Jazza's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_-={When Gods War}=-_]

You're part of Dino Beatdown? very cool :) I love this song, lots of really awesome stuff happening and thematically very interesting. The only thing I can think of that would help me enjoy it more would be to bring out the warm tones more, nice and 'chunky' in the EQ, feels a bit light for such an epic song atm. That and bringing out the melody lines a little more so it sticks in my head more. Very minor observations on a piece that's very well put together!

MaestroRage responds:

hey Jazza! Long time my friend.

Yes I am indeed. Those are very observant and appreciated comments. After listening/working on this piece and others for, quite literally 50+ hours I am completely deaf to impurities and flaws.

I'm pestering Zach EVERY DAY asking about Ortus lol, here's to the day that project wrecks murder the landscape we call gaming ^________^. You let me know if I can be of any assistance.

[Portal Panic - Portal thm]

loved it, I love this theme tune in general anyway, and this variation suited our game and ads a nice spin to it.

Kooohler responds:

Thank you for those kind words :D.

[Haru Song]

haunting :D

i love it so much, though ever since meeting you i kind of expect anything coming from your mouth starting or ending with the word FUCK. otherwise, wonderful song, AWESOME aura and surrounding presence, i'm SO glad i didn't finish and upload my entry, coz there's no way it had any chance of competing with something like this. congratulations!

hania responds:

Thanks Josiah. Let's book in making music date soon! This time, I'll come to you ;)

[Tormented Heart]

great work!

i love your stuff hania!
this is a great moody peice, and the low end rumbles really bring it out. at times i wish it had a catch or something that would stick in your head from the first time listening, not in a negative way, i'm just trying hard to be constructive, which is hard coz its fantastic.

totally getting the album when its out! keep it up :)

hania responds:

Yay Jazza! :D

[Orchestral Theme 3]

thanks for the heads up!

as always i love your work. this peice is quite haunting, and wonderfully constructed. I am a fan of anything that feels epic and this does, French and Brass mixed with drums and choir makes me giddy as a school girl! fantastic work man!

Gravey responds:

Thanks for the review my friend. I am really happy with how this project turned out, and to get such a positive response is quite wonderful.

Thanks again.

[-Orr- Larry and the Gnomes]

oh david...

... this is why i love you :)

thank you for being a delight to work with. the music makes the game a thousand times more adventurous and fun, and brings the world to life. i'm looking foreward to releasing an album with you! :D

DavidOrr responds:

You've been a pleasure to work with as well! There's nothing quite like working with a talented, hard-working team - seeing everything come together is extremely rewarding.

About that album... I gotta get back to work!

[Orchestral Theme 2]

i love it!

incredible, intense, dramatic, astoundingly well written, i love the transition to the mediteranian feeling bridge in the middle.

10/10
5/5
+favourites

thank you.

Gravey responds:

Thank you very much. It's always wonderful to hear positive feedback from artists that I have come to respect. I love your stuff, so getting a compliment from you definitely holds more weight than the typical Newgrounder.

[*[=Love is near=]*]

nice

got a nice relaxing feel too it, and the drums come in at the perfect spot. it gets very repedative though so you need either a keychange or chorus of sorts. also some nicer VST's would bring it out but hey, we do what we can with what we got right! great work :)

Mozzak responds:

Thanks,Jos,you're the man.

[Piano_Force 2 [Box-Killa]]

axhilirating... i cant spell

great job. it was like a big adventure! thanks for taking me along the ride.

gotta love midi aye, makes all the fast notey stuff a LOT simpler lol.

the only crit i have to offer is it sounds quite mechanical at time like you feel like youre listening to a midi. still great work man.

Box-Killa responds:

Yeah unlike real life, you can make things ridiculously fast without lots of vigorous training. Thanks for your time, and review! Go check out the others in the series if you like this one :D

[[ d i s t i l l ] (demo)]

thank you

hey man
i'm the one who took a snippet of this song for the composer, i didnt know it'd be well received as it was so i didnt ask permission, ontop of that i was young and dint think much. anyhow, thought i'd take the opportunity to thank you and apologise for not speaking to you about it beforehand.

i knew i was looking for a guitar song and i wanted one that really showed the appropriate emotion and level of quiet feeling this does, so thank you for making the best acoustic sound on the portal mate.

sincerely me

Kingbastard responds:

thanks man, thanks for using the bit of the trk, certainly gained me a few more reviews:)
