Anjovi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-GM-Anjo- Without W.A.R.]

This beat was just so good though that i needed something to put on it. Turned out the lyrics blended fairly well (at least as far as my capabilities are concerned), a damn fine beat!

[-GM- Spring]

this is that thing that just grows on you. The progression/fleshing out of the beat particularly stood out to me. that ambience and piano are great blends!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

thanks anj. Yeah it's just looped throughout with a little more piano stacked on.

[-GM- 00]

You've got something really special here. My only gripe is that i find that i'm not a as big a fan of story telling songs as i am of conceptual songs that use an array of metaphors to suit the theme of the rap/message/w/e..

for example i remember that misfit island verse you wrote and it might be my favorite of yours because you sort stuck to a theme rather then a narrative....this allowed you to think up and portray a bunch of different little stories/imageries to fit in context to the concept of the song.

I suppose it was all just one narrative as you described the relationship between salt mine/manufacturing/marketing/consumer but it painted a canvas more so then a episode persay.

that's what i'm getting at...the difference inbetween a canvas and an episode.. I imagine when trying to describe a single story to get a message a cross you have to write the message real subtly (think using each of the characters/plot devices as metaphors and having all of academia's egg heads bending their minds figuring out what the relation ship of things are in context to the underlying theme) as opposed to when you write a canvas you can just unleash your mind and rape peoples minds.

that said though your flow is gorgeous! you really got the cadence of your voice to. Love how relaxed it is...really puts it ahead of alot of rappers i hear, especially in combination in the imaginative writing, ryhme schemes, etc.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

I hear you on that. Themes. Words creating an atmosphere, not a narrative. I agree it's more fun and crazy. I'll try to do more like that. Thanks for the long review too!

[-GM- Garden]

If your into sending the files my way i wouldn't mind having a go at it. If not to get lucky on a good blending sample or 2...hehe

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Will do. look out in your inbox

[-GM- Starburst]

you know your way around this stuff! fantastic beat, your beats are the type of thing i imagine all those original jazz/blues/flamenco/whatever players listening to with a big wide gitty grins on their faces.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Yeahman anjovi! appreciate it. maybe I'll make something that'll inspire one of your raps soon!

[-GM- Quill]

I'd definitely keep this one around, even if you have to make a transition (not a chorus) that deviates from the main loop all together.and have it tie back to this part again.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Exactly the part I'm having trouble with actually! I find it hard to extend and deviate the melody for a hook type part. I think I'm just rusty from being away from the lab so long.

[-GM- Do You?]

absolutely loving that vocal sample, but the way that crashing wave of vibraphones and amp guitars come in here and their is just what i needed...

B-RadGfromOV responds:

danke dude

[-GM- Centaur]

is this you playing around with vst's? sounding good, got me thinking adventure time.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Well two of them yeah. Others are samples. Thanks :)

[-GM- King's Limp]

shucks! just noticed this one (makes a long swipe of his arm to snatch all the gminor beats he can as he dashes out the window exit)

B-RadGfromOV responds:

HEY! THAT MAN TOOK MY BEAT!

[-GM- Blue Rose]

nice! the stuttering works great suits the vibe and all. seems it might only really standout with the trumpet though (just it's eq level/whatever, the chops are great!) maybe if there was some sort of compression or subtle reverb/echo effect that you could use on those specific chops?

otherwise nice to hear some stuff from you again. I've just been putting stuff up again, though it seems to be masked from the audio section (new account stuff)
