Bosa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Joys of Childhood -Fixed-]

Good

A very nice and subtle track. That constant beat sounds like something in Mid-Asia, but it's good enough for my tastes. When that solo piccolo or whatnot comes in, it really does start to sound Mid-Asian.

I believe the percussion in this piece is the main stand in the whole story, but it's like I've heard all of it before earlier in the track.

Overall, I believe this is a solid tune and a good listen. I'm sure it will appeal to many.

[Dreams of Above]

Good Use of Lead

This was pure hit! I really like that drumbeat you developed.

Great work, MazeMaster. I hope to be seeing more from you.

Epitaph64 responds:

Thanks, you can count on that ^_^

[Airng Ambiance]

Great

Kinda like an alarm going off at first, and then it messes up or something. This is like a psychotic adventure to me. I'm going through all sorts of things like classic broadcasts of a fallout or that I'm in space floating around motionless. You may find this odd, yet it is what I see while listening to this song.

Really great ambient, overall. I don't see much room for improvement.. you've already got the thing in the clear.

[nurturing nature]

Great Ambient!

I can actually imagine myself sitting in a lobby or something, bored out of my mind. Then, all the sudden, I am lifted out and a montage of everyday life interrupts the nature of my boredom. Going through pixels and curls of machinery, I've finally found what I've been looking for, and when I reach out to grab it.. oof! Back in the lobby. Seems like it was nothing more than my imagination.

I really like this track, and sometimes repetitive can be good if your mind is somewhere else. Possibly when it is focused on solving a puzzle in a flash game or watching pretty lights. The only problem was that it didn't loop. It would have been 100% great if it did. But, overall, it is indeed a solid track.

Also, b0z0 is nothing more than a poor individual looking for some publicity. By his actions, he can't be more than 13 or 14 years old. So, it's best just to ignore idiots. I guess people looking for entertainment in their own general way can be offensive to many. Especially somebody like b0z0. His ways of entertainment is pretty silly, if you ask me. All he needs is a good ass bustin'and apparently, his parents don't know how to do that.

But, enough about him. I believe you have strong potential in your music, and I enjoy your music a lot. Good luck on your future projects. If you need anything, just tell me.

Good Work,

snayk responds:

Hey, thanks a lot for the review! I'm really glad you liked it.

I did get lost in this song... Somehow, the melody is haunting to me, and I feel that explains the repetition.

I never considered looping the track, as I'm not very big on loops, but I suppose it's a good idea (considering the repetition), and maybe I'll consider making a loop out of this track.

Thanks a lot for the great review :D

[(-=<Rush>=-)]

I Like It!

That drum beat is what really sets this song apart from the others. This is one of your greater tracks in your arsenal, I believe.

However, there is a part in here with a phazy lead that I could have sworn that I've heard somewhere before. Perhaps it is a preset in the VST that you're using, and I probably heard the VST before. It might even be a soundfont that I've heard before. I don't know.. might be my imagination.

Anyways, I love that drumbeat and it has its own kickass lead that keeps it going.

Good Work,
Bosa

R0tt3n-Appl3 responds:

you probably have heard it before. i used a premade soundfront from sytrus on flstudio

[Egyptian Experiment]

Sigh..

Not a bad piece, for an expirement. I really like those well balanced drums. The melody could use a little bit of improvement, but overall, it was a solid track I believe.

b0z0 is nothing more but another bored individual looking for some publicity. I'll five you, after you've been beaten like a pulp by zerovoters. If you seem well, I would suggest just ignoring idiots and stick with good artists and become a high-man in the community, it will do some good. Good luck, my friend.

mr-jazzman responds:

you speak truth my friend =) good advice, good advice. i know he's just looking for some attention, but it really pisses me off that someone would actually do that. i mean, i just started this profile and look what he's done! oh well...hopefully the true quality will come out and not what the reviews say, ya know? can't always judge a book by its cover, eh? =/

EDIT 2010: Damn, looking back I had no CLUE that you reviewed one of my very first songs lol. That's ridiculous! I didn't have any knowledge in mastering whatsoever in producing this, and I had no clue that FL was generic. Wow, and now look how far I've come, just in 2 years. Because of people like you, I've become better, so thank you Bosa!

