Libby-Shimmz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Creature Comfort]

I'm really feeling those bars. They speak to me on a level I can't quite comprehend, but in the end I love this on the whole. The beat is eerie and cool, but still kind of bland. Thankfully, your vocals make this shine.

Your voice reminds me a lot of Alias of Anticon fame. Makes me wonder whether or not you've ever listened to 'The Other Side Of The looking Glass.'

5/5 9/10

Kwing responds:

What a coincidence, I just stumbled upon Alias today while looking through Adeem's old battles. I'm listening to his album right now and I'm already falling in love with the beats.

Content-wise, this was mainly about the kinds of values that are taught to us in society that baby us from the harsh truth, and how it harms us in the long run to be deluded by idealism. Though I consider this to be a completely original track, I would say it's most closely related to Eyedea's "Burn Fetish" and "The Dive."

Thanks for the feedback!

[Better Believe It]

Dark, but also haunting. As you stated this is very simple, but it works nonetheless. You've got a knack for the spooky, that's for damn sure. The atmospherics are wonderous; Those pads near the end are like icing on the cake. I can't tell if the lower frequency noise is a part of the synth or just a standalone element, but it adds nicely to the track.

Regardless of the repetition, this is a fine piece of work Kelpie!

Kelpalots responds:

Thanks! there is also this version!: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/627424

[-GM- Bamboozle]

Quite the funky track you've got here B! I'm going to assume that the horns and keys are coalescing from two separate, but equally important parts into the grand whole that is this chune. Dope chops as well. That snare is ill as fuck too.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thank ya thank ya

[-GM- Windfall]

That snare... I don't know where you source your drum sounds from (breaks, packs or the CIA???) but they never disappoint.

Those vocals are haunting, but the harp gives the beat a happier vibe.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks dude.

[Deadline]

That grime!

The woodblock sounds niiice!

BOULLIE responds:

What woodblock >.>

[Tatsumaki]

Loop this, it fuckin' bangs like train gangs with Lupis;
It's much cheaper than those itty bitty fruity ring things;
Listen to the message that it brings, sit and think;
Gather food with my mood, the grooves sent over Telepathy;
Use my telemetry to track the speed of your wack fleet;
Make a prince skip on her feet, not quite the neat treat Princess;
I want to fly over the heads of all these Bullies;
I'd say ' (Na na!) You can't do this!" and become a Buddhist;
--------------------------------------END-----------------------------------------

Dope beat Bou!

Harps sure do remind me of Alice Coltrane. ^_^

I'll be looking for where this movie quote comes from for the rest of the night for sure. Great inspiration for the free up above.

BOULLIE responds:

It's Brules Rules lmao

[Tears In The Desert]

I was totally expecting those awesome open hi-hats to change into a jazz-like rhythm. The lower-register piano on this didn't jive well with me, but the higher notes were much better at affecting my psyche. If they were in a tad more happier melody I'd give this a full 10.

"It is actually a bad idea to cry in the desert."

LIES AND SLANDER!

9/10 5/5

Kelpalots responds:

You'll have to teach me a jazz style of percussion using the hip-hop percussion folder I have. I'd like to see it made happen! :)

[Title Screen Tears]

I love those keys.

Almost sounds like a Fender Rhodes; Am I correct?

I know it's meant for a Title Menu, but this would be awesome if it were extended and you were to bring the drums up out of the Low Pass Filter they're sitting under.

Just a thought. ;)

8/10 4/5

AxTekk responds:

Ahhh thanks! Erm, idk, I just tweaked around with an electric piano plugin and ran it through Ohmicide. Could well be modeled on a Fender Rhodes though, you'd probably know better than me!

Hmmmm played around with extending this but I couldn't really make a full beat that I was happy with using this material. Thanks though, & feel free to sample if you wanna extend this shit

[Blow Your Brains Out]

This is in dire need of a breakbeat or two or ten or twelve. :p

Those bell-like synth sounds at around 1:00 are cool.

I don't know how you make your synths, but keep on doing whatever it is you do with your Instrument Plugins. :D

Kelpalots responds:

I'd love to do some percussion on it with you!
