LaymanLove's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[M-Theory 1]

So well put together that Iwownedasmed.

The mastering and sonic pwnage of the many diverse and contrasting parts was done with great prowess. Blah blah blah. You invented a new genre: elctronic acoustica. You took the mixing of those two elements to the next level son. It's like Butter and bread, beer and pong, boobies and football. Hold up, I'm finna hit the pipe real quick...

Fan freeakin tastic on the percussion. It flows like a drummer would...every one of those hat samples are filthy dirty...you should at least brush them off. And you know I love the kick. I envision that kick as a robotic arm on an assembly line that punches down with an "uhn" onto the belt. Everytime it lifts a new hershey's kiss is born.

The extended breakdown at 2:15 is powerful. It keeps the energy of the song yet flows with ambience. I hear so much more with my headphones, haha, that is great. And it cuts so nicely when you close the hats.

So much to this song. I love how it explores every single possibility there is with the parts you have incorporated. I like bass with kick at 4:05 especially. And then at 4:35 fuckin the Admiral returns with a can of "shut the hell up and dance"

AdmiralConquistador responds:

Man, I'm so glad you liked this song evan, I pooped my heart into this little track! 6 minutes of my blood and guts. I'm so glad you liked the percussion too, I just needed to get funky with it for once in my life.
Shut the hell up and dance!

[Tease me (1:04)]

Feeeeeaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr

What's up man! Sorry I couldn't get to your page sooner. You know how it is...anyway, this track freaked me out. It has a trippy quality to it that made me think of Clockwork Orange. I'm serious, this song almost persuaded me to shave my head and begin ridding the world of zero voters. Or was it cats? I dont know. Very interesting.

On a more critical side, I was yearning for something even more. Some more diversity, maybe another riff or sound to take over for a second and draw me deeper...something with a murderous rage. Come to think of it, this song might be close to straight up Evil. Still fun nonetheless. Finish it up! See ya WinT

LL

WinTang responds:

Hehehehe, nice one mate. Nice to hear from you again!

Expansion of this song is in preparation. I will strive to make it as evil as possible, and will probably invent a few new riffs to fuck around with. It'll be fun.

The Clockwork Orange reference fills me with joy. Thanks a lot and see ya around!

[-=LJC=- Pureed Guitar strings]

Perfect name...

Dude, I feel like my ears decieve me. This is great! So very crisp. HOW?! You have some of the most unique stuff since aphex Twin. Cool thing is, you're not cramping on his style...you have a style entirely your own.

Haha, that beat sounds so good under the guitar. Great little strum riff. This will played often in my car I do believe. Well done. You get a full 10/10, 5/5.

I'm moving to Orlando soon. We should look into a possibly very lucrative collab relationship.

Check the latest the Admiral and I have worked out...It's for another one of his production company's films-- "The Arsenal"

LJCoffee responds:

Orlando eh? Frop me a line and I'll pop out there and meet you for coffee or some other such nonsense.

Thanks for the review! I'll look into the new stuff that you and Admiral are doing.

[Brain Control--_--(5:25)]

Nobody DESERVES anything

Now shit can be earned. And I will say that you earned a review because you know what you're doing.

I gotta start off by saying that trance is so hard because it's really all been done before. Nevertheless, I could jam out to this. Cool use of filters and EQ's. The string pad you have for the breakdown blows though. If you're using FL, i KNOW you could find something more interesting. What were you thinking?

I'm not hearing enough lows in the kick. You either pumped the EQ at too high a frequency or you need to mix in the lows a little better. You could double the energy of this track with a kick that throbs at 200Hz.

All around well done. Way to go for 5 minutes!

LL

PERVOK responds:

Wow man, its ben forever since I've heard from you! Thanks for a review!

This songis a quick remaster of a really really old song, my friend. Thats probably why it sounds so cliche and shit. The kick was a quick remaster as well; I didn't check it out on other systems.

