The-Great-One's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Battle of Supremacy]

Crazy Awesome

The strings in the beginning made me feel that we were going to get quite an awesome song. The addition of the electronica music kind of puts an uneasy feeling with it, but at the same time makes it even more awesome. I say you did a bang up job on this song.

[Super Mario Castle: The Return]

Astonishing!

This is just amazing! Everything just goes so well. The violins, chorus, and drums. The drums do it in my mind. I can't wait to hear more from you. One in particular being The Temple of Time from Ocarina of Time.

Veneox responds:

Thanks ;). I was thinking about doing a Zelda medley, using mostly songs from Ocarina of time.

[Hall Of Heroes]

Honoring The Greatest of Them All!

This song just fits going down a hall of bravery, genius, and artistic. The Knights, the Painters, the former peaseants turned into Kings and Queens if only for a day. A famous quotation of each one's stature represents their shining achievements.

I certainly did enjoy this song and I am surprised that I have not heard more music from you. Keep up the good work!

SeriousAdam responds:

thats a mill! those are some motivating words! thanks

[The Love of Marion]

Magnificent

Your music and Hania's voice are a match made in heaven. A perfect fit. I would love to see your music crossover with other artists of Newgrounds in the future.

I may not know what the lyrics mean, but they sound captivating and quite soothing. A wonderful piece by you and Hania good sir.

Bosa responds:

Why thank you. You know, you've been a great help to me - as your stories and reviews inspire me to make more. I love to see what your imagination is capable of, and I can assure you that I will continue my work with a positive attitude.

[The Story of One Man]

A Story Was Told Here Today

I'm sure every person could find something in this song that tells a story of one person. I think adding vocals to this would actually destroy the song. The strings, bass, and piano... it all combined so well together.

It tells the story of a man on top of the world who comes down to either sorrow of defeat or sorrow of not knowing his greater purpose in the world. As he walks the streets in the rain with only his memories, but what do these memories mean?

I really enjoyed this piece and would certainly love to see more from you in the future.

Relaxing No... Tense, Indeed

I really do love this song. It sets up such a tense moment beautifully. Like a creepy moment or dramatic note as one finds out the truth, or the stepping stone taken to the moment of truth.

Overall wonderful job.

[The Icy Lands]

Beautiful

I can just picture a land of snow and ice before my mind. It really conjurs up memories of those ice themed levels from video games past. From Yoshi's Island to Crash Bandicoot 2. I can just picture a beautiful world coated in a blanket of wonder. The only complaint I have is it doesn't loop well... and being a loop I think it should do that.

ForbiddenMemory responds:

Thank you for your opinion.

I've re-edited "The Icy Lands", listen to it now, if you'd like to hear the changes.

[Wishful Utopia]

A Stunning Masterpiece

I hardly ever vote 5 on songs in the Audio Portal unless they truly deserve it. I actually sat back, closed my eyes, and was taken to worlds of wonder beneath my imagination. It was a moment of inner peace. Thank you for giving this to me.

I pray you not change nor try to improve upon this piece of music for it is impossible to do so.

[Our Invaders - Hania]

I Love This So Much

Listening to all three songs in order starting with Silver Memory it truly is quite interesting. I would love to see you and James take these songs and make a flash series out of them.

As for the song it really is interesting and the lyrics are absolutely wonderful. The music is just captivating and hits every note and vocal with perfect timing. This is a song that could be a Heavy Metal song, but I much prefer a Classical take.

[Rain to Remember]

Rain is Soothing...

Ah, this just takes me away, to a nice somber cloudy day filled with rain clouds. Raining rain drops down upon the pavement outside my window. It fills me with inspiration and more so than none.

A beautiful piece from beginning to end. I truly do wish to see what you could do within 12 hours, heck even 6 hours would be a spectacle to see. A wonderful piece and I thank you for letting us hear it.

DeForestB responds:

Thank you for a review from one of newground's "officials" :D

I think I'll post more music, even though I'm in the process of a music deal right now... :]
