JReckitt's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jazz for James]

Laid back

Superb!

This is an excellent easy-listening track; wouldn't be out of place as background music in an expensive restaurant!

:)

phrygianfingers responds:

Thanks for the kind words. Maybe someday I'll cut a record for some ritzy place, but for now, I'll just stick around on Newgrounds :P

[Silent Tears [Orch]]

Expressive

I must say, extremely well done.

The emotions you felt are portrayed perfectly through the medium of music, which requires great skill to do.

I felt a tear come to my eye as I was listening to it, and reading the author comment; so emotive!

Keep up the great work!

Dj-Flux responds:

I'm glad you felt the music. :]

Thanks.

[Let's Dance]

Catchy

Nice work, man!

Two criticisms:

1) It's slightly short (only half a criticism, if I'm honest!)

2) It could do with a boost in the bass to give it some real oomph!

Keep it up!

syphonmax responds:

I might just do that ^_^

Thanks man

[Biosaurus Mex]

Fantastic!

The syncopated drumbeat is excellent!!

The dissonance and harsh electronic sounds are really accurate at describing the atmosphere!!

LOVE IT!!!!

metallikid6 responds:

Fuck yeah!! Thank you man. I worked hard on that one.

[MH16: James Bond (ish)]

Good, but misses some things

Great work man!

I love the synthesised melody ion the second half!! Excellent!!

It's only got a 7 from me, though, because the beginning could do with some sweeping notes by the violins - a feature that's just typical of bond. The simplistic opening ruined it, I think, but the main section is great!!

Hope it goes well!!

FairSquare responds:

That´s a really good idea!
I'll change the beginning (except if it's not as good as this intro)
You'll receive a PM from me when it's finished :-)
Thanks! :D

[Stroll Through the Park]

Not bad...not bad at all

Relaxing, with excellent use of pizzicato towards the end.

Maybe try a version using orchestral instruments instead of synthesisers? Or maybe even change it to a jazz band and swing the rhythms out!

Whatever you do to this, whether you leave it as it is or what, it'll be good. Keep it up!

AEPfx responds:

thx, i was tryin to be "avan guard"

[[oove] Heartbeats]

Shows exceptional talent

This piece is something to be proud of.

Very precise and emotional.

My personal opinion is that the faster passage (from 2:23 onwards) ruins the effect a little. Slow it down a bit, then it will fit in more with everything else.

Excellent work!

broove responds:

Thanks for the review.
In my opinion the speed is appropriate though.

[Slow Walk in the Park]

Very good indeed!

Reflective.

I like this piece. A lot.

The chord progressions all work perfectly, and the quiet strings in the background are the cherry on the cake.

The use of ornamentation and clever use of dynamics make it seem a lot more 'human' than other pieces, giving it the edge.

Great work!

ChrisisD responds:

Thank you very much for these positive words! It's really appreciated!!