The string at the end was a string I always used to use back in the day. I just never took the time to change it into something sexy.

Thank you again for a great review, good sir!

[Why Birds Sleep Well (Part 1)]

Wow, all 10's

That string riff is menacing. I like how it just falls into place there. This takes me to a mysterious forest. It is somewhat menacing but not frightening or scary in anyway. It keeps me on my toes but is somewhat relaxing at the same time. Does that make and freakin sense at all??
This piece would be great for a soundtrack.

Perfect sounds for the best, soft and natural sounding. That actually sounds like a Korg soundbank...what are you using?

Quite enjoyable, thanks!

LL

Gillenium responds:

Hey thanks for the kind words! I get my samples from eeeeeverywhere. It's hard to tell where all of them came from. I make some of them myself, too! I use Fruity Loops for sequencing, Adobe Audition for wav editing, and Ableton Live for tempo and sound effects.

[Accoustic Lullaby]

Sequenced?

I'm thinking you didn't play that on a guitar, but the composition is there anyway. I'd 5 ya if you could pick it clean on a 6 string! [yaaaaawwwwwnnnnnn] Keep playin, I'm going to bed...

LL

Aephion responds:

*chuckles*
Thanks a lot ^_^
You guessed right, this ís sequenced ^_^

[GuilmonX - Say V2]

bow chicka wow

That's a kickin bassline man! I like all the EQ things going on during the piano breakdown part. Let's hear more out of that kick though.

It doesn't really have any form, but I must say that's kinda what makes it cool. It is definitely chaotic. Do you think anyone could play a set that fast? Haha, that'd be a miracle. Keep rockin em baby!

LL

TheCon-Sept responds:

I am going to be performing some of my music live with a band that me and some of my friends are putting together... We are trying real hard to play everything at that pace in perfect score. I barely have enough money to buy a keyboard though. I have to start practicing my insane piano licks.

I have already created another version of this sone but its not uploaded yet... Even I think the drum line isn't well tuned enough but I guess it makes it sound more ambient.

[<KZ> Underwater Chills]

doo dee dooodoood ooooo sssplash

LOok at you on the front page twice. Mooofugga! I like the cool whale-ish sounds. This one is fun, puts me in a cool driving mood...I think it would be great for a video game. The parts work well together, especially the chimy part and the bassline. Would like to hear you add some sort of change up other than when the lead goes off on its own thing. Keep kickn it my man!

Much better with the EQing this time...Way ta be!

LL

Kirizzle responds:

w00t! Being on teh front page is niiicee, even if I'm not in the top 20 places, some people still come across my songs ^_^

Great for a video game you say? Maybe if the game was called "Underwater Whale Adventures" or something, haha.

I think having another change-up would be totally beast, but I have no ideas on what I'd change-up =/ I'll think about it some and see if anything comes to me.

Thanks for teh review, manng!

chillin'

Your sound design is unsurpassed. A true genius of sound. The ambience is very strong in this one. Sets the mood with grace.

The full drums are interesting but a little busy. Other than that, the pluck is crisp and doodads (as Brian and I have come to call them). Oh, and good use of delay.

Drop an email sometime...let me know what you're up to. See ya round.

LL

LJCoffee responds:

Hey man! - I will do that - email PM etc.

"genius of sound" and "unsurpassed" are pretty strong terms - I don't really consider myself either to be honest. Besides I don't actually make any of this crap - I pay local kids to do it for me then I pass it all off as my own.

:D

[-=LJC=- Peace through OTC's]

jewwwowneddit

Man, you are the beat-master! I want that. Great sound design as usual. It has a fun ambience to it. What's it for, out of curiosity...it sounds like web music. Great either way.

LJCoffee responds:

Hey Layman! - it really wasn't for anything - I was really REALLY doped up on over the counter meds - had a flu or whatever and tried to kill it with bottles of dex. this sounded so cool while under that particular influence that I decided to post it up here.

thanks for the review - hit me with an email - later.
