KroweMusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[8-Bit - Tomb Hacker (Loop)]

You know...

...for a 8-bit song, this was actually really good! Its nothing like what I would listen to on my iPod, but I could definitely see it in a retro 8-bit game.

I'm thinking that I might do a cover of this song sometime :)

Great job man :)

mattuiop responds:

haha thanks. you should see some of my other stuff...including the rest of newgrounds XD!
thanks for the support!

[<MWA> African Trance]

YESH...

I don't know why, but when listening to this, I got the image of African tribesmen in futuristic armor and holding lightning spears as weapons...yeah...

I really enjoyed the song. It actually captures the African feel very well. The drums are perfect and that weird animal call is awesome. Its a shame that it wasn't used :(

Keep up the good work man :)

mjattie responds:

xd I can totally imagine what you image :P xd

and thanks! I thought it was pretty african too, but well...

[Perfection - Mjattie]

Ahh...

This was the very first song I ever listened to on the Newgrounds AP and it's still awesome almost 2 years later. This is one of my favorite tracks by you. You should do more stuff like this :D

mjattie responds:

xdxd I'll do that :P

thanks!

[<MWA> What if...]

It pisses me off...

...that a lot of the musicians on Newgrounds with real talent don't get nearly as much recognition as the 13 year kids that make shitty techno music...UGHHHH...

This song is absolutely beautiful and the fact that you only spent 3 hours making it is absolutely mind-blowing. I could really feel the emotion behind it. It would take me at least a few days to create a piano piece of this status.

The title is very appropriate for this song. It really captures that "What if..." feeling that people feel from time to time. Coincidentally, this feeling kind of relates to something that is happening in my life right now and I'm motivated to finally do something that I've been wanting to do for a really REALLY long time, so I thank you for that :)

So...all mah 5 r belong 2 dis. Again, very beautiful piece. I just might have to check out the sheet music, too. I'm looking forward to some new songs from you once you get past that writer's block. I'm going through the same thing right now, so I know how you feel. It sucks... :P

Fav'd! :)

mjattie responds:

ah... Can't really worry about the 13 year old kids that make shitty techno music xd I'm not trying to get to the hall of fame or newgrounds or something, but a small group of people who like this, means a lot more to me, than getting in the top-5 and getting a lot of comments (you can't call it review anymore)... What I really enjoy is a nice review, like I get now, when I pm the people who added me to their favorite artist list.

Well, it was only 3 hours of making, but it's also a bit of a combination of the stuff I tried to make in my writers block, but failed to make into a full song.

You know, it's funny, I already knew the title, way before posting and really didn't have to think about it, so yea, I think it's appropriate :) (I always think of a title when uploading, so this is new to me)

I made a very nice sheet, so you'd better check it out! (a)

thanks a lot!

Dubstep + Classical...

...equals awesome :D

I actually mixed dubstep and classical music together a few months ago (the song is "Purgatory" if you wanna check it out), but you did a MUCH better job than I did :P

I'm really loving the super deep sub bass. The intro was beautiful as well :)

Great job man. Fav'd :D

dj-Nate responds:

You're the first person to mention the sub bass, thank you for that. I spent forever getting the sub bass and kick drum at the right frequencies to sound crisp with no muddied up sounds.

[Hands Up Motherfucker]

Dude...

I hate rap...but this...I don't even know...its so ridiculous its sexy...yeah...I just jizzed...

Loved it! It got me really pumped! I really wanna go punch someone right now! :D

The melody is simple but effective and very catchy. The lyrics are aggressive, awesome and downright hilarious. And that cowbell is HAWT. The only thing that you could do to make this song more enjoyable is if you posted the lyrics :D

5/5 and added you as a favorite artist. Keep this up, man!

[[Fiji_&_RNG] Infused]

Cool!

Really like this one. Its simple but catchy. The bass on the kick is absolutely fantastic. The mastering is really nice, too.

Keep up the good work, guys. Really nice collab :)

[==(Shadow People)==]

Woooooooooooooooow...

This...I don't even know. It's really weird. It's really avant-garde compared to what I usually like to listen to, but I really enjoy this...like really REALLY enjoy this.

I was able to imagine silhouettes of people walking through a city while it's poring rain, so you definitely caught the idea of "shadow people" in this song :D

The variation of time signatures was AWESOME. It really helped create the image of the "shadow people." I've only been able to incorporate 1 time change in my music so far and that was from 6/8 to 4/4. And you were able to use 9/8, 4/4, 6/8, AND 10/8 in one song? Crazy shit dude x_x

I'd have to say that my favorite part was the 4/4 section. Really loved that guitar in there :D And that reverse effect that you had on the pluck sound at 2:48 was cool and totally unexpected.

So yeah. This song is amazing and you're a musical genius. I just felt like I had to return the favor since you reviewed a couple of my songs a while back. I'm glad that I did, too. I found another awesome artist to add to my favorites list :D

Oh...and one more thing. How many of the instruments do you play yourself? I was just curious :P

Keep on producing dude. You got a real talent for this!

[TkJ - Cosmover]

Amazing...

While listening to this, I was able to experience the greatest feeling I've ever felt. I can't even explain it. So...wonderful...

This is truly a magical song.

Brilliant work. I do hope that you continue to make more ambient songs such as this one. :)

[NGADM Round 1 {Dj-Abbic}]

Cool!

I'll be honest. At first, I thought "I easily got the 1st round. No problem." After listening to this, I'm now thinking "Uh-oh...maybe not..."

I can tell that you really stepped it up for the NGADM. You seem to have better mixing skills than me so I think you have me beat in that category. I'm gonna have to step it up if I want to feel safe about my entry :P

A few things about the song though. I think that the kick needs a tiny bit more "umph" to it. Also, the last 2 minutes are a bit repetitive. Maybe add some trance-y chords in there or something.

Other than that, I really enjoyed the song. The beat was really catchy as well as the melodies. It also had a nice flow to it.

Best of luck to you in the 1st round! :D

DjAbbic responds:

Ooh. Now lets see what I've got here ;)

YES. I totally stepped it up for the NGADM. I worked non-stop on this for like 4 days (school hols) because I just have free time ^^.

The kick, well, a few people have commented on that, so maybe I'll layer another kick on top of it. The last 2 minutes were even more repetitive before I completely reconstructed the song (got rid of everything and started all over again with only the different patterns). It did not get a pitch change before, so yeah. You could barely imagine that eh? :P.

Thanks for the review and best of luck to you too mate :)
