimal, sounds very natural. Almost sounds like it was played live. Gotta love that. Well.. you've already heard my opinions on everything else :D Keep up the good work.

Kid2Will responds:

thanks man. i got a new laptop now, finally. and i am saving up to actually buy FL this time.

[Here We Are <B.§>]

why isn't this reviewed yet...

Totally dig'n it! First of all, let me say that the sound quality SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
UUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!... ahem. But I'm not one to dismiss the quality of a song because of the quality of its recording! If one really takes the time to listen to this, they can get a whole lot out of it! The play between guitars is sweet. If it was a little less staticy, I think I could listen to it all day long. But until that faithful day, I shall leave it with two listens, a 5, and a review. I bid you adieu, sir.

SensoryDecay responds:

Ahh, Gillenium. I give you many thanks sir. Yes the sound quality blows harder than most women i know, but I thank you kindly for savoring it for the quality withthin the shitty....quality. no pun intended, unless thats not even a pun. Or im just retareded. Anyway thank you for the mad awesome review man, and the 5. You surely kick ass man. I heart you and your music. Keep on keepin on yo. Bamsukka out.

tasty!

Very nice soundscape here. Although, I have to say I liked it much better before all the voice acting kicked in. Sorry if this offends you! But yeah, fantastic job as always, my friend.

LJCoffee responds:

Heh - Thanks Gill!

No offense taken at all - This was part of an exercise that I posted:

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=580135

All of the music was generated in less than 15 minutes using a crude formula and a few stickers - adjusting levels and tweaking filters took longer than the rest :D

As for the voice - It was taken from what was originally made as a comedy/parody that a few of us filmed a few years back - taken out of context though it sounded fairly creepy so I figured what the hell - I'll throw 'em in there and see what happens.

BTW - I still listen to your CD on occasion :D - putting out another anytime soon?

[Power of that SS]

haha, pretty sweet

Argh, the riffs are too chiseled.. They're hurting my ears! Other than that, I really enjoyed it! Never bursts into the orgy of synth and drums I was hoping for, but I loved the play between the synths, even if they were a bit too hard cut. I'd love to hear more of like the parts where the synths go crazy and play for a while. Dunno if you know what I'm talking about.. Keep it up, man!

Kid2Will responds:

Thanks Gillenium.

[Power Shift Techno]

rock'n!!

Ok, here's how it is. I think this could be my favorite song on newgrounds IF you changed a few things. First of all, the small thing. About 3/4 through the song, a guitar came in that was a bit too loud. Tone that mutha down! Ok, here's the big thing. I so wanted this song to rip into an orgy of guitar and awesome drums, but the drums never really exploded. The song leads up to it, but it's not there, dude. I really think it would be worth it to spend a lot of time working on a killer drum sequence to go with this. I mean, the use of Slayer is probably the best I've seen. You just gotta give the guitar some drums that match the intensity of the song. Rocked hard, dude!

Kid2Will responds:

This makes me mad( lol not ur review, i needed a new pair o pants from that), makes me mad since i dont have but the demo of FL, so i couldnt save gir!, lol thanks man, i will try to recreate it, as soon as i go purchase the full version, im gonna change it though, not much. Anyway dude thanks so much for your review =)

[Gentle Rage]

distortiony goodness

I like, I like. Keep it up, I'll be listening. Good sounds and sequence.

LJCoffee responds:

Thanks Gill. I appreciate the review!

[The End <B.§>]

I like this

What program(s) do you use? This reminds me a bit of Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2 by... well, if you don't know who made that album, you better look into it ASAP! Great background stuff.

SensoryDecay responds:

Haha, thanks man. I use Sony Acid Pro 5.0. Thanks again.

[Ambient Solution (remix)]

not too shabby

Pretty good for one of your starting pieces. This sounds like FL to me... so I'll give advice based on that. Some of the sounds are a little off when they hit their high points. I would tune the notes with the tempo knob until they sounded right. And you should consider getting a wav editor to remove interference, like the ticks at the beginning of the sounds that start at the very beginning and continue throughout the song. Keep it up, I think you could become really good. Just remember to use filters and unique samples to create a signature sound!

MTS069 responds:

THANX A LOT. I needed that :)

[«Repossesion» .:EN3RGIE:.]

smooooth

Not exactly ambient (sorry, I'm a huge ambient buff. I'd call yours 'slow trance' :D) but definitely a beautiful piece. Love everything about it. It'd be a shame for you to ever stop making music, so yeah... keep it roll'n.

EN3RGIE responds:

Hey TheNewGillenium! Im glad i got a review from you, the master of ambient music! lol I do agree with you, this is slow trance but hey i thought maybe i could mix it up slow it down and give it a nice twist. Ill keep making music for as long as i can and i hope you do to, your stuff is great!

Thx for your review and score!

bye!

[Around the Campfire]

argh, gorgeous

I love compositions. This worked really really well. Make more like this, because I like it! You're gonna have to give me that harmonica soundfont...

Sebby-man responds:

Thanks! Well, if you use reason, in combinator you will find a dirty blues harmonica and guitar split, or something like that. Delete the scream under the harmonica and delete anything else except for the reverb (whether or not there is one, im not really sure, so u might have to make your own ((ALL: Warm Plate under R7000 Reverb is fine)) Put to a good sounding level, and you have a pretty good harmonica). Sorry that i cant just send you the sounfront because i dont know how.

Well i liked the review, you may see another song like this in the future, but i dont like to include the same instruments in any two of my songs, so it may be different than u expect. Ok, well thakns for reviewing!
