VacantVirtuoso's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kainé Absolution]

My opinion is somewhat biased, although i usually hate dubstep i feel this track was tastefully done, Nier is one of my favourite games, hope you consider doing a few more tracks from it.

There were a few tracks from Nier remixed and sold as dlc for Drakengard 3 and they felt as though they butchered the origional tracks to create them... would of preferred them to be remixed like this, they were such a letdown.

[FF8: Force Your Way]

Good job, have always loved this song.

JDawg00100 responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it

[Hall of Mirrors]

This is really well produced.

[Chant de l'Eveil]

Is it you singing? if so you're splendid. Found myself drifting into a special place as the song went on, seemed as though the song went through 3 phases, the beginning being a state of loss and uncertainty, the middle being joy and the ending acting as some form of acceptance and relief. Put a smile on my face when it kicked into the second phase around 1:50

Troisnyx responds:

Yes, that is my voice. ^_^ It's uncanny how you described the beginning as uncertainty, the middle as joy and the end as acceptance -- the lyrics kinda suggest that, and it's only because you told me that I noticed.

Thanks for listening, as always. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Dragon's Dogma Cover WIP]

Only part i didn't like was the section starting from around 0:53 reason being it was distorting your voice abit with all the sounds firing off, the parts where it was just you singing with piano behind you were really good though. You have a really powerful voice!

Jessismith responds:

Thanks!

[Floating in Thunderous Skies]

Late hearing this sadly, I'm not exactly knowledgable when it comes to music but this was just a real pleasant piece to listen to, adding this to my personal playlist i use for when i am drawing. now have the rest of your work to dig through.

Troisnyx responds:

Thanks! I'm just glad it was pleasing to the ear -- after all this while. Looking forward to what you have to say to the rest!

[:Stormy Skies:]

The scattered notes make me think of rain falling from the sky and hitting puddles below, that echoey resonating sound flows so well. Conveys such emotion, i like this loop :)

AshleyAlyse responds:

So happy you like it! I tried to make it sound like raindrops falling, glad to hear I succeeded in doing so a bit. :) Thank you for the review! :D

[Remnants of humanity]

Has a command and conquer feel about it, especially halfway in when it began to increase in pace, more atmospheric than anything.

Yqarus responds:

Thank you.^^
