Arponax's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Farewell 2024... - One Last Orchestral Epic, narrated by yours truly.]

That is some spicy progression at the end. Love it.

[Octopus Butt Boogers]

Quality stuff here, love it.

[Beyond (Perimeter Theme)]

really well done track...when it hits 1:12 it feels like it doesnt stop and just gets more dense i absolutely love that...the bass is simple and lovely, drums are mysterious (maybe if they were less in front or a bit more "cloudy" it would make the feel stronger...but thats my perception), oh boy that guitar.

Deserved Frontpage.

I will have to listen to this once more sometime.

PixxlMan responds:

Thank you! Glad you like it :)

[Outerspace]

A nice little song...the chorus feels underwhelming...but surprisingly not in a bad way XD the song kinda slides into it seamlessly.

the bass is stable throughout that transition which is very interesting to me...cause typically when you try to make a drop/chorus you atleast make the bass more subtle to add a little more tension to the buildup.

very cool, me likey. I love the part at 1:17 the most.

Dynamic0 responds:

Thanks Arponax!
This song is more focused on the verses than the choruses, I know it's unusual.
The basses are here more because it sounds weird when they are not here...
Thanks again, 1:17 is also my favorite part.

[Qual (AIM 2024)]

Well, this feels like a very unique, unusual piece of art XD
i dont think ive ever heard a fusion of opera with breakcore(not that ive heard much of it) and hardcore? but here we go :D

The composition feels very abstract i like it, its not something one would listen to on daily basis but boy i respect the creativity. (also it got FPed, nice GJ)

Good luck with AIM im sure it will place high.

chipsqueek responds:

haha thanks dude, goodluck with AIM as well! I was listening to a lot of Igorrr and Fleshgod Apocalypse before working on this so if you wanna do a deep dive into some operatic breakcore, or even operatic black metal, Igorrr is where it's at!

[Illusion]

This was a ride, i enjoyed it quite alot.
I think maybe the lead synths and other stuff might feel more space-y?

This might just be a personal preference, cause i neither make or listen too much to psytrance (my biggest knowledge of this comes from Infected mushroom) but for me, psytrance is kinda supposed to feel a little bit "overwhelming"? with all the sounds and layers...so your brain has alot of work with actually finding what those layers are and stuff.

Aside from that i feel like this is pretty solid track and it was enjoyable i didnt realised i was listening for 6 minutes....great job.

burningmagma responds:

Thanks so much for your feedback! ;)

[Clown Town]

Oh yes, even on april fools you didnt dissapoint :D great job.

[JAMUARY SONG 31]

Congrats my brotha :D we indeed did it.

Awesome track :D

[Save the Light (Jamuary 2024)]

Sensational.
great piece indeed, it is simple and easy to listen to.

As a very complex composition loving person :D i would make the chord progressions a bit more spicy, with some more melodic elements, like some arpeggios or more dynamics and more development overall. But thats just my personal taste :D

The song itself as it is feels complete and nice.