By the way, I'm in the final stages of this Deathmatch thing, and I'm hoping to take Gravey down. That would be awesome, as he's a producing behemoth; it'll be quite a David-and-Goliath story if I succeed. Let's hope so, eh? The spirit of your production is what I've got.

[Christmas in Afghanistan]

Ah, That's a Good Fellow

I am quite familiar with this VST. I often use Garitan Jazz when I'm feeling the blues a'coming. However, I've never actually used this one. Please, if you find the time, tell me what brass instruments is included. I'm really looking for French Horn ripping sounds.

As MaestroRage included, I can't find anything wrong with this song either. It sounds Arabic in a sense, and you managed to keep that Christmas feel without going overboard with the Arabic style. "Heh, I like this one!" the big oaf bear said.

Oh, one more thing.. if you ever need anything, remember that I'm here to help you and protect you from the evil zero voting bastards.

Always Happy to Help a Friend,
Bosa

[[TMM43] WTF?!?]

Hello, TMM43

I'm not used to techno, but I actually like this song. Really original and that piano added some momentum to the track. That melody the lead plays is what really makes this song so original. There is one bad side, however. I would have liked to hear harder drums and more bass. Sometimes the song is just too soft and needed some extra boosts.

Always to help a friend,
Bosa

TMM43 responds:

Ha, thanks a lot! Yeah, after listening to this song, and reading reviews, I notice that the beat as well as other things can be rather faint at times...
There wasn't a beat throughout the whole song because of clipping! I spent a good long time trying to fix it, but to no avail... I'll fool around with it more.

thanks for your review.

[Coffee Machine Bad For Ears]

OH NO!!

I was too late. The zero voters have come with their heavy cavalry of zero colons. I'm too vote five to help you get back up, but I fear all is lost.

Truly sorry, friend. This was actually a good song too. Reminds me of a fast montage of every day life in the house.

Always happy to help a friend,
Bosa

LfunkeyA responds:

no probs. thanx for the review. life is an endless battle :D.

[_-={The Journey}=-_]

Yes, MaestroRage, Yes

Heh, the first segment sounds like one of my past works, "They Fly, They Land." It also reminds me of the Black Hawk Down score, "Leave No Man Behind." But, these things happen when beauty strikes a man's mind. It has happened to me before and I probably didn't even realize it at the time. But, it's nothing to worry about. Just keep making music and you'll be fine.

Let us move it along..

A journey is something I have taken many times in my life. Even if it's in the mind or in the world, we all must come to decisions that may or may not end our long journey. If the end is nigh, then it was meant to be. All things happen for a reason, and the things that do not happen were not meant to happen. It is as simple as it comes from my mouth. Everything you do is planned, I believe and a journey is something that will help you understand this way better.

This is a good theme than most for a journey. I like the bending of the choir and instruments used fairly well in this tune. It brings out some clarity in the picture. Kinda reminds me of Vietnam.. don't ask because I don't know.

Excellent Use of Choir
Use of Strings to Make Statement
Excellent Use of Native and Foreign Instruments
MaestroRage Drum Usage
Good Show of Brass

All in all, a plus to me.

-Bosa

p.s.: This has been the first 10 vote I've used in years. Honestly, anyways.

MaestroRage responds:

ah! I can't believe I forgot to respond to this review Bosa! My apologies my good sir, I did not intend to leave you hanging like this!

I must listen to your song "They fly, they land" because if they are similar, I would love to live in it.

I believe the Vietnamese imagery may come from the Erhu violin you heard, which is an oriental instrument. It's a brilliant instrument, it has only one string! Yet it holds so much power, it's simply a wonderful tool!

Thank you for the review Bosa, it means a great deal to me. I am glad you liked it ^^.
