Chloroform's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Civilisation (Loop)]

Groovy

You have GOT to make this into some sort of full song, as it's quite remarkable. You're the only artist on Newgrounds that I actually bother listening to anymore, and this is a prime example of why that is. Makes me think of some scene in a movie where people are driving through a city at night or something.

synteza responds:

i've made a bazillion songs out of that beat. i have no freaking clue what to do with it haha.

BAM

I love this, the drum beat just totally owns everything in the face, and the pads just make my ears go "BAM". The horn near the end is a nice touch as well. Good stuff, I wish you posted songs more often. The only thing I would have to say negatively about it is the lack of a real name, but that's not even about the song.

Great job.

synteza responds:

i think Soundtrack kinda fits. like, the soundtrack to my life! or something.

Nice way to return

First off, I'm thrilled that you've finally posted some new material, and that while it has that certain similarity with your other songs, it still stands out as its own song. Secondly, I'd like to ask you if there's any way I could get my hands on more of your songs (MSN? E-mail?), I'm positive that you've been asked this before, but I thought I'd ask you first rather than simply sending you a random e-mail.

Anyways, back to the song. The bass is very catchy, and I found the melody that comes in a bit later to be one of your better ones, the ambient noises in the background add a cool feel to the song, and make it sound much fuller than had they not been there. The only problems I can see with this song would be how it's a tad repetitive, the bass may be great, but it's played for the entire song with little variation. Also, the melody that comes in is short lived, as with the rest of the song.

Nice to see you're still making music, keep it up. :)

synteza responds:

This song is pretty much a slaptogether, made because I felt like putting something here. That's not an excuse or anything, that's just what this happens to be :P

Anyhoo, agreed on everything, too short, too repetitive, etc.

Thanks, you keep it up too

[Better off electric]

Fantastic

This was a brilliant song, it was very calming, and not as annyoing as most house songs.

Keep up the good work!

dj-padman1 responds:

Cheers mate, glad to hear from you and I appreciate your kind words ;)

[Fragile Peace]

Robotic Trees

I love this track, the robot bird sounds go really nice with it, and the drums are very cool, especially with their lower volume. Definately one of my favorites of yours.

Downloaded and fived ;)

dj-padman1 responds:

Thanks dude, I'm very grateful for downloads. They help suggest that I'm not completely wasting my life.
Keep up the great work with your own stuff :)

[Shadow Rejects]

Not bad, but not great

The beggining of the song was really cool, but after a while, it got tired and repetitive. There was this one loud, high pitched synth that really annoyed me, it came in right after the bass breakdown, it really brought the song down. You do show that you could become better over time though, just keep practicing. ;)

Noe3 responds:

Thanks for the review, yeah I got a little carried away with the main theme especially at the beginning and I was trying to fix that with that high synth but it didnt turn out like i had planned.

[Trunked]

Randomness rules

The song really has no base to it, which doesn't have to be a bad thing, I like the almost random sounds that go throughout the song with little pattern to them, it makes it very interesting. The drums are pretty sweet as well.

dj-padman1 responds:

I think I was pretty hung over/stoned when I made this one. Maybe I didn't make it, maybe I just strung together some sounds from the spaceship that picked me up last week for the voyage through space.
I'm confused..
Thanks again for the review ;)

[Acid Breakbeat]

Boring

To be brutally honest, it is quite gruelling to listen to, because its is incredibly repetitive, and only has like, 3 different sounds ever going on in it, the drums are kind of good, but everything else drags it down.

nyiddle responds:

I kind of agree with you. In a good portion of the songs I make (even the ones I don't submit to NG audio portal) the melody and arps and synths and whatever else isn't the focus of the song. The drum part is, because that's usually the part I spend the most time on (and I enjoy it as well) and it's the part I have the most experience with.

Thanks for being honest.
PS: The guy below you is a fag.

[Pyramids]

Like always...

You fail to disappoint, however, everytime i download it, i only recieve half the song, i don't know why.

synteza responds:

Perhaps you should try twice as hard.

Good

Very nice, the piano fits perfectly, although it could have been more variated, and it ends kind of abruptly.

Waterflame responds:

thanks! :D yeah, i made this when i was sleeping somewhere else for 3 days, and so well i diddnt have time to finish it like i wanted to. i did however, later on, but i feel like its a bad thing dooing what i did with techrock.. submiting many ver.'s of one song is kinda ..bleh. i guess ill just have to slow down and only submit something when im sure i dont wanna change anything from now on! :P damn i wish i wassnt so submit-trigger-happy when i was younger. theres so much crap i wanna delete.. anyways thanks!
