Bitbeak's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[How's It Been?]

This is bliss, man. Love the vibe you hit. I didn't see that switch up coming midway through at all, the tempo play is really well handled.

Xorberax responds:

thank you!

[The Ultimate Weapon]

Not usually my genre, but this is great man. That beat rules. I don't understand the screaming man child comments, but I'm happy that you did or did not use them.

Joe-Mega responds:

That genuinely makes my day to hear :)

And yeah Im glad I did or didn't use that screaming man sample XD

[Merry-Go-Down]

I'm a sucker for muted picking but it helps when the song's well written and produced too.

Like the touch of that ringing organ like synth through the whole thing.

ConnorDeVaux responds:

Haha yeah it's just my melodica with a little effect put over it, thanks a lot :)

[AIM - Our Life.]

This is really sweet. That second half really evokes something kind of fantasy like that works well with the painting.

L-Mity responds:

From the second part, it was necessary to change the atmosphere. As Our lives are always changing. That was soo hard to change it to melody line. It was something I was worried about a lot, but I'm glad that you were satisfied.

Thanks.

[Plankton: Plots & Plans]

This is so out there and groovy, I can't say I've ever listened to surf rock electronica but it's kinda rad. Feels like this would be plankton's boss theme music or something.

EezySeven responds:

Yeah, I wasn't intending it to sound like surf rock at first as I wanted it to be more like western rock. But I guess surf rock was technically partially inspired from western rock so I guess it makes sense.

[Gentle Life]

A nice breather, man. You'd make a hell of a video game soundtrack.

popolamusic responds:

haha that'd be a dream come true! thanks man, you rule.

[Moloch Eats Connecticut]

Still my favorite track off the EP. Everything just comes together so dang nicely.

floorboardofficial responds:

Thanks man! Really glad you dig this one!

[Kill The Child]

Idk why but the vocals on this remind me of metric... either way really like the guitar tones you get on this.

My only gripe might be that the beat’s just a little repetitive but not enough to detract overall.

floorboardofficial responds:

Thanks for the feedback! And yeah I've heard the metric comparison from a few people now. I must say, I do like Synthetica, and I think it was an influence in the back of my head. And yes! Repetitive indeed. I need to work on developing more complex structures. I tried to quite a bit with this one, and I just couldn't make it happen. Everything I tried just sucked. Sometimes that's just how it goes I suppose. Perhaps I just need to be a bit more patient with it.

[Motown Ghost Town]

Really really cool instrumental, some m83 vibes but with a touch of psychrock to the chord choices. Over all just a really cool track.

Maybe consider including the lyrics in the description because some of it's tricky to understand in the mix.

floorboardofficial responds:

Glad you liked it man! Psychrock-M83 was pretty much the exact feel I was going for hahaha, so I’m glad that came through. But thanks for the feedback, and I’ll definitely add the lyrics when I have a minute!

[I Wrote]

Liked the vocal treatment on this track, it gives it a good pop from the instrumental.

Also love the vibe of whatever reversed..ish sound you've got playing during the bridge portion, it's a gorgeous little moment.

floorboardofficial responds:

Thanks man! That’s the ukulele track that’s reversed. And glad you liked the vocals!
