JayWEccent's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Star Trek Deep Space Nine]

A little off but I think you made it your own here and it's very good.

AndrewRG responds:

Thank you very much; I'm glad you enjoyed it. However, I highly recommend you check out my revamped version of this using completely different software. It is a thousand times better:

[Jumbo Jungle]

This is pretty good but not as good as what you have put out in the past. I guess because your only given so much. At the same time it's still good because it sounds good in a different way, just not my cup of tea but it still sounds good. What I really like about this track, though is that you took what they gave you (percussion) and made it fuse well as you always do. Again, not my cop of tea so that may be where Im coming from when I say pretty good but not your best. Your awesome no matter what you do in my opinion.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Oh yeah, no worries about me taking it hard, because you're right. This is a rushed work in general, in a genre I'm not too good at :p
It's really too short to be interesting without being a loop too. Obviously, I didn't put even 20% of the effort into this track as I did in examplewise NGADM.

But I am working on a track right now that I think will be pretty cool. If it'll fit, you can use it in BRUCE when it's done. Sorry it's taking time, but I'm working on getting some interesting chords and melodies into it, as it's a mostly piano composition after all. I'm hoping I'll be done sometime on Sunday, but I have a friend's birthday party to celebrate all day tomorrow, so we'll see. I think it's worth looking forward to as a track though. It's currently mystery/horror/tension but maybe a bit too moving and might have a slightly odd feel for BRUCE. We'll see :)

I'll respond to your message when I'm done! Thanks for leaving yet another review, dude. Your covers lately have been awesome, and your voice acting in the remake of Ghost Motel was spectacular!!! Keep it up :)

[If I Were a Bird (Cover)]

A very lovely cover indeed! Tears me up, makes me feel like im flying, lol im not sure if that makes any since. I guess the best I can explain is that it makes me feel light as a feather. It is very sad but uplifting too and relaxing. I could fall asleep to this and not in a bad, boorish way either. More because it's just that peaceful and relaxing.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks a lot, Jay :3
This was actually recorded a few days ago, I just forgot to upload it earlier :p
I cried some real tears in he point of Code Geass when this was played to its full extent, because of the contrast between the piece, and what was happening in the series (no poilers). Your thoughts definitely make sense to me. Both about flying, and about this piece being both beautiful and a bit sad at the same time.

I'll try to make a track tonight for the competition I was talking about, and sometime in the beginning of this week, I'll get that other creepy track done; I already have a good and solid plan, I feel.

[BRUCE: The Chase]

This was a great listen for me and like you said, retro. I loved the classic feel and of course it isn't your traditional chase scene but my thought process is that we are coming to an end and of course I won't spoil it here but you know of the end title musical score and how it sounds, lol so I think it should be good because we are winding down so to speak and the music/short in general is beginning to change. Again, good work as always :)

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks man! I'm glad most of all that you like it :)
Yeah, I do get that. I'm sure it'll work just fine XD
I do love both blends of, and changes in atmosphere. It'll be really interesting to see how well this, and the rest of my music will fit the procject. I have high hopes :D

[Forest of Dreams]

This beautiful piece reminds me of a friend here on Newgrounds who I am dedicating a project to because of something personal. He is a very talented musician by the name of Dem0lecule. This made me tear up. Thank you so much for putting this up and reminding me of his talent. It truly is a lovely work of art.

Grandvision responds:

Aww, no thank you for taking a listen. I am an avid listener of dem0lecule's work and he's grown quite far since his early days, funny thing is I was probably one of the big inspirations for him back in the day. Especially my track "A Ship to the North" :) Glad to be part of the audio community and inspire, and be inspired by all the talent that is here.

[Alien {Trailer}]

Classic. I love it so much :)

Phonometrologist responds:

Thank you for that warm sentiment :)

[Stand By]

Im in a smokey 1940's bar. A long, tall girl in red saunters in as I drink my last shot for the night. "Whats a classy dame like you doing in a place like this?" I ask as she sits beside me. "Im in trouble and I need your help, detective." This somber piece has this kind of tone and reminds me of a classic, noir type. Thanks for bringing me there again, Lucid.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

You definitely made my day with these nice reviews :3
Also, that's a really cool interpretation of the piece! I can definitely see it working in that setting. Good imagination you have there ;)
Thank you, for all the nice words and for listening to my tracks :D

[Fever Dream]

I don't know why this reminds me of the first time I met my wife before we married. When she entered the room it was like seeing an angel for the first time in my life. I was on the verge of suicide and I had none to fall in love with and she came in. Again, why this brought the memory to me, I don't know. Maybe because it just seems so distant and lovely. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful piece.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Heh, I love how I said I really enjoy reading your reviews, and you immediately respond by giving me three new wonderful ones. Thanks you!

I'm really glad you stuck around dude! And that you found yourself a wonderful wife. Music, I feel, can help us dive into our own emotions, so I am not at all surprised that this track could bring the memory to you. It makes me truly happy to hear you enjoy this piece :D

[Allhelgona]

Davy Jones meets Edward Scissorhands. Beautiful, sad, haunting and imaginative. The loop is perfect and as it goes on it doesn't seem repetitive in the least. In fact you don't know when it's going to end and it's just so perfect.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

That is actually a great comparison o.O
I love the soundtrack from Edward Scissorhands :D Thanks for comparing me to some of the greats :3

You know, I checked out some of your voice acting, and man, you're amazing!!! I mean, you're really really good :O
If someone ever asks me about finding a good voice actor, I know who I'll recommend ;)
If I ever start making stuff requiring voice acting other than my own, I'll definitly turn to you :p
(Sorry to say, I probably won't need voice acting, as I mainly make music, but we never know; maybe some creepy story read by a good voice with a creepy track as a background sometime).

Either way, I hope you'll have luck in this deparment in the future, as you definitely deserve it!

[Spooky Night]

This has almost a Silent Hill classic feel to it, I love it. Of course I keep seeing a repetitiveness in your style but it works in some places and you have made this your stylistic signature.

Freebix responds:

I'm trying to stay away with the repetitive nature. Thank you for the compliment@silent hill vibe :) lol
