Virvius's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Landing on Crateria [S.M.]

Gorgeous sound effects

The piece is well thought out, put together, and generally brings out that uneasy edge you first feel after taking that step off your ship onto the surface.

[>>LOZ: The Lullaby of Time<<]

You have the voice of an angel

I imagine, in my dying moments, I hear such a peaceful and unearthly voice, guiding me. She takes my hand, gently walks with me over to the light. Whispering that everything is ok now, that I may rest.

It is so beautiful, you truly have a talented voice.

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.

Waterflame responds:

aww, thanks man :D ! yeah ill get back to those dark styles for real soon. i just feel so cheerfull these days :] !

thanks for the review!

[-Cannibal-]

There it is!

Good loving God, Waterflame! There's that dark entrenched feeling I have come to love. This is exactly the thing I've been missing so dearly. From the very first second this song caught my emotion and beat. I usually give every song a good minute listen before I make a determination, but this had me from the get-go.

Thank you, kind sir, for blessing this world with your gift and talent! And if I knew ya in real life, you could have me. lol

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.

[My Destination]

/Cheer!

ZOMG! I am so glad you are back!

Once again a fast paced battle theme that goes on the top of my MP3 player list! Hope to see more of your stuff sooner! A 5-6 month break away from your sexiness almost killed meh!

[{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!

Banjo-Kazooie was most of my teen-hood.

I know people hate this level, I absolutely loved it. It was a corky and fun level. Love the remix.

[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.
