ConnorGrail's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Isolation]

I can jam to this. Surpisingly upbeat for something called Isolation!

Slintas responds:

Thanks, man! Isolation for me is a double-edged sword. It's a love/hate relationship, hence the more upbeat parts. The outro is my hope of not dying alone. A light at the end of the tunnel.

[Legionella]

Man I really dig this stuff. It's so gloomy, but insanely groovy at the same time. You seem to have a great sense for what parts work where, I like the composition a lot.

Coffee-Break responds:

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it!

[MM5: The Ides of March (PKRX)]

This genre doesn't do that much for me most of the time, but this is just a well put together track regardless. I just like to sink into the chaos, it's pretty relaxing in a weird way. Nice work

Anchorwind responds:

Most appreciated. This is pretty much what I go for, tracks wherein you can lose yourself. Some people make truly dance music, others make music that takes you places. I go for things like what you described.

Your review made me happy.

[Ayjin - Chillin]

This is really cool. Those high bendy synths actually made me smile. Which was weird cause I'm just sitting at my desk alone grinning. But that's besides the point. Very bouncy tune, and if you stick to that track every week goal I think you will be seeing some real improvement.

Armorstick responds:

Thanks man! I will stick to it! Already have 3 songs done haha, just have to get the mixing right ;)

[AIM - A long way through winter]

I kept expecting this to go somewhere bigger, but then I realized that it really didn't need to. Really enjoyable and some very pretty parts. Really liked how you made the chords and melodies fit together at parts

Azhthar responds:

Thanks a lot! I´m glad you like it. Maybe I should have made some more evolvement at the end of the track but I just wanted to make this piece a bit more slow and peaceful.

[The Dark Desolater]

This sounds like it could be in a Metroid game if there was one that was a little less grim and had some really quirky elements to it. It has that really nice desolate mysterious space vibe but I also appreciated the dancey parts a lot, made me think of an intergalactic rave battle. Which doesn't sound that cool but the way I imagine it in my head is pretty sweet

Spadezer responds:

Dude comparing my music to Metroid! I'm honored. And it sounds like our minds went in similar directions with the music so I dig what you're getting at. "Intergalactic rave battle" I don't think is too far off what I envisioned. Not quuuuuiiite what I was getting it, but that's the cool part about music is being able to communicate thoughts without words.

Thanks

[Island Impulse]

Makes me want to go chill at the beach. Pretty cool

me-the-Guy responds:

thanks man!

[Artificial Spirit]

I like this a lot. Honestly it started out reminding me of some badass fantasy game, then it turned into the Lion King, and I was pretty happy with that

Mattashi responds:

Haha yeah! It definitely has that Lion King vibe xD
