Bitbeak's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Prélude on Laud [Pangea]]

Lovely playing and great recording quality. Not usually a goto genre for me, but this is super pretty :)

Thomastique responds:

Thank you so much!

[Carousel of Ghosts]

Wish there was a little more to it but what's there is pretty darn cool. It's dense but it all works together nicely.

Also, not super relevant at all, but that intro buzz really reminded me of the the background fuzz from All Hail West Texas.

ConnorDeVaux responds:

Never heard of All Hail West Texas lo. Yeah, I was just messing around with some stuff. Nothing I really wanted to put a lot into really or make anything out of. Thanks a lot though, maybe next time I'll mess with it longer :).

[life (demo)]

Lovely chord progression, and some of the better playing I've heard on your stuff. Really liked it.

[The Fall Of London]

I didn't think I was gonna like it at first, but the dissonant synth that starts ~27 seconds is damned perfect. Great work, it builds out so nicely.

[untitled demo]

I like the sound of it, especially that outro. Just that I couldn't make out a single word of the vocals, but maybe that's intentional.

FOUNDDEADINLA responds:

i would post the lyrics but they are kinda cringe, so i guess its intentional :)

(edit. cringe is fucking dead lmao, but still stands:
I've got visions of some powder in the kitchen haunting me
cant have fun no more the aftermath is grizzly
i cant bear this fucking life no more
cant tear a cell from living flesh
I'm testing all hypotheses i think I'm just a coward

got no demons all the books i read debunk them [wack af]
suffer from an overactive re-imagination
i just wanna see my life from another point of view
i might freak out like Veruca, downward spiral down the garbage chute

[Erins]

This is lovely, man.

[Bridges (Climate City)]

This is gorgeous. Moody with a beautiful instrumental. Also some of my favorite lyrics from any of your tracks.

Great work, man.

ConnorDeVaux responds:

It is pretty moody haha. Thanks! That means a lot for a very short song haha

[conversations]

This is great, like it's kind of all over but I love each turn it takes.

[DoctorNoSense - Game Over (Vista Sounds Remix)]

First time hearing about the original and I think you did it justice. Like how you take it in a softer almost lounge-y direction.

Vista-Sound13 responds:

"I think you did it justice" I am not sure that what means, can you clarify?

"Like how you take it in a softer almost lounge-y direction." Yep, that was the intention, and I am glad you enjoyed that.

Thanks, buddy; cheers! :D

[Homesick for Hell (Feat Don Martin)]

This is wild. Somewhere between an 80's halloween jam and something muse would have done early on. Great job on the vocals, it verges on camp but never feels insincere.

RichardCynic responds:

Thanks! I love muse!
