DukeoOoHazrd's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[*~Lucidity~* (RJK)]

Nice...

I like your style. It's different, and a fresh relief! I really like the higher pitched background tones you put in throughout the song, although I think there was one note that was off... but it wasn't that bad. Kinda reminded me of the Phandoran Drifts (Prob. Spelled wrong) from Metroid Prime.

Keep it up!

I like your use of clip voice-synths personally! Good melody and beat to it, and the beat changes with the progression of the song, unlike a lot of material out there today. It's a good bucket of cold water poured on a hot head!

Thanks for submitting it!

[{Hollow Man} Remastered]

Hmm...

I liked it... but i don't think as much as the original... The original had more of an 'edge' to it that this version... this version almost seems 'rounded' in a sense... idk how to explain it...

I think you may have slowed down the tempo a bit... not much, but it was a little noticeable.

Overall... i Loved it, but i think i love the original more.

The original version just got my heart pumping and my head bopping more. I liked some of the new sounds you put in it, they aren't too different from the original voicing of the original version, but it just is missing the edge the first had.

Keep up the good work!

Your Loyal fan ever since I heard "Rattle the Cage"(Still my favorite),

PS: I am looking to get into some trance/bass composition, but don't know what to get. Any tips? I used to have a laptop with Sybelius 4, but... it broke =(. All that had thought was classical... I might upload a song i made on it... i think i will!

Thanks!

Time Up Earth. Your At Your Spherical Edge.

We fight for survival, against are only rival, we are all dammed, unless we make the stand.

Our world has been screwed, our lives can never be renewed, no matter how hard we try, we will all surely die.

If only we had given a damn, we would not be stuck in the sand, the tables of time have turned, and we, the world, have burned.

There is only so much life, there is never so much strife, the comforts that we hold dear, are the things we will learn to fear.

If only we had given a damn.

Good song man... if you can't tell... you just inspired me.

Nice Harmonics

Nice song! I like the piano as the main instrument... it has always been my favorite, but i think that the piano voice you picked may have been just a TEENY bit to bright... same with some of the percussion you put in there..... like the Ratata-tat-tat thing you have going on there... i thing it would have sounded a little better if it had been a snare..... it doesn't have enough... voice to it. Other than that it's really good! BTW... did you get a new software? I haven't listed to any of your other new stuff, but it sounds a lot different than the last one of yours a heard. You using something new?

Overall... Nice Song!

I wouldn't call what i have new software no. Just some better VST's and sound fonts. Hmm I kinda like the brightness of the piano! However i may be working on a darker track not like this one. =) as always thanks for review and much luv!

[Time (The Milkman_Dan Finale)]

WHAT??

You are leaving?? ARE YOU SERIOUS?? How can you leave Newgrounds if you have such a talent for writing such beautiful music? Are you signing on for money or just stopping?
How could you?
This better not be your last piece!!!
MilkMan_Dan, you better not leave the space on my favorite artists!
How could we accept your just quitting?

Ok now to the review...
Nice piano...like always...good background strings...as usual...nice cord structure...duh...nice melody, doesn't get boring...nice switch of melody to strings when the piano starts a solo with scales...nice guitar choice...nice synchronization of guitar and piano melody/counter melody...nice use of percussion at ending...too short!...i think the piano would of been better if it had a couple more complicated melodic parts to it.
Seemed like you spent a lot of work on it, but not your best piece, still good though.
The piano could of been a little more soloistic at some times. A good piece over all, but you know what they say...you can always improve.
Still don't know why you are leaving.

I love your work, and will be sad to see you go.

Far well MilkMan_Dan. I will miss you.

Love This Song

Lol, i knew that i had heard this somewhere. It came from non other than my favorite modern music composer Cornandbeans!!! Have listened and downloaded most of your compositions.
Love all of them!
I still think my favorite though by far is "Rattle The Cage" I have no clue how that didn't get very good reviews!!! It is by far one of the single best songs i have ever heard in my life!

Nice Loop, Relaxing and Flows Well

Best song i have heard in a while. Is a kind of... diversion... no a kind of break from the break-neck songs i usually listen to. Sounds like something I play on my piano, not actually sounds like it but the kind of relaxing style you have. I love it! Calmed me down after being stressed about the work I have today (the stuff I should be doing instead of surfing Newgrounds, but i think it was worth it since I turned over your rock!). I think this is the best song you have written so far. I like some of the others that you have written, but they just don't compare...sorry. I am glad you made it to this weeks most popular, definitely deserved it!
Looking forward to your future audio submissions on Newgrounds...:
