VicariousE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Parallax Horizon]

Reminiscent of Jan Hammer, Genesis, Talking Heads, Devo, Kraftwerk, Yazoo... I better stop while I'm ahead :) Not as catchy as it could be, but the structure and the synths used, were a spot-on example, of prime 1980's TV series filler/mood music (such as Miami Vice or Crime Story). Very nice man, I'd love to hear this song in animation here!

AliceMako responds:

Awesome, that is exactly the vibe i was after :D

I wasn't old enough to sit through an episode of miami vice and to this day i find most of the pop from back then depressing, so arguably my positive impressions come from the sampled synths my amiga indoctrinated me with :3

Composition wise i'm having a hard time making things as catchy compared to genuine 80s stuff, i find that's all way more lively then what my own techno background has me well versed in unfortunately :(

[Cheri]

Audiobook quality work indeed! Pacing, clarity and intonations all professional grade :)

ech0tan responds:

Thanks a lot, it wasn't planned that I was going to be sharing it. Just supposed to be a prize for Esty. But the contest coordinator, 4Urentertainment felt that we should share it. I'm looking forward to all of my followers getting to listen to it too.

[Worth Your Time]

Tastefully pitch-corrected and structured. Very loveable tune and natural speaking, introspective lyrics... didn't even seem like a 4 minute song, it was so good! Professional example of the New Wave genre!

[Rainbow in the Dark - cover]

That was unexpectedly good, really!

[A Storm Over Lavender Lane]

Not really a classical music buff, but this short little tune was certainly complex and quite pleasing! You composed this yourself? Remarkable work!

headphoamz responds:

I composed it, yep! Thanks Vicarious, glad you enjoyed it. It was fun/challenging to write.

[Eldrick and Torres Theme]

Should still be proud of it! It has a grand sound, professional even!

headphoamz responds:

Thank you :D

[First Impressions]

It's a really fun mix of tunes! Only downer might be the muffled dialog at the end.. maybe you could ask a VA to do the final lines :)
