slappmedoo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Yun - Minutehand]

Wow

I can't believe this song hasn't gotten more recognition. I love the turntables. Too often, songs incorporating them go overboard with it and end up spoiling the feel. Here, they pick up the beat without changing the mindset of the song. Also, the samples at the beginning are a perfect way to set things in motion. The ambient radio static is the cherry on top. 5/5 10/10

[-[Rising Out]-]

Not too bad

Catchy melody, and I really like the change-up around 1:55. But, I feel like it doesn't pack enough of a punch. Even if you're going for a lighter feel, I think you need some lower frequency instrumentation. Particularly the kick. It's obviously there, but it's not "thumping" like it should. Overall though, great job on this one. 4/5, 7/10

Thanks for the review, I can't believe I used to make music like this and called it trance :P. I agree with you on pretty much everything there but I have learned a lot since I made this song.

o.O

Yo dawg, yo be hittin dem phatt beetz mad liek yo do, yo.

But seriously, I know it's old and your style has matured quite a bit. Still, the fact that your dated stuff is of this caliber speaks volumes about your musicianship. Bravo. 5/5 10/10

Omg this song is so crazy I haven't listened to it in forever, I know I could not make this again if I tried :D.

[{Daydream}]

Ahhh.......

I feel my troubles melting away into sunshine. It has a delicious blend of the instruments you usually incorporate in your hardcore trance songs. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that means you have mastered your craft. Congratulations, you just made my day.

[{Flying Away}]

Brilliant

This is one of the most beautiful pieces I've heard on Newgrounds. The layers, the tempo changes, the piano, it all comes together so perfectly. This is an absolute masterpiece. 10/10 easy

[{Lazy Summer Days}]

I just noticed

You have more downloads than listens on this song. Always love your unique mixtures of sounds. They come together in such a nice way every single time.

[Brain Thunder]

Wow

Kinda makes my head spin, but in a good way. Very weird, almost hypnotic. The only criticism I have is that it's just a little repetitive at times. The parts are cool, but they're pretty high, so I'd be careful about playing them too much. Other than that, it's wicked.

[Poo!!]

Why would someone zero-bomb it?

It's not bad at all. Good intro, heavy beat, cool string part underneath. I'll pop your 7 cherry.

people zero-bomb because they fly the Mitsubishi A6M Zero. And then they drop bombs...

zero-bomb.

[(//_-,) Tales of Dreams]

Wow

Very nice. I like the layering of the vibraphone and the piano. Makes for a great melody.

["Elliptical"- DJ RedMoon]

That's more like it!

I was listening to the Midnight Sun remix and was thinking, "Okay...what else is there?" Clicked on this song and fell in love. Very musical and has a nice tempo to it. 10/10
