Takoon's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[SMRPG: Valentina's theme]

I loved that part of the game.

I love Valentina's music during that part of the game! A lot of times I would just sit and listen to it! And now I can. ^ ~ I also love that you made this even more aggressive than the game. It adds a lot more depth to have the harpsichord played that hard.

I couldn't have asked for more. ^ ^ Great job.

Chao-Guy responds:

Thanks! I tried to make a bit deeper, but to be honest, it's just an update really. :/
Thanks for the review!

Keep it up!!

[Twinrova OOT Dance Remix]

I need to dance now. Excuse me.

Wow, this made me start dancing within the first few seconds! Nice job. ^ ^ I was always kind of annoyed with that boss battle, but there was something I always liked about it (besides the music).

Everything is very precise in this song, and the percussion is so very sharp. It's very haunting, but still aggressive. I was thrown off by the 'UH' voice in the middle, but that doesn't stop me from liking it.

Darkerfire responds:

yeah was kinda random dunno why i did that lol

[[SD] SMRPG - Seaside Ballad]

I want to go to the beach

-^ ^- I love how you redid this. I love that you kept adding percussion as the song went on. Especially the tambourine. That was a perfect additive. I personally love this song. Not as much as other songs maybe, but only because it always reminds me of a bunch of creepy cronies running around, and the horrid boss battle. *lol*

Beautiful job with this! SMRPG is my favorite game.

SupraDarky responds:

Creepy cronies haha! :P And yeah that boss battle was painful the first time I played this game.
Thanks Takoon. :)

[Mario Goes Swimming [FJ08]]

Back, forth, back, forth...

Wow, I inadvertently started to sway back and forth in my chair. ^ ^;; How weird.

This definitely feels like being at a carnival, but not a creepy one. Like a really high-class one that you can be truly happy and have cotton candy all day without getting sick. *lol* I also love how you expanded the chord structure a little. ^ ^ Nice job.

funkyjunky responds:

What is i with carnivals?
Ha glad you enjoyed it :)

[_-~Nimbus land~-_]

Like cotton candy that you can live on...

-^ ^- This makes me really happy. I love Nimbus Land so much in SMRPG, and sometimes as a kid I would just run around there to listen to the music. *lol*

This is a beautiful remix of it! I don't think I could ask for more! In a remake of the game, this song would be perfect. It's rich and deep with color, and there's so much going, but it still sounds simple enough to enjoy. I think you even elaborated some of the chords at around 1-minute than the game music did. ^ ^ So beautiful.

Keep up the good work!

seel responds:

Thanks for the awesome review!

[Chai Kingdom(super Mario Land)]

1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2...

Hey, this is really good. ^ ^ I love the drums in the background just pounding away like a march. It doesn't make me want to dance so much as just walk for a long time. *lol*

The only thing that could have been better is a climax...there really wasn't one, but for this kind of song it doesn't even really need it. Maybe near the end give it a little more depth with some deeper drums though.

Great job!

Sorrow-316 responds:

Yes, the Drums are the back Bone of the Song, Lol Alright ill Take that into Mind.

[SSBB- Stage Builder (piano)]

Aw...

This is really beautiful. It's definitely the stage building song, but it's definitely more calming. The loops really great, but the end could have been shaved off a second, or a little less. Other than that I couldn't tell it looped. ^ ^ Great job with this.

JonBro responds:

Cool.

[Over The Rainbow]

Nice. ^ ^

I agree about the breath, but the rest was really fantastic. ^ ^ The tone was beautiful, and it kind of reminded me of something...besides the obvious. ^ ~ Hm, I'm thinking something from Ouran High School Host Club? But that wouldn't make sense. *shrugs*

Oh well, either way, great job. ^ ^

TheIronGiant responds:

thank you, im really glad you liked it, especially the tone, which is something im always working to improve.
thanks again!

[Thracian-Jazz]

Very nice. ^ ^ Keep it up.

Wow, really interesting. I agree with the last guy too, in that it was kind of misleading, but came back to a real sound. I really like the harmonies right in the middle, too. That kind of made my heart melt. ^ ^

The only thing I would change it to shave off a few seconds right at the beginning so it's not such a long wait.

sorohanro responds:

he he , you should have more patience ... the begining sets the groove, wich is not a very common jazz one :p
thanx for reviewing my stuff, glad you liked it

[Crazy Voice Trumpet Solo]

Haha. It's a "trumpet."

Oh wow, nice work. I love that you just used your voice for the background and solo part. I agree with others that said it would have been great if you just used your voice for the choir voices too. Then it would be a little less ethereal and a little more minimalistic, you know?

Fantastic job with this. It kind of blows my mind.

sorohanro responds:

well, being apreciate by a classical singer ... that's something
thanx
i have also classical music studies, i am a trumpet player, that's why i made "trumpet" because is something i know how is supossed to sound ... as for the "ethereal" sampled voices ... well, those are better than mine (i really don't like my voice)

playng on instruments helps you to think in a "instrument player" way also when you sing ...
thanx for review
