MeisterMach5's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[SSJ3 - Apparitions/Night]

That flute?

It blew my mind.

Shiverwar responds:

That review?

It made me smile.

[Spellbound]

Sounds absolutely perfect for an RPG. I love what you did with just... everything. Great choice of instruments, perfect tempo, and amazing composition overall.

I look forward to what you have to make next.

Krichotomy responds:

Thanks! I've been rather under-the-weather, and not in the mood to work on music, but maybe something will surface sooner or later.

[Fleeing the Hidden Palace]

I love the way you handled this. I'm gonna have to listen to this a whole lot and take some notes, because this is something incredible.

Krichotomy responds:

Thanks! I do wonder if I should have totally dropped out the percussion like I did.

[Tea Leaf Melancholy]

This was frightening at first... I felt like I was lost and couldn't find my way. But then as time went on, it became more and more hopeful, and I found what I was looking for. Excellent choice of instruments, and the pacing is quite magical. But for some reason this song felt really nostalgic to me, and I couldn't figure out why for several minutes as I sat here staring at this sentence. I realized that this song reminds me SO MUCH of Chrono Trigger. I feel it would fit absolutely perfectly in that game. Everything is just right for it.

Krichotomy responds:

I'm glad you "found what you were looking for", and I hope the looping nature of this piece didn't make you lost over and over again. :P Perhaps it reminds you of Chrono Trigger because this piece is partly based on a piece (To Zanarkand) composed by a guy (Nobuo Uematsu) who contributed to the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. I appreciate your compliments.

[SSJ3 - Strawberry Crisis]

Honesty, I don't know how to describe this. If I could, the easiest way would be to say it sounds sort of Oriental with the instrument selection. Overall though, this was a joy to listen to, since there aren't very many good Strawberry Crisis remixes out there (from my knowledge). Only real issue here is the looping; it doesn't feel too smooth.

Anyways, this pretty sweet.

Shiverwar responds:

As I told Darknessbreaker, I did this in a different progression, but it's generally the same song. And yeah, the looping may not be very smooth, I personally blame the program for that one. As for the oriental sounds, you are correct, I did, in fact, use some instruments of that origin. I felt it would fit in well with the song. I wanted something that fit Touhou, but also could fit in well with other game franchises, so I guess you could say I was also partially inspired by Dynasty Warriors. Thanks for your review, man, and I wish I could work on some music right now.

[Touhou6EoSD-S3-ChineseTea]

One of my favorite songs from EoSD, and I must say, you did it justice.
I love that this song still keeps that lovely Oriental feel, but also has a good blend of Rock as well. I think ZUN would be proud.

[U.N Owen Was Her?]

A fantastic Orchestral version! I don't hear very many Orchestral U.N. Owens, and most of the time, they miss the magic of Flandre.
But you nailed it! Some moments its serious, and some moments are playful; exactly how U.N. Owen Was Her should be like.

[Ice Temple]

So atmospheric, just like Metroid should be! It makes me want to go explore a lost ancient civilization out in the dark reaches of space, since, after all, that is what Metroid is about.
Good work here!

[Stone Tower Temple (Zelda)]

Sounds like something Nintendo would do, if they ever recreated the Stone Tower Temple.
I love the Brass in this one most of all though. I can't describe it; it just feels perfect.

MF-Greth responds:

Hey, thanks!

[SSJ3 - Nuclear Fusion]

It's pretty badass, that's for sure!
That guitar was an excellent choice. It was perfect for a song like Nuclear Fusion. My only gripe with the guitar is that during some sections (like around 1:15) it feels like it gets slightly cut off.
Drums were pretty powerful as well, and the bass complemented it nicely.
The piano was a nice touch; I think that without it, the song wouldn't of felt as Touhou(ish?).
Good work! I always want to listen to your stuff, SSJ.

Shiverwar responds:

Wow, I'm late to the review table, aren't I? Well, the piano is usually the star in any of my mixes or originals. It's a nice base for the entire song, if you ask me.
