Aalasteir's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Robot Manufacturing]

Good melody with well-paced drums, and the atmosphere is cool. Excellent job—Happy Robot Day!

Dynamic0 responds:

Thanks for review! Happy late robot day too!

[We are the Robots! (From the Newgrounds Robot Day Collab)]

Absolutely amazing song! It has a great composition with a unique atmosphere and is very creative. Drawing inspiration from the retro style of Kraftwerk was a great decision. I remember listening to the band a lot—they are truly unique. I'm happy to hear that they could be an influence on your incredible music. Happy Robot Day!

xanxoepico responds:

Thanks Aalasteir! I feel the song came out kinda cheesy, but I'm glad you enjoyed it regardless!

[Keep Them Coming! (NGUAC Knockout Round)]

The atmosphere is so fun, with great energy! You did an excellent job on composing a great composition with many complimentary parts!

01:07 - Amazing breakdown.

Interloping responds:

I honestly dont think I would be this far if not for your personal efforts to motivate me to keep going with my compositions. To this day Im still convinced that youre the one who scouted me on the portal <3

[The Sparrow]

You create amazing music, James. The richness of the sounds, the level of detail in your song, your great voice, and the progression of the music are all outstanding!

JamesHeart responds:

Thank you!! it means a lot
to be honest I almost threw this one away.. I felt it was no good and hated my voice in this
after abandoning it for a few months I went back and finished mixing it with low expectations for it with its reception
I'm glad i was wrong in that

You made an absolutely amazing album! You should be very proud. You have a great sound and a unique style.

Dieswyx responds:

Thank you very much Aaly, I'm happy you liked it 😄

[Stargazer]

Excellent song with great positive energy!

JamesHeart responds:

<3 <3 <3

[Keep Going]

Your landscape is interesting, offering a powerful opportunity to experiment and discover. I like the dark auditory elements and the rich balance between the instruments.

JamesHeart responds:

eeeeeeEEEee
thank you

I'm glad it translated well ^^
this is a darker song in vibe but i never shy away from that side of things in music
i love it when the synths sound like they are crying.. and using extremely high notes and low note leave the mids open to so much thought and room for atmospheric work

Thank again

[Recently]

Your atmosphere is great, bass is mixed well, and the unique sounds make for a great composition.

JamesHeart responds:

trying to find the strange but satisfying while also not going to far to harsh this ear of the listener.

Thank you

The wide bass in this was an experiment as the best thing for a bass is to keep it mono so I'm glad the bass isn't weak ^^

[Pop Pinned]

Excellent, personal and great style. Additionally, your chorus is very good!

JamesHeart responds:

Thank you
was worried about the vocal quality a bit
not the most confident in recording as of lately with my recording area all being wood floored

I'm glad it its doing well
like throwing spaghetti at a wall and hoping it sticks ^^

[Operations]

Absolutely amazing! Your rhythm is immensely well-crafted!

JamesHeart responds:

Thank you!! ^^

bits of the percussion just happened it fall into place on its own
I ended grabbed the right drum samples randomly at the start
