LunyAlex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Step Higher]

Somewhat dark and pretty hard hitting. Enjoy the progression and rhythm. Great stuff!

[Candid Candy]

I really enjoyed this.

It's as if Mozart and Danny Elfman became best friends after meeting at a party one night.
Solemn and classical with a few wacky grins in between.

(As constructive criticism: I think the slightly mysterious vibe begs for a bit of Hall reverb. Would go a far way atmospherically IMO. )

5/5 - Would use in scene where The Duke's daughter dances with her groom-to-be for the first time (planned wedding), as she stares into his slightly insane gaze, discovering he's not the boring fat cat she imagined.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks a lot LunyAlex!

I've got to love your reviews, as they are so unlike any other reviews I get XD
You're definitely right in that I should've added hall reverb to this. It's just that my laziness got in the way of such things. This is a recording from early 2013, and as I'm currently doing military service (unwillingly due to conscription laws D:), I'm uploading old pieces instead of new ones :p
That's a weak defence though :3

I like that scenario you painted in my mind too :')

[Sorcerers Path - The Forest]

This is strikingly beautiful! Deeply atmospheric and very active, melodically.

And with impeccable production to top it off.

5/5 - Hobbits would be sleeping to this if I were Peter Jackson

SoundChris responds:

Thank you very much! I think the loop stil does not work perfectly but i will fix that soon. Right now i have to compose a few more pieces for the Sorcerers Path to get it ready for PAX.
Working for a tolkin movie would be ultra awesome - even this will never happen :D
Thanks for leaving your thoughts here.

All the best,
Chris

[Last Confrontation]

Love the atmosphere in this. Love the use of effects and different textures. It's a pretty heavy song, in terms of emotion.

Chemiqals responds:

Thanks, glad you liked it! =)

[LL (Old) - Host Victim (2014]

Great music and vocals work beautifully together. Very well produced. Intimidating as hell, too!

Lich responds:

I simply can't have this style of track without vocals haha, I've grown too used to doing it now ;3
Thanks for the review and good luck with your entry!

[[Aether] - DHMR]

Splendid production and a damn groovy tune.

[Duel of two robots]

Love the production on this. Dark and punchy. Dramatic and action packed.

5/5 would watch Transformers dish out punches to this.

DESHIEL responds:

Thank you for your kind words Luny. :) I'm sure that your entry will be even better ;)

[Traitor]

2:37 is one of the heaviest passages I've heard in recent memory. This is outstanding.

[This Means Death]

HOOOOOOOOLY SHHHHHHYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Ahem.

This is an extremely strong metal sound you have here. I'm very jealous. (What'syoursecret?)

Guitar tone is divine. Drums punch very hard, yet still retain a clean neatness.

Constructive criticism time: Personally I'd add a bit more rumble to the bass. Like in the very low
< 120hz area. Check out Heart of a Coward's "Severance" for reference (best metal bass I know).

Still, this is marvelous as is.
Your playing is tighter than a *censored*...

But your composition trumps it all. Phenomenally written piece.

5/5 - Snatched and added to daily playlist.

P.S.
You don't list a bass guitar under stuff used. Are you using a midi vst for that?

CoredxBitch responds:

wow! thanks for detailed review!
yes, bass is a weak point. I use SR5 in NI Kontakt tru MarkBass VST amp. filling some space in lows, but no dynamics and response like a real bass have. (sorry for my crap english)
thanks again for such a kind words!

[The Sad Clown]

Hahaha, this is fantastic. Very refreshing piece of music. The squeaks and honks add a lot to it.

5/5 - would use during scene where Bozo depressingly contemplates life.
