NeoAlchemist247's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Space Thoughts]

Niiiiice. I want to put backwards lyrics on this, for some reason. Maybe because I don’t speak the language of the intro, so it sounded backwards to me.

At any rate, this is gorgeous. Ends kind of suddenly, though. That’s my only gripe.

EDIT: I used backwards lyrics in my song LoFi Nightmare. If you like how that sounds and would like me to give it a shot, shoot me a message. It’s a concept I’ve been toying with a bit behind the scenes.

[Abacus]

Congrats on being UOTD! That’s actually how I found you, haha. But yeah, I’m digging these beats. What audio tools do you use?

Czyszy responds:

I use FL Studio 12 and Reaper 6 with lots of vst's free and paid plus custom made drum sounds. Also, I sometimes play the guitar and bass.

[Mākslīgais Mēness]

Got a very chill 70’s beach-home-for-a-secret-agent vibe.

Also, I had a stroke trying to read the title.

[the stuff of my recent dreams]

Last night I dreamed a dream that was a nightmare. Or perhaps a glimpse into a future that could have been. My home was stolen in the dead of winter, and I wasn’t allowed to even take my shoes. I’m not sure why it was so, but the feeling of dread was intense. I awoke in a cold sweat, less of a man than when I had laid down.

Sometimes life is just so hard, so disparate. But we hold onto hope in spite of the odds.

Great song.

[no slapstick, just sleuthing]

Fortune cookies are clues for sleuthing your destiny.

[the weight of one's destiny]

Will I ever fulfill my destiny?

*shakes magic eight ball*

“Try again later”

Figures.

[MDK & meganeko - Supercharge]

Wow! What a headbanger. I hope I can be as good as this one day. That’s incredible. Those vox samples are killer. The melody is wild and hype. What’s not to love about this?

[Skylight]

Holy son-of-a-wow. I love it. I love it so much.

I came here looking for Abyss- I’m sad that this was all I found, but I’m shocked that this is every bit as beautiful and well-organized as Abyss.

Just... Wow... You are not alone, friend.

I scouted you as well. More people need to hear this kind of stuff. It’s all so... real. Genuine. From the soul.

Kay, done gushing now. Hope you have a good day!

StR-Lite responds:

Oh wow, thank you for the compliment! ;A;
I was planning to upload Abyss eventually, but hopefully once I'm not as busy with schoolwork and whatnot. Thank you once again!

[#46 - Flash Forward Jam (ft. Tom Fulp)]

:O

I have never heard Tom Fulp’s voice despite being a user of Newgrounds since 2004.

Hi Tom! :D

Having done some stuff like this before on my livestream, I absolutely want you guys to know that I empathize. It can be really rough to find that conversational flow, especially in a live and un-cut environment. It’s almost like the pressure of knowing that extends the awkward silences a bit. I think it could’ve been much worse. Also, I applaud you for responding to the honest-yet-rough reviews.

That said, I don’t think this was all bad. In the next episode I heard the one guy saying “it’s worth 1.5 stars at best” in reference to this episode, and I think that’s unfair. I really enjoyed the insights and viewpoints that I wouldn’t have otherwise known. Honestly this whole “Flash go bye-bye” thing is a shocker to me- not being a programmer and having played so many Flash games. It was jarring in the way that it would be if I typed Google into my address bar and discovered the whole website was gone.

Keep doing what you guys do!

[yatse ya!]

Holy... wow. Strong language felt inappropriate in describing this. But wow, nonetheless. This is an arrangement that conveys that building climax towards the resurrection very well. The volumes and production are on point and the arrangement is nothing short of divine, pardon the pun.

All of that said: struck me most is how much like an Enya song this felt. And boy, do I ever love Enya. My father used to work as a techie in theatres- sometimes I’d help him out- this is related, I swear. The theatres were quite large and always empty, but that meant we could use the stages and sound systems sometimes. He’d put on the spotlight and let me belt out my favorite Green Day and Linkin Park songs into the microphone to cheap karaoke backing tracks that we ripped from YouTube- I got to feel like an actual star in those days.

Well, one particular afternoon he had me up in the catwalk checking the lights. While I was working, he put on Enya’s Orinoco Flow (also known as Sail Away) and it just... I was taken away by it. It was the first time I’d ever heard her music, and I fell in love instantly.

Well anyways- this song here has that same sort of power to it. The notes and the tone all just blend beautifully in a way that I’m struggling to describe in words. Basically, I love this. I’d love to hear more like this.
