BenTibbetts's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Orr- Colony]

Satisfaction

Kudos, my man! You are so at home in this medium. I love that in all your pieces I've heard (even in those I didn't care for) you are always completely in control of where your music starts, where it's going, and how it gets there--your mastery of form is your greatest strength!

DavidOrr responds:

Thanks Ben! Always a pleasant surprise to see a review by you :)

[Fleeting Session]

Tasteful and beautiful

This is just terrific. I loved the way it fit "Snowball Target". Favorited and on iPod.

IntricateSimplicity responds:

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[Brownies]

Mmmmm good.

Brownies... that may be the best name for a song ever written. This is good stuff. Interesting idea putting those cellos in at the end, quite an original track.

[Ukelele De Chocobo]

Refreshing

Haha... what a nice remix. That melody works extremely well in this context, maybe because of its simple rhythms. Sweet nostalgia for us FF fans.

[Expanding universe]

Bigger is better

I really enjoyed that from beginning to end. The title is well-chosen; it really does sound like something is growing and maturing. Certain portions of it are too muddy for my tastes such as the middle portion with the low strings. Consider playing with different ranges a bit more in the interest of variety, putting some stuff up an octave or two.

thanks, ill keep that in mind for later songs.

[-Glorious morning-]

Simply wonderful.

This is really glorious music. I listen to this at least once every two days. Favorited.

[Oath to Order Remix]

Interesting.

Interesting and intricate. I'm actually completely unsure whether I prefer the slow or fast sections, they make for very different effects. The entry of the beat was strangely sudden. Maybe you could have the beat come in slowly, like the way you end the song except in reverse, and accelerate to the tempo you have for the second half.

[Chrono Trigger - 600AD *REMIX*]

mrixe taht

Great remix. The only thing I didn't care much for was the ending, which seemed like something of an afterthought... maybe you could just loop it? Sadly I missed out on Chrono Trigger... I'll play it someday.

[Clouds In Summer]

Nice.

I love it! Yes, it is noticeable. You really have a lot of material crammed into these 2 1/2 minutes and listening to the whole thing is sort of a trip. The end is really incredibly uplifting. Favorited.

[*Illuminate*]

woot

Loops well. Very pretty when the strings come in; you could consider repeating the string section. Love the bittersweet chord at 0:20, also at 0:38.

MicroVirus6 responds:

thank you so much! but i think this will just stay as it is, it was sort of a tester to see if i should start making more songs of this type
