chaosdrakath's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lemmings!!]

very nice

something about this piece that i like is that it hops from one genre of music to another(or at least that what i heard) going for techno to dnb to pop to a very cheerful rock

ChronoNomad responds:

That's a fairly accurate assessment, I'd say. I enjoy a good cross-genre excursion as much as the next person. :) Thanks for the review!

dendrago

no wonder he's devoted his page to you and this piece... wow

ChronoNomad responds:

I guess that means you like it, too. This is definitely the preferred favorite of Newgrounders everywhere, and not without a good reason. I guess that means that I should make more music like this...

[Dr. Mario (Fever)]

nice bit o funk

while yet another nice piece in someplaces it sounds a little... um... how do i put it

discombobulated, it just sounds a little jumbled

ChronoNomad responds:

Discombobulated is a good word, but I guess I'm not really sure how it applies here. I'm gonna have to say that that's just the way this piece of music is. The original is kind of...odd...so, it stands to reason that a remix will be a bit odd, as well. Probably. ^_^;

[-Dreamscape-]

wow

this is just one of those holy sh$t pieces, simply wonderful
the wide variety of beats in this can be compared to the wide variety of things you see in a dream... hence the name i suppose

ChronoNomad responds:

I'm rather partial to Dreamscape, myself. I really managed to pull off a very ephemeral, dreamlike atmosphere somehow. It's just one of those pieces of music that, once it was finished, I sat back and simply listened a few times, thinking 'Did I really just make this?'

Inspiration is a force far beyond human comprehension. The best thing to do is not question it; just go with the flow and see where it takes you. Forcing the music just never sounds as good for some reason.

[Tetris (A-Type)]

remix of doooooom

freakin epic remix of a timeless piece put on a timeless game... no freakin wonder you call yourself chrono nomad your all over the spectrum

ChronoNomad responds:

What can I say? My own body of work is as eclectic as my personal tastes. :)

Thanks for the encouraging review! Timeless is a great descriptor, especially since I believe that humanity will be playing incarnations of Tetris for decades - maybe even centuries - to come. It's just that good.

[JENOVA]

eh meh shmeh

while i can tell there is a lot of work put into this i'm just not feeling much... well... anything, i'm not getting anything from it which is weird because from most of your work i can feel, see, imagine something

ChronoNomad responds:

That makes me a little sad to hear, but I guess that can happen with a remix like this. Besides, there are so many versions out there that the portal (and most likely the world) is frankly saturated by them. What is mine in the grand scheme of things? :|

Ah, well...it was a fun piece to remix so I can't complain. It was one of those tunes from FFVII that just wouldn't leave my mind alone until I made this. Thanks for being so honest in your review.

[-Gravitation-]

hmm

personally when i first looked at the title i was expecting something a little darker... but now that i'm listening to this i can feel a bit of romantic techno coming in which you made work quite nicely
for this one its two thumbs up and a chocolate chip cookie with no raisins cus there evil

ChronoNomad responds:

Agree. Especially about the raisins. Why must they spoil perfectly good cookies with raisins? Yuck.

This piece isn't all that dark, but it does have a bit of a techno vibe. Thanks for another cool review!

[-Swirling Sands-]

persian techno... nice

only thing i can say is that the horn sounds like its coming from a different room, clear that issue and one may just invent perfection

ChronoNomad responds:

Yeah, the Persian Techno aspect does seem to go over well with folks! :D

I'm not really sure what to say about the sound complaint...mainly because I didn't actually use any horn or brass instruments. There's flute, various strings, a healthy dose of choir, some harp near the end, and even some organ thrown in for good measure.

[-Raindrop Boogie-]

please not

i dont know much about jazz but here goes
when i think of jazz i cant imagine something this high pitched (at least the whole way through) other than that a very nice piece
screw grammer

ChronoNomad responds:

Aw, but Jazz Piano has to have a lower octave for the main Jazz progression while the harmonies exist at a higher octave. To be fair, the melody line does have different parts that switch between the 3rd, 4th, and 5th octaves, sometimes going higher and at other times lower. I guess it's a good thing I didn't decide to go up into C6 range, huh?

Anyway, thanks for the honest review! I personally enjoy the varied range, but I can understand how it wouldn't be for everyone. I'm glad that you still liked it so much even though the high notes aren't really your thing.

[-Crescent Moon Rag-]

curse you dendrago

ripped the words from my mouth before i even thought of them

ChronoNomad responds:

Great minds really do think alike! :D
