Wow. Dat percussion doh.

I really wish I could write percussion like that (I'm grouping in percussive synths also).

I really enjoyed the piece, very well done!

Dylnmatrix responds:

Thanks man, glad you liked it!

It's actually not too hard to write percussion like this once you think about it. We just had the electro percussion be on offbeats and the toms that came in later were just slipped in at parts where there wasn't any other percussion once it got moving. It'll sound weird on it's own, but with all the other percussive elements it seamlessly fits in.

I really like it!

I haven't rated something a solid 5 stars in a long time!

I really liked the intro, and I liked it again around 2:00. I also really liked the percussion for the most part.

The phased bass I think is cool but it feels a little too far off from the melody.
The synth that comes in around 3:40 (and other places) just ruins it for me - I get the effect that you're going for but it didn't really click in my opinion... That synth is almost the only thing that I dislike about this piece, but I REALLY dislike it.

Otherwise, I think you've made a pretty solid piece!

JMSy responds:

thanks that synth sound is a bit geeky/comedy it defo takes away from the professional aspect/feel of the song and makes it more parody i guess.....i might rework the song.

As for the bass phased thing i am not a trained musician so have no clue what you mean...not sure what melody i should be linking bass to either lol....im new to this just play about really.

cheers for review glad u enjoyed.

ps- reworked it a bit http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/610635

I'm digging the envelopes on all of your synths. Must have taken a hella long time to write in all of these effects.

At points, I feel like the melody doesn't really meld together, and I find some of it to be unnecessarily repetitive. But as a whole, I like it - especially the part at about 2:18!

FYI, Heaven Rd. 3 is on Spotify and everywhere else in the Super Electronic Joy album.

This is awesome. I found it by accident while looking for OccularNebula's Ignition. I was about to skip and then the melody kicked in and I'm glad I didn't.

Easily the best mistake I've made all day!

One thing though:
- You should lower the ceiling on (some of) the crashes. They're a bit much, especially when the melody is weaker.

8-bitheroes responds:

Thanks for leaving some feedback! Its good to know when someone is enjoying your work.
I'll take note of those cymbals.

So you're NOT dead!

Hey, you just reviewed something of mine so I'd like to return the favor!

I very much like the piece in its melodic progression and it's good blending of heavy and not-as-heavy tracks. My only complaint is that at 0:40, the treble begins to mesh together because either the resonance or the cutoff is too high. Great piece though!

joshica responds:

Thanks for the review! and yeah, I looked into that, but I shouldn't have to worry about it in the actual project. It's just because everything's mixed for a completely different set of melodies/an entirely different song structure. But, I'm definitely going to watch out for that in the other part of the project now. So, thanks :D

The constant melody before about 0:40 sounds very on-the-fly.
The meat of it though sounds good, but I think that the echo is a bit much on the beginning. If you change it, don't get rid of it, but make it about half of what it is. Oh and the crash or whatever that is at about 0:30 hurts. A lot. Turn that way down.

For all of you commenting about how it has 8x downloads:

About three years ago, Newgrounds was updated and in the process all audio listens were reset to zero while the downloads remained the same. This piece used to be one of the most listened-to pieces on NG (I think it was like #7?).

I compose and produce my own music as you all obviously know if you are reading this, write for the hell of it, code in four languages (Java, C++, Lua, and HTML) and play three instruments! Because I'm just that awesome...
