Ramn0's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wrong Side of Me]

Find myself coming back to this from time to time. Really hard to forget melody and synth just come back to haunt me.

Although i have listened to your more recent work and they are of better quality, i still consider this to be one of your more iconic tracks. Really solid work

When i think of you, i think of this. You have cemented yourself into my mind with this and im not complaining :)

JaThu responds:

I'm speechless, thank you for this, really. The one reason that keeps me going is trying to help people through their day by offering a distraction, so this comment really means a lot, even if its an old track, sometimes its the most unexpected things that stick to us xD so, again, thank you a lot.

I'm not posting on this account atm because we started a duo with a friend, you can find us as DocJay here or Dr. J on youtube.

[~SW~ The Yearning]

Truly airy and open. he intro has that amazing sense of discovery, yet somewhat bittersweet undertone. When the bass and drums come in it gives of a sense of endeavour. Like a progression to a final goal. However when the synth flows in at 3:11 it combines both aspects introduced in previous sections: Uncertain, debaiting thoughts within the constant venture towards something. All that builds up to surprisingly cathardic climax at 4:22. The outro is as sweet as the intro, being the end for the current yearning, but leaving room for future adventures and wants.

On technical aspects it is also of quality. Cant bring up anything that bothered me in particular. Maybe some high plucky instruments could've been a little quieter here-or-there, but as it is, it does not damage the experience in the slightest.

Overall a spectacular journey :)

SkyeWint responds:

Oh wow, thank you! That's such a nice review, I'm really thankful. It was so much fun (though a lot of work) to make, too. I hope I can continue with more journeys in the future!

[Iridescence]

Glorious!

Clean highs and strong lows combined with its playful harmonics make the drop and its sounds hit all the right places for me.

Amazing job :D

DrayxMusic responds:

Thank you! <3

[Capricious]

Small and neat.

You may lower the hi-hats, but it is not really a bothering factor. One thing you can do to give it more life is to play around with the velocity of those keys. It sounds a little flat, as if every key is pressed with equal force. Doing so would give it more dynamic and organic feeling.

Otherwise its a pretty fun listen

Tangerine responds:

Oh, thank you for the helpful feedback. Helpful people who give feedback are surprisingly hard to find (excluding you 50steaks). Thank you. I'm just a little scared to add more dynamics because if they're used too much then they may become extremely distracting.

[Black Lives Matter]

Im not in a position to give correct commentary about the message, however i still want to give my thoughts on the composition itself. To put it straight: it feels weak and a little silly at parts. It didnt feel like it handled this particular topic in its seriousness, but rather in a somewhat inappopriate whimsical tone. The whole experience feels light, therefore stripping the whole message from its seriousness.
Although i see the intent in the lyrics, it is light and unremarkable in its execution, representing a serious topic in a seemingly silly way.

I understand what the intention is, but it does not convey this believeably.

ZipZipper responds:

So actually, you do understand the message if you can comprehend a disconnect between the style? The reason I do it in such a way is because the movement itself is the culmination of exhaustion having to convince White people of such a painfully simple message. So, the lighthearted sound is a way to express how eagerly optimistic some of us are to move on, and perhaps also a way to get the really stupid people to internalize the message. Clearly, I've underestimated the moral stupidity of people, because even though they say they don't get it...they're getting confused or mad at this lol

[Marianz - Ending 2k20]

Damn

This is an amazing piece to jump to. Here are some of my highlights:
I absolutely love the beats and rythms at 1:08 and 3:25. Also those bells at 2:17, combined with the bouncing drums give it very appropriate mood.
For me its one of your best tracks i have heard so far.

Wish you the best of 2021 :)

ElMarianz responds:

Thanks bud, i put a lot of effort into this track and it was a very good track after all. And sorry for the time i took to respond, didn't see the comment till now. Happy New year :3

[Wait for Me]

Absolute fucking treat. You have improved your coposition and bass design so drastically within last three or four months.

The mix is amazingly spacious and thick at the same time. The overall atmosphere is fast and intense, yet gentle when it needs to be. Definitely one of my most favourite tracks you have put out in a while.

You are going stronger than ever, and let the inertia carry you further. Dont slow down to wait :D

[FGS]

DrayxMusic responds:

Thanks so much! :D

[The Edge (WIP)]

Master is a bit rough and overcompressed. Besides that, the sound design is satisfyingly heavy and the drop as a whole feels really deep (in a good way).

Looking forward to its release :)

[FGS]

Vortonox responds:

Thank you :)

[Secret Boss - Eternal Chaos]

Hard to forget track, even after 3 years.

Melodically captivating chaos in a powerful composition :D

DreyLand responds:

Wow, already 3 years! I didn't expect to have any comments anymore here, it makes me really happy to read this.

Thanks a lot my friend, you made my day :)

[The Old Tree]

The drums are strong, but the bass is stronger

Catchy and punchy experience from the beginning to the very end.

Great job :D

[FGS]

Froej responds:

thanks :P
