Libby-Shimmz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-GM- Atom's Glow]

Is the name of this a reference to Fallout?

I dig the sample usage in this; Those vocals and the guitar are kind of haunting.

Not bad for a shortie.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Yes, yes it is! Come, and bask in the glory of Atom's Glow. Yea, your suffering shall exist no longer; it shall be washed away in Atom's Glow, burned from you in the fire of his brilliance.

Thanks for the review brothaman.

[Libralake]

Dope shit Bou!

Those vocals or a vocoded synth that pop up here and there?

I can't quite tell.

Regardless, those chimes are soothing to my ears; Same goes for the whole beat itself.

Keep it up bruv.

BOULLIE responds:

I believe it's a Synth. PM me for the deets if you wanna

[Kwing vs Panixxx]

Dope bars Kwing! Loved the Vinny Paz shout-out; Jedi Mind Tricks is one of my favorite Hip Hop collectives.

8/10 for the crappy mic. How bad were the lows fron your heater?

Kwing responds:

Yeah, I liked the Vinnie like too. It's too bad Panixxx couldn't have dropped because there really is a similarity - you can check his Soundcloud and see for yourself.

EDIT: Finally got a drop from him, you can re-listen and hear his verse.

The lows *were* really bad. I'm in an apartment so the heating unit is on the same floor I'm recording on. People have joked that it sounds like there's an airport in my living room.

[The Bodhrán Duel]

That was dope as hell gurl! How long did it take to compose and/or record this? You have quite the passion in this piece. I'mma download this for future use. :p

5/5 10/10

Troisnyx responds:

Composing didn't take a while. Recording did, in that there was a long break between Frootza's take (which was in November) and mine (which was in January). I needed to listen to this a few times so as to get into the groove, and Frootza had already told me he was doing a 90 BPM groove, so I thought I'd follow suit.

My playing was done in one single take. Although admittedly, I sometimes feel embarrassed about the slips -- but many have told me these make the piece human.

Thanks -- glad you enjoyed it!

[Greensong]

This almost sounds like a minimal house loop. I like it.

7/10

Kokkobello responds:

Thanks!

[AxEL - Elastic [clip]]

Man, that bass is sooooo good. Why is it only a clip? Is the full track on your Soundcloud? I'mma look soon. This reminds me of Rusko in a way.

4 stars for the shortness. :p

AxELdub responds:

This song is actually still being worked on, full track will be available soon on the soundcloud.

[The Desert]

Man, I love your sample usage. The guitar that shows up halfway through is awesome. Is that a flute underneath the drums at around 0:45? I'm not really feeling the beat until the dialogue sample shows up, but your synths are on point. I really dig the last minute and a half though. The glockenspiel (Am I correct in this presumption?) at the end is cool. I would have used it throughout the track instead of only at the end, but to each their own.

I would love it if I could download this. :p

EdKempeper responds:

Hi ! (sorry for my poor english and this late answer ). Thanks for your comment ! Most of the samples is from a video called "Indian prophecy" or something like that. You're right, there's a native flute taken from Universal Soundbank. And for the glockenspiel i think it's from "Harmless" synthesizer, a preset called "Music box". Hope this coud help you.

[Strange Tomato]

Your vocal style reminds me of Ween. I could totally hear this being recorded on a 4-track and put o one of their first albums.

................

I don't know what else to say so I'll just leave. :p

ChessPiece19 responds:

I love Ween so much mang. If I could ever be half as talented as those dudes are I'd be extremely pleased with myself.

[The Awakening]

I sure as hell don't.

This track is very sorrowful, but uplifting at the same time.

What's the dialogue sample at 1:15 saying? 'Billy.....' is all I can catch.

The pad at 1:20 sounds like something out of Silent Hill.

I like the heart monitor FX throughout.

That sampled rain adds to the melancholia vibes I get from this as well.

Awesome Ambient piece Zoo!

5/5 10/10
