durn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tree Forts]

beautiful and fun

rambling and aimless much like a child's adventures. excellent tune here. :)

didn't really like your rhythm section at first but it grew on me.

absolutely love the flute melody. really nice. :)

spoonybrad responds:

Thanks much!

[Deso & DJ MirAge- Hawaii Dream]

oh f--- ya!!!

dude, slap a mojito in my hand and throw the pig on the roast because This IS AWESOME!

:D honestly, great work here. absolutely love it. especially the use of live bass and guitar, basically makes this song. :)

way to go you two!

DesoFreelanceRecords responds:

I'm hella happy that You like it !
That's right, we wanted to put something more than just synthesizers to that song :)
Thanks very much !!

[Blue Haven - BK]

whack and totally fun

weird sounds and an eclectic beat give this tune a feel all its own. :) very unique song, I like it a lot!

[Fredgy - Dream Away]

excellent progression

great choice of melodies and synths but ... wow man, your high-end is WAY too loud. it's honestly hurting my ears and I have -very- poor reception in the higher frequencies so that's saying a lot.

eq the high-end on your hats to be quieter and this will rock.

Fredgy responds:

cool, i'll now straight away!
thanks for saying that :D
because i made it with bad headphone lol :p
quite difficult xD

[Cast From the Stars (Chill MX)]

very chills

relaxing and hypnotic. the whitenoise/openhihat you use is pretty neat.

it's cool, a lot of the elements are from high energy music but you've managed to keep it subdued and relaxed. :) awesome stuff here man.

Bracksta responds:

thanks bro :D! now lets see if i can't get bombed, lol.

[JBI - Eiril's Theme v2]

:)~~~

those're tears, not drool! :)

very moving piece here. great use of strings, pads and piano here. absolutely beautiful. :) I would love to see the movie that this accompanies.

[Nostalgia In Space (NG Cut)]

your grasp of reason is superb

being a fellow reason user I can appreciate the lengths to which you must go to achieve such a crisp and full sound. awesome work here, man. :)

[the elefant-man prologue]

vocals need to stand out a bit more

would've been a 10 otherwise as the style seems reminiscent of Blind Melon and I used to love them. :)

[When you got a good frein]

oh audio portal, you've redeemed yourself

the top 3 songs are all funk/blues... I must've died and gone to heaven to be experiencing such soulful jams.

great work here, guys. :)

understandable that people've been giving poor reviews. they're all cretins with no personal taste beyond what mtv tells them. :)

for those who know... this is gold. :)

Lundsfryd responds:

I think that the average NG user's taste is pretty far from Mtv. But it also pretty far from most traditional root genres. It's allright. I don't mind a lower score that much as long as I know that the blues fans like it. They are our audience :)
Thank you very much for the kind words :)
