Twistamafoo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lost Odyssey Medly]

Really good

When I started listening, Final Fantasy immediately popped into my head. Then I read that Nobuo Uematsu did the soundtrack, and was like "ah..". :) He's my idol. So, I really like this. The violin is beautiful. I wish I had an xbox 360, this sounds like it would be a very emotional game. Might have to buy the soundtrack now :o

[The Chase (Superscenic OST)]

Oh mah gawd

I listened to this and I jizzed in my pants. This is fantastic.

[Epic String Quintet]

ahh

Yeah, I agree with Rwinius on this one. The violin should have flowed more rather than cutting off so quickly. I really wanted to like it, but it got a bit repetitive hearing the same bass parts and a melody that kept cutting short. And weird ending. But I just love this kind of music and these instruments.. so *cough*

[String Quartet]

Hm.. yeah

Pretty much in total agreement with emocidalqueer. I'm a fan of string quartets.. so I might be a bit biased. I liked it a bit more. Though, I am definitely not a fan of the ending either :P Totally changed the mood.. and yeah it just sounded weird to end like that. The rest was cool, though.

[Choral Cue]

Nice

Works very well as a mood-setter, or just something to play in the background of a movie/game/whatever, as it's a bit slow and boring to me on its own. But it's a choir, so you can't really go crazy with that, huh? :P

[Sorrow Strings]

Hm.

Harmonies were good at first, but then you had a couple bad ones which made me cringe. Also, super short.

[Pizzicato Boredom]

Ehh..

Liked it at first, but then it got pretty repetitive and um.. just empty sounding. There was too much silence, and not much going on. There were a maximum of two instruments playing at the same time, and half the time only one instrument. Doing this doesn't allow many possibilities.

[Solus- Last March]

oooh :D

I like this a lot. The parts where the strings come in remind me of some of Joe Hisaishi's work (composer for Hayao Miyazaki films (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke)), especially a track from spirited away. And the melody at around 1:06 reminds me of FFX. :P Yeah, everything reminds me of something. But that's a good thing. I really really like this :o

SolusLunes responds:

Wow, being compared to Joe Hisaishi is flattering. I've always liked his stuff.

[The Purest of Winters]

Fantastic

The string melody sounds really familiar... Beautifully crafted, though.
