Anjovi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hollowed Stars]

I really like this one man! the main piano riff and that background mix are as beautiful as can be.

[Noir Serenade]

Hey Casper! :D

I'm digging it man! I know the very busy soundscapes aren't for everyone, but I don't think you'd be hard pressed for those that wouldn't want to get down to this!

Maaaaaaybe, what might be worth doing is playing around with is extending the beat and allowing different elements of the beat to weave in and out (maybe have some riffs/instruments that don't even trigger alongside the others. I say this as you have a lot to work with and it might give it an edge to be able to draw the beat out and let the individual components more time to shine.

Kaellin Ellis is a master of this, I'd highly recommend just watching some of his streams, even if it's just skimming through them for some insights. It also kinda fits in that wheel house which is why i suggest it.

Great shit man! Front page worthy stuff IMO :D

[Goblet]

Killed it! Love the transition!

[Fear of Secrets Behind Those Golden Eyes]

Sweeet! Great mix Lib!

Real good flow/pacing with it to....part of me wonders if in the intro it might help to try and build a bit more anticipation with the drums.
Like you got em coming in heavy from the start, pretty much how they'll play out through the remainder....but there's something about that and the subdued guitar sample that feels like it's begging for the drums to start a bit softer...

making the drums softer, like an ominous calm before the storm heh
all i got, super solid though
hearing it again though, it ain't like it's needed. this works to

yeah, just being a critic for critic's sake probably haha
maybe a reverb? so it hits as hard, but just a little muffled

i dunno just rando thoughts

[Inari]

I'm a simple man. I see B-rad beat, I click, listen to the pretty ear dope, and give it a 5.

Love the contrast and enmeshing of the flute and the accordion-sounding instrument. The rhodes and reverby drums act as a great glue for it everything.

Very serene vibe.

[Burrowing Owl (8wltre6)]

Touching track man! The selfishness of man knows no bounds. The colonial fuck train just chugging along.

Can't wait to hear these when they get out of the draft phases!

NodOfTheEel responds:

Indeed gonna go on a little speal about things like that, along with some other atrocities.
We'll see where it goes... Appreciate you Anj!

[jimmy]

Dope loop brother!

[stew and toast]

Dope brother! Real calm and peaceful vibe, but you add that vibe to it that matches it, like giving it that wood engraving quality of that pic you chose.

My favourite of yours!

NodOfTheEel responds:

My shinigami drooled when I said bon appetit

[As Usual x Anti-Thesis x O G H A M]

Dope brother! Great voice that I want to hear more of.
Keep going!

[Eternal Night (Zai7er)]

Great progress EEL!

Would love to hear the voice in the mix more, think they warrant being heard some more :)

NodOfTheEel responds:

Ahhh the mysterious hand himself! Ohhhh We'll see even more, too deep in my dive now 👹
V2 Coming soon....ish hahah. If I were to redo it now I think it would be better just didn't wanna get rid of the original recording was too raw and close to home 🖤
