MeisterMach5's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[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.

[Scarlet Dark Shadow]

I'll be honest...
This scared the crap out of me. I had to look over my shoulder to make sure some sort of Demon boss wasn't behind me :P

Darknessbreaker responds:

Well at least there were no giant demon behind ya, huh? ^^

[SSJ3 - Kalos Elite Four]

It sounds very dark. It almost makes the Elite Four seem insane! Lol.

Shiverwar responds:

I think the Gen V Elite Four was a bit kooky. xD Thank you for the review!

[Midna's Lament - 8bit]

While it's an interesting idea, I feel that chiptune just doesn't really fit with Midna's Lament. I don't know; I might be listening to it from the wrong angle. I'll give it a long listen and see if it'll grow on me over time.

What works is the bell-like instrument. If anything, it fits the mood the best.
What doesn't work is the instrument that replaced the piano. I can't explain it, but it feels... weird. In some places it feels like it gets cut off. I wish I could give a better in-depth analysis of it, but I just can't shake this feeling that it doesn't belong.

Overall, it was a good attempt at making a modern Zelda song sound like an authentic Famicom composition. I believe these four stars belong to you, good sir.

MF-Greth responds:

Thank you! Your criticisms are well thought out and much appreciated~

[Spirit Of Clouds]

Ah... that was nice. It made me want to fall asleep (in a good way, I assure you). I wanted the music to take me somewhere magical.

Vargard responds:

Thank you. I hope you found that place :)

[Crimson Crisis]

This is one of the only good Strawberry Crisis remixes I've heard in a long time!

Darknessbreaker responds:

Whoa, thanks a lot! Thats encouraging! At the moment i'm sitting on another Oldschool-Touhou-Theme-Remix...stuff. It'll take much time but it will also be as nice as Crimson Crisis. Hopefully xD.

[Chaos]

That was freaking intense...
I could definitely see it fitting with a game called "Rockets Fcking Everywhere".
Or it could be a boss theme for a boss that shoots rockets fcking everywhere.

Pitfall responds:

Haha thanks! Mission accomplished I guess ;P

[Castlevania "Simon the castle"]

I like it! The synths and the particular version you chose to do are perfect for each other.

Only qualms I have with this is that it isn't a true loop, as it doesn't follow up after the last note.

Other than that, this is perfect. I look forward to more of your work in the future! Funny, considering I would never of found this if I hadn't just recently uploaded a new song of my own XD

Strange how someone on my page also did the exact same thing. Anyways, good luck in the future, mate!

GinSauzo responds:

ahahahaha yeah brother XD hihihi.... thanks mate! :)
