ACTION-JACKSON's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[=The Anguish of Silence=]

sounds like Giorgio Moroder

just a little bit, in the beginning. Kinda like his stuff from Scarface?

Hades responds:

A bit, yes. There is a slight similarity, I guess. Thanks for commenting!

[Lost Universe]

I'm really seeing space

Right now I'm writing a science fiction novel, and this really helped me get into the right mood. If I ever make it into a movie too, I will be sure to include your song as part of the soundtrack.

SuperGoodSound responds:

movie FTW!!

[sad purple faces]

Really good!

From the very beginning, the pads give it a very creepy and mysterious feel. When the drums kick in, surprisingly, they matched with the tone. Usually when people add drums to their ambient work, it clashes with the mood set previously by other instruments, but in this piece, it all works together; same goes for the vocals.

Overall a very good piece that is well suited for a movie, as well as just listening to at home to chill and contemplate with in the background.

snayk responds:

Awesome. Thanks for the review!

[Trance-Hop Theme]

Off to a good start

If done right, this genre could be really good. I advise you to keep developing trance hop and become the father of a new genre.

SuperGoodSound responds:

Hmmm....yess.. MC Hunsaker is in the house. ha ha. I'll be like grandmaster flash. except i can't remember if he actually fathered a genre. oh well. I don't if the next song I'm throwing up is going to be countable as another trance-hopper - but it's still going to be good - hopefully...

[CSI love scene]

Hey now...

This actually sounds like something you would expect to hear in CSI. You've got the CSI style down pat. Now just go talk to the scriptwriters...

Syntrus responds:

indeed

[Ghetto Muffins]

Awwwwwwwww Sheeeit...

I love this. Whenever I listen to it I'm the dude from 3Ali flying through space while making love to an alien who laters civilization i will save by beating the shit outta some muffin punks ala Bruce lee.

ya

Syntrus responds:

aw yeaah

[Drown in the void]

Huh....

I really like some aspects of your ambient work, but it just seems a little incongruous. Most of it is dark, but it isn't refined, and you have some elements that suggest otherwise and detract form the dark ambiance. The "stringed" instrument is interesting, but I don't think it was used well, and should have been left out for a more purer dark tone. It was just too abstract.

I'd like to hear more of your experimenting with the dark ambient synths, and leave out the lighter overtones that ruin it. It honestly sounds like your just messing around with your Casio keyboard.

Make a deeper, more fluent and just plain better dark ambience, and leave out the lighter sounding elements, even if they are in minor notes. It just doesn't sound good with those scattered about. Stay minimalist, at least until you can do better overall. It's a decent start.

Bobert-Rob responds:

Yeah, there's a lot about this song that could've been better. It's not really supposed to be dark like many of my other tracks, really, but it could've been a good dark track if I had strayed away from the lighter aspects like you said, like the weird string parts. Thanks for the honest review!

[Rig - Nebula]

Great work!

I love this piece. It has perfectly light ambient mood. Goes great with anything, enjoying a garage full of exotic cars to contemplating the mysteries of an infinite cosmos.

Rig responds:

Or even Christmas. Thanks for the support!

StereoTactik responds:

[StereoTactik's DnB Tutorial!]

Really good

I've never made music, but I could tell you knew your stuff. You really broke it down for someone who didn't really know how to make this stuff.

StereoTactik responds:
