The-Great-One's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[For Love]

The Mystic Night

Not a cloud in the sky above. Just the moon and the stars. These two sit side by side who love one another but fear that the other doesn't. Their eyes lock and not knowing what they kiss. A mystic feeling of anything but the ordinary. Love... something so strong that no one can break it... if it is true love no one can break it.

This song is great, and I would like to say I only write stories in my reviews to MaestroRage's music, but something overcame me and told me to write this. You have created yet another beautiful audio. I am happy to say that I am one of your fans now. I also need to say that I understand a lot after listening to this audio... it isn't you who should thank me for this review and my vote, it is I who should thank you for helping me realize why I couldn't sleep for many nights. Thank You. Superb work on this audio indeed... only hope and prayer can keep you going. Share your gifts with the world.

Thanks i really appreciate it. Newgrounds needs more people like you.

[Bored Of Waiting]

I Know What You Mean

This audio loop fits such a situation perfectly... boring, bland, nothingness, while inside the store your friend is having the time of their life. But remember you will soon come across a store you love and they hate so they have to wait. This audio was boring and did have a funny sound to it, which is what it is supposed to be. Great job and keep up the good work.

Dark-Frando responds:

I actually found this song playing in my head whilst waiting for a newgrounds movie to load up. Man, I've cursed myself -_-;

Thanks for reviewing!

[Dance of Dreams (Improv Piano)]

It's Superbly Perfect

I see visions dance around in my head that twist and bend within my mind. I like this piece I really do. Your improvisation with the title choice match perfectly. For no one man or woman knows where a dream will go next and that is what makes this audio perfect in every single way. There is nothing left out and nothing that needs adding. I suggest though you don't overdo improvisation when submitting audio here though... you'll end up killing what good you got from this if you do. I suggest you record an improvisation and listen to it to see what you can add and take out. Other than that great job on this audio. I really enjoyed listening to it... it gave me a sense of peace amongst myself.

DPK4 responds:

This is quite perhaps, the best response I have ever gotten from anyone about my works, after submitting to several places, you have by far given the best review I could ever receive for this track. I appreciate the kind words and criticism you've given for my pieces. I will definitely take a look into making another improvisation and then rework it from there. But as you said, I don't believe I could ever change this piece. It would feel... wrong... no matter how much cleaner it'd sound... Words do not express how much joy it gives me to hear people experiencing my music first hand. I guess I'm not used to it much at all really. ^^; haha!

Thank you again, I'll hold this dear to me as you did to my piece.

Dedication to Friends... A Serene Gift of All

I too do not know of the story you're telling, but I do see the laughter of two minds together. Two souls of the dark who now see the light when they look for it.

I don't know if I can write anything for this, but I sense a friendship in this I really do. It is strong... through mighty and glory it is strong... I do believe it will strengthen through time and as all know only time will tell of those who wish to see the future. Another great audio by you my good sir. Also to LadyArsenic my regards as well.

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you for your kind words TGO. We do often laugh, and the story in question is actually about a studio that we have decided to buy on an island. It will also have a moose living on it somewhere. The moose was not my idea, but she seems to want to ride one before she dies so why not have one on there :D?!

We can only wait like you said, and see what the future holds in store. Until then, what more can we do but continue our work?

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

Astounding Presence of Greatness

I see a young man... he walks down a hall of heroes and legends. He sees the great work that others have created in the past. He sees what they have done and know that someday he shall grace the wall with these valiant ones. A Hall of Fame is not what this is, but a Hall of Greatness... a hall of men and women who are not mere mortals.

This piece is greatness in itself and could be used for a lot of things... I see somewhat of a celtic feel to it, I can see why this is your favorite piece out of many that you've made... it takes you away to a place that you're not sure about, but know when you return you will return with greater knowledge than when you entered.

MaestroRage responds:

A hall of greatness eh? I sometimes wonder, if heroes ever act more aggressively knowing that their actions would one day inspire the youth of tomorrow? I mean consider it, if they are truly going to shape the world for the better, knowing that they will be studied later would they act more nobly then they believe purely to set a better example?

It's a thought which kind of degrades a hero's image, yet if it achieves better results should we care?

Sorry, meaningless rant, but your little snippet got me thinking! Thanks for the review TGO, i'm glad you liked it!

[Out of my League cover]

A song that relates to you...

When you see someone so beautiful... knowing she wouldn't judge one man's appearance for another. You want her more than others and would do anything for her. You would help her more than others, you care for her more than others. I need to be alone with my thoughts now because this song reminds me of so much... of someone I miss. Great Job and keep up the good work, you have a great voice that you need to continue to share with the world.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

Jazza responds:

thank you oh great one lol. jokes

but really i know where you coming from. we nerds are never the lady catchers, its only later in life they realize they should've gone with us. lol jokes. but yeah, i've been in the same state of mind

[Mad World Cover]

...I'm Speechless...

I can't believe I'm about to say this and my review may be deleted for even writing this, but your remake of this song has surpassed the original. I am amazed and speechless to say what I think of this! It's superb without saying a word. Excellent Job!

Jazza responds:

wow, thanks :) !

[KR- Super Mario 64 file select]

I like it but...

I don't know... there's something a bit off about it. I don't know what it is but if you can fix it it would sound a lot better.

knuxrouge responds:

Thanks, but sorry, Trail Version, when I made a new file, that was it.

[Softly I Sing]

Tears from one who bears no pain.

Well... I hope you're happy... this song made me actually cry. Yes cry. How could someone write something so beautiful, how could a voice from a mere mortal pierce the heart of another? You are not human I know this as a fact, but you are not evil either. You must forgive me it is hard for me to type this... in fact its difficult enough. You have the voice of an angel and I only hope that you continue to share your voice with the world.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

I have always said that I'm an alien - and no one believes me.
Thank you for seeing the truth ;)
I'm really glad this song touched you. It makes me a happy girl!
Take care and keep in touch, Great One!

Auras...

You did a fantasic job in categorizing the auras into music! I enjoyed the dark aura very much indeed (being a dark aura myself). Very nicely done, by the master of classical no doubt. Keep up the good work Maestro!

MaestroRage responds:

The dark and rage aura are my favorite segments to make, as they correspond to my style the best I believe :D! Thank you for the kind words and the review TGO, i'm glad you liked it!
