tottel-be's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tremble]

Great one, as usual

Ehm.. about the 5th fun fact, .. ah never mind.. not my business what you do in your free time ^^

Now the serious part.. It sounds much more professional with the new software.. I think it was definitely worth the money.. although your previous (non-lyric)songs gave me a 'Wow-That's-got-to-be-a-Milkman_dan-s ong' feeling :), since it was a bit chaotic, and thus recognizable, at times.. , which I liked,..
But I'm very sure you've now made an important decision in your music composing career..

I have to say.. this song sounds incredible..Am I right when I say you try to make every song a bit epic? :) Well.. you certainly succeeded, in every song...

So when will you start making music for movies, video games, etc..? :)
Just look at what MaestroRages does..I bet you can do the same ^^ (especially with the new software..)

Best of luck!

MilkMan-Dan responds:

Your right... I try to achieve "epic" in every song... seriously... Epic should be a genre.

You'd be surprised who I work with these days... and me and maestro are still close as ever, we do alot of the same things.

Thanks for another review from you mate... since you review every piece you deserve a few replies ;).

Sincerely,
MMD

[Heavenly Fields]

Nice job

Erm? What's the name of the real song again? it sounds so familiar..
Nice job on this one, all tough it sounds a bit strange sometimes..
Something with the rythm, I guess.

Cosmos8942 responds:

Oh I know that it sounds strange at points...but I think that adds to its charm at least a little bit. Anyhow, I forget the original name, I literally have no idea anymore, I would have to look it up.

Anyhow, thank you for the review, the comments and the high score. Always nice to see any of those three ^^;.

[An Angel Falls]

nice work

It's definitely not a bad song, but I think the voice is a bit too digital.. as you mentioned in yout comment..
And about the auto-tune-can't-sing-without-thing... your previous 2 songs... you didn't use auto-tune did you (or at least not as much as here)?
And the singing was ... well.. perfect for me.. and I think many people share my opinion :)
Love the piano though, your play just keeps improving ^^

The song played 3 times now while typing this review.. it gets better every time.. but I decided to keep the review I typed when I heard the song the first time.. Just to give you idea about the first impression..

[A Classical Christmas]

Christmas Contest

Beautiful.. But if I had to choose a christmas song to use in a flash movie, it would be 'The purest of Winters', that one is slightly better ^^
And since you've written that one as well, I hope that you take this as a compliment...

Strange.. Doesn't matter what time of the year it is, I'm always in a Christmas mood when I hear these 2 pieces..
Well I don't mind; I love Christmas, as much as I love Christmas music!
I'm looking forward to hear your next Christmas, I'll nominate it in the contest ^^

Not a good timing, but oh well.. Merry Christmas!
I wish it was Christmas again!

[Solo Piano -Improvisation in A]

Amazing!

Amazing!
Well if this really is an improvisation ( and it is..), then I'm completly stunned..
So I'm stunned..
Top rated....

[::Z::Melodies of Life]

Could have been better

Did you all play it yourself?
cause I play the original song myself, it's a beautiful song, bit not easy ^^

It's too bad that at 00:20 your high notes are waaaay to quite, they should be louder then your left hand..., and they remain quite trough out the whole song...
Next, when the drums come in, it should be a bit more epic...
try some variation with your left hand as well...

But overall, nicely played, it deserves the award: best of the week...

[The Great Times]

Great

Wow great! A bit in the style of classimania... But more majestic..
Just amazing! Very nice rythm

[Classimania]

Amazing

You did a very nice job there.. it has a very catchy melodie, and I love the rythm with the accents from time to time

I would certainly love to get that sheet music ^^

[Relax and Chill]

amazing

Amazing, a very beautiful song you wrote there..
I especially like the little bells, they have a nice tune and a cool rythm ^^

I'm using this song in a flash movie that I'm working on..
Don't expect it soon though :)

[In The Open]

Comment outdated ^^

Heard this song a long time ago, but never reviewed it.. thought it was finally time to do so..

Indeed a wonderful song..but of course it was in 2005 when you said that this one's your favorite :)
In the last 3 years you've written even better songs, and you can't argue with that ^^ (Altough I'm starting to doubt since this song is playing for the second time now, and it keeps sounding better and better :p)

Anyway.. you've been composing for newgrounds for a very long time now..
I consider you as the best musician in the audio portal (but to be honest.. so far I've only checked the classical section... Apparantly that suits me best, and I have no reason to move on to another section..)

Keep on composing....
