Karco's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[|JZ|- Space Journey]

You really should finish it. =D

I can see you coming in with a quiet introduction and eventually building up to this. It has a really nice sci-fi feel to it, too. =D Please PM me if you submit a finished version - I'll review it ASAP. =)

Ah, why don't you go check out my songs as well? Try my latest two or three, I'd appreciate it if you reviewed one. =D

Jiao-Zhang responds:

Sure! glad you like it.. but i'll review your songs later today, promise. Thanks again!

[-={CC}=- Pushing Beyond]

Yeah, I can see why.

I haven't heard of anything like it - your combination of melodies, harmonies, and the synths/sounds/percussion that you chose for this song make it very, very unique. I haven't heard very much like it.

Overall, I can see that you put a lot of effort into this one. You've done a fairly good job with this one. You've got my 5. =)

Last thing to say - why don't you stop by my audio sometime and review either or, preferably, both of my latest two songs? I'd appreciate it. =)

Critical-Collision responds:

Thank you for your review Karco we're glad yo ulike the piece and thank you for you 5 too

[_-={These Angels of War}=]

Well...

This is my first time reviewing a classical song, but I'll try. =)

For one, the title's appropriate - this song gives me an awestruck feeling. It gives me the image of two forces at war marching towards each other, one of which is dwarfed by the opposition - and aware of it. When they meet, the opposition goes right through them, striking only those who attempt to stop them, and then move right on to conquer the city they were trying to protect. They watch the opposition, now too far away to reach, enter the city. The image ends there - what do you think?

As far as criticism goes, I don't have much to suggest - I do agree with the previous reviewers your percussion was a bit repetitive, but that's it. Nicely composed overall.

One more thing - any chance you can review my latest submission? It's an all-piano piece titled Apology which I've just submitted today. I'd really appreciate the opinion of a more experienced composer. =)

MaestroRage responds:

Interesting, to conquer the city they were trying to protect eh? I found that sentence very interesting, for not in any way did I imagine any form of betrayel in this piece. I am curious as to how you came to that image, and in truth it is one that strikes me odd. Don't take that offensively I don't mean any insult, it was just an observation.

I will drop by your page after this review.

Thank you for the review Karco, i'm glad you liked it ^^.

=D

It makes my day every time a favorite artist of mine submits. =) Love the intro, and you were pretty smart with the percussion there, too. It just went quiet on me now - yeah, it IS beautiful! Hah. I've never heard the original, though I can see you made a good choice in remixing this - woah, it just went into the full-blown melody now. Love it! =D

The one downside is that you had no ending, and while I can understand that this is a loop, it kinda gets on my nerves having a professional-sounding 3 minute song that ends so abruptly. Making an actual ending or a full song would be nice. =)

ZeRo-BaSs responds:

ey karco!
Ty for your awesome review!
Mmmm..i think one day i will upload the full version :)

[{A Change of Seasons}]

Love it! =D

I've been waiting for another trance song - can't get enough of those! It seems a bit messy in the beginning, but that's ok.

It's especially great when you head into the part with the kick and the hihat... gah, you need to make these more often. =)

Has anyone you know ever described a song of yours with the word, "shiny?" XD I do it all the time - most of your latest songs are just like that.

Hey, if you don't mind, (I asked this in your review for your James Bond Breakbeat Remix) any chance you can visit my audio page and review my songs? While I'm especially proud of Project -Aster-, Dark Storms at Sea hasn't had one in a while. It'd definitely make my day. =)

cornandbeans responds:

hahaha yea like i mentioned there's like 6-7 instruments playing at the beginning. :P I thought they panned in an out pretty well, but after listening to something 20+ times to get it right, I tend to lose the feel for it. :S ah oh well.

I'll get around to reviewing you, I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget. :P

Thanks for the review!

[Draze - Bass It Up [V2]]

It definitely has been too long. :)

Your songs are just too good. =D Bass It Up is one of my favorites, let's see what you did to it.

Huh, it seems that, for the most part you just changed most of the sounds. Sure, they sound really, really awesome, there's no denying that, but I don't see very much effort put into this.

Ahh, now I'm seeing changes. This is really, really good. I can see myself listening to this daily for at least a week or two. Great stuff. Yeah, it has been too long - hopefully we won't have to wait a wait like that again.

Hey, while I'm at it, why don't I ask you to review my songs? (Especially my three most recent.) It would definitely make my day, as I'm always for reviews from more experienced artists. Thanks a lot, and great song. =D

Draze responds:

Yeah the changes are more at the end hehe. I'll review ya stuff now, i used to find it hard returning all my reviews on a dial up, but thats no longer the case ;)

Thanks for the review man,
Draze

[Chilled and Mellowed]

First submission? First review. :)

Hah. Either someone's going to beat me to it while I'm typing, or I'm going to end up giving you your first review. :) Let's look at your song.

Your song's a bit bland, boring, etc. Your melody's a big part in that - if you want to fix it, either make it longer or change the entire style of the song. I'd suggest the former.

You try to keep the drum patterns new throughout the song, and it works - the problem is that you didn't put very much time into them, so fresh as they are, they're still boring.

Then there's that it doesn't have an ending. Personally, songs that don't have an ending don't cut it for me - work on that, too.

Still, given that this is the first thing you've made, it's pretty good, so keep practicing. :)

Ah, while I'm at it - why don't I suggest you review my songs if you have the time? I'd appreciate it. :)

Y3K1989 responds:

well, thanks, yea it does have an ending, but the newgrounds audio bot cut half of it off for some reason :S

[Connecting Deep]

No, it's not typical. :)

This is good stuff. I like your melodies and harmonies. There's not much percussion, but that's a good thing seeing as that this is very slow for a Techno song.

I don't have very much to suggest for this song - overall, I'm very satisfied with it. It could be improved, but I'm assuming that's because of your skill level, not because of effort. (Which is basically assuming the best.) And then, not by very much. More songs like this are a good idea once you get better at this. :)

Hey, I've just submitted a song too - why don't you review it? I'd also appreciate a review for Dark Storms at Sea or Project -Aster-. Thanks. :)

caffeinerush responds:

Much thanks for the good review Karco. Will take a look at your stuff.

[*Burnin' Love* // ZeRo BaSs]

Gah! Took me by surprise again. =D

In most of your recent songs, you have a buildup and then the melody which kicks off with a vocal of some kind. It's a style I can't get enough of every time - it's great to see - pardon, hear - a new song of yours.

This is an amazing song - the melody is amazing and I didn't even notice your percussion under it. Hold on, let me go through the song again. XD Yeah, that's some really good percussion you've got going there.

My only problem with this song was that it was too short... waaay too short. Otherwise, however, you did a perfect job on this one. =D Love that style of yours. =P

Ah, and while I'm at it, I'd really enjoy a review from one of my favorite artists. Any chance you could review my audio (especially my two most recent) sometime? I'd definitely appreciate it. =)

ZeRo-BaSs responds:

eyy Karco!
yes the percussions of this song are extremely complex..as you can hear they are a mix of Drums and 2 heavy Sub-bass

Thanks for the review!
