PythonBlue's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[A PLACE LIKE THIS]

The rhythm is a bit trap-ish, but otherwise, this is pretty convincing as downtempo synthwave. The spoken word is okay, though my personal preference is without them. Overall, good job.

[Birthday]

Nice work. I like the bell synth a lot.

[Rotate]

Nice use of sampling, and love the dark sound! Not particularly found of the chiptune-like sweep, but that's just me. A great listen overall!

[Night Owl Remix]

Very nice work. Love the synths, but then, I admit I love the 80s sound. The brass line reminds me vaguely of Europe's "The Final Countdown".

I'm also thankful that you didn't resort to excess side-chaining, which is more than can be said for other synthwave artists. Overall, well done!

[Skyway Drive (DEMO)]

VERY well done! The synths definitely have that 80s sound to them, which is a good thing, in my book. The only gripes I have is the sudden end to the piece and my opinion that the snare could be louder when the song is full volume. Otherwise, great work!

Zazzy responds:

I had more planned but couldn't ever bring the thing full circle cause I'm bad with continuation.

[Time]

Sounds a bit simplistic, especially where the drums are concerned, but still good.

Shozi responds:

thanks man! yeah i didnt really put much "time" (;D) into it. but im glad you still like it :)

[Star Hunters]

Not bad. It's good space music, though I wouldn't consider it true ambient because it has a defined beat. I think the drums could be boosted a little bit as well. Some notes toward the end sound a bit off to me as well, which could be corrected by taking note of which notes you play on those "pitch-sliding" bits. Pretty good overall, though!

VideoGameManiac responds:

Thank you :D. Im having troubles to find the "off" notes tho, maybe because Im sick right now xd

[Some 80's Title (WIP)]

Very nice synthesizers, though I feel the drum machine doesn't sound that '80s to me. Good music in its own right, though! ;)

[Rain from the Moon]

Very nice! Personally, it doesn't sound like dubstep to me, which, to my ears, is a good thing. ;)

AcesArco responds:

Well Im glad you like it:)
