DivoFST's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[High [Feat. KJOokami]]

Really like this song.
It could somewhere along its duration evolve into something more, also the drums feel a bit over simplistic. The chords and the effects in both the voice and the guitar totally get me, i really like the song overall and nice lyrics and vocals.

LemonCrush responds:

Hey thanks a lot man!

I really tried to emulate the original version (from the group I was in a few years ago) and in the process ended up creating something unique, yet still the same feel as the original. Your critque and reviews mean so much! Thanks

[~SW~ Star Nuclei]

Well first of all i have to apologize for the fact that this review wont be as good as the other for 2 reasons, first i read some comments and i dont want to be repeating too much, and second after listening to Dreamland Chronicles - Evermore i dont really know what else to say about you xD
You once again showed me that you master panning in an amazing way, i would have to say that the way how you pan and choose the effects of your instruments is your most characteristic feature.
As for the song itself once again you started of great and hooked me with the intro, very dreamy indeed. I love 2:47, that scale with a middle eastern sound that you used on the guitar is really awesome.
This is another very solid piece from you but i disagree that it beats Dreamland.
Another excellent piece, congrats SkyeWintrest!

[~SW~ Dreamland Chronicles]

Your song starts out great, the delay and instruments you use are very dreamy and gets us on the right mood and completely caught by the song, as the song progresses it amazes me how you are able to add so much different things to the mix and keep each one of them flawlessly clear.
At 2:05 starts maybe the part of the song i like the least, although you made an incredible part on the brass or flute not sure which one is it, i feel that the percussion is a bit too much "in your face" style and i also dont like the background sound that sounds like a phased pad or something.
At 2:37 the songs totally gets my attention once again, it gets darker all of the sudden without me even noticing you making the change and i personally think the chimes work as a chilling element that elevates the spookiness of that part even further.
At 4:00 the song returns to the dreamy style that i love, and you nailed those guitar effects perfectly they send a strong dreamy feeling. Whenever the bass enters the song it is amazing, my congrats to that too.
So with that being said you obviously gained my respect and a new fan, your work is amazing!
Keep it going SkyeWintrest!

[Radiobrain]

The song is pretty nice, i feel it would do really good in a game and possibly in some movies, it is really smooth and the "instruments" are quite interesting , it gets maybe a a bit too monotonous since it doesn't change much for most of its duration, the start is really nice and im only a bit disappointed with the fact that the intro is not really an intro but the song itself if im explaining myself correctly.
Overall nice job Plunder!

[Parting]

The song works very well in its simplistic way, at first the effect you had in the voice seemed a bit exagerated but after listening to it for a while it actually fits the song pretty well.
The vocals however even though they are a bit hidden behind the effects are still noticeably out of tune for most of the song, your voice however has a nice tone and would fit perfectly in the song.
Redo the vocals carefully and you have a nice chilled out track here!

LemonCrush responds:

Thanks for the critique, seriously! Much appreciated.

I hide behind effects because I'm not a good singer, and I kind of hate the way my voice sounds on tape...

I know the vocals are out of tune. And I hesitated releasing this for that reason. But the focus of the song is the feeling/lyrical content, not my performance, you know? My rationale for releasing it was "Well, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix were bad singers too" lol. I'm working on it though.

Thanks for the critique. I really, really, really appreciate it.

[Cozy Wednesday Morning]

Really smooth and creative. the instruments were picked and mixed in an amazing way and everything fits together just perfect.

BlazingDragon responds:

Thanks! Hopefully my professor agrees with you, lol. :)

[Gangnam Style Remix]

Its by playing with our weaknesses that we become stronger and surely composing out of our comfort zone is hard like hell but also fun!
I thing its really hard to remix Gangnam Style without vocals and you did what you could :D
As for the song itself it has all been said by Buoy.

Step responds:

Yeah, I finished this in one night while really tired, since there's a very strict deadline, so that probably didn't make it sound much better. And yeah going out of your comfort zone can be really awesome sometimes. In this case it wasn't but that's probably because I was told to make this rather than have the freedom to make it myself, so rather than willingly make music I was pretty much just following orders. Ah well, it'll be worth it in the end anyway.

Thanks for reviewing man.

[Lego House (Cover)]

I didn't even knew you were a musician as well, this is really good stuff, both your playing and your singing are great!
Jesus is there a thing you cant do?

[Get yo money up]

Lots of potential to be a really cool rap song, lets see how it turns out on the full version.

[Hilltop Mausoleum-REMAKE-]

Never played the game but this sounds really awesome, and from what i heard over on youtube you did quite an arrangement here.
You are 1 year younger than i am so i can totally relate to those feelings of nostalgia towards 90's games soundtracks....ill never forget them!
