Virvius's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Surface-]

Very good mix

Impressed by this very catchy tune. Sounds like a mix of some of your old school stuff like the original race around the world and hillbilly breakout.

Though one style I'd love to see you revisit is the same theme you did for your song, Hospital. You kinda touched on it with Cannibal but wasn't nearly as techno-y.

Well done with the song, keep them coming.

Hard thought review...

Waterflame,

I have been a fan of yours for quite some time. I am writing this as a review not just for this song, but for you. In the past years, you have slowly drifted in your style of music, as I am sure you are quite aware of.

This song is no doubt a good and happy tune, but I miss the old Waterflame style of hard drums and bass. My all time favorite song of yours is Ricochet Love that you released in May of 2009. That I felt was the epitome of the essence you brought to the music world. Since then, your music has become more frilly and less.. meaningful. It's not that your work isn't amazing, it's that I draw from your emotion in your songs.

I only write this out of pure love for your work. Please do not take anything as hurtful, you're a sexy flamer ;)

If I could somehow pay you, the one song, or style I'd love to see done would be a remix of Ricochet Love. There's a story behind it, one I wrote about past love and pain. It's why your songs inspire me, they bring out emotion and story unlike I have felt in a long time.

I've donated not in the hopes that I'll be picked, but because I want you to succeed, and perhaps return to some of your old roots. Though being picked would be sweet. lol

Take care gorgeous,
Virvius

Waterflame responds:

well no i just take this as inspiering words! you'll be glad to know theres 3 songs with hard kicking drums in the works. but yes its also funy that you should mention emotions. ricochet love was something i made out of beeing in a frustrating relationship with alof of agruing, still we cared alot for eachother.

the song was my emotions at the time. i guess.. but lately ive just been kinda shallow, and happy. hehe. trying to avoid all the emotional stress i used to feel. i guess my inspiration usualy is love. and sometimes, the lack off. now im more like most pepole, and give it some time... i used to just jump right into it and fall in love like no tomorrow. haha. but theres clearly a connection. when i dont have a girl in my life. i have no inspiration. :S

unless i have a direct assignement, that is!

thanks alot for the donation. you know.. altho my style drift, im not really leaving my roots. you can look at it this way; im trying every style i like. and i try to make it perfect. its kinda like i move on the the next segment of my learning curve. and in the end, in god knows how many years? ill have a refined and complete style. now, im still just learning! hehe. but ill seriously take it into consideration. its great that you care so much about my tunes! enugh to actually hear what i want to display.

Theres alot in store for this summer, this song was just the opening "teaser" ;)
i just hope i get enugh time to do it all. hehe.

thanks a bunch for the review! you loyal fans is just as important to me as my music is to you.

[{MSX} Boss Theme 1 (extended)]

Good theme, just annoying undertones.

This song has some good elements, however the underlying repetitious note throughout the song kinda overshadows the rest of the song. It finally breaks up around the 1.18 mark. After that it is quite enjoyable. Maybe remove that one note, or quiet it down, or even break it up so it's not so... blaring.

MSXOmega responds:

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind!

[Nightmare Zero]

Impressive.

Digging the sweet beats you have made here. The original was epic enough, this just makes it even better. Keep up the good work!

Beartheshadows responds:

Indeed it was. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Mystic Quest Boss Theme Remix]

I'm such a dork.

Lol, I just reviewed your battle theme song, not knowing you actually remixed this! Epic, thank you so much!

pumodi responds:

No harm done. I'm glad you like it man!

[-Give me a break-]

Never Cease To Amaze Me!

Thank you for coming back!! I thought you fell off the face of the earth! I was sad. Now I'm happy! And you submit a song on my birthday!

Waterflame responds:

haha, yay :D happy birthday then! and thanks

[Sons of the Exodus I: Boreas]

love it

This is very awesome. Never have i heard such a good mix.

SessileNomad responds:

thanks

[Sting - Timing]

Love it.

I have always loved these deep, trance-like, ambient sounds. Wonderful.

Blasphem-E responds:

Glad you enjoyed it.

[Battle (Sequel)]

I really like your break beats

I wish i could learn to mix as half as good as this. I really like it. As for improvements, I am not sure I could give you any decent advice as I know very little myself.

shaggyhaired responds:

Thanks a bunch!

I don't really consider myself that great, it's a casual thing.

One thing I would suggest is looking up chords and progressions; it makes everything easy.
