Back-From-Purgatory's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cybernetic Meadow]

Very cool

I'm not much of a trance type listener... but when I listen to technoy type stuff... this is the kind of stuff I like listening too.
Awsome stuff man, keep it up.

CyriltheWolf responds:

Thanks man, I tried to go for hte technoy stuff I like too, and this was that. I actually am on a message board for Psytrance and they said that it was more like Psychedelic RPG Music. ^_^ Oh well, it's still trance.

[You Taste Like Rice Pudding]

Simple but good

Aside from a slip up here and there (Extra strings sounding), and there was a short part near the beginning that sounded a little off time.... I like this one. I'm a big believer that something doesn't have to be complicated to be catchy/good.
Near the end kinda reminded me of oldschool Evil-Dog.
Keep it up.

Scribbler responds:

Thank you, I also believe that something does not need to be complex to be catchy. Whenever i begin recording a song, I always wonder if it's something people will want to listen to. I always try to make a tune that will get people moving or humming along to. I dunno, it's a personal thing.

[The Poo Poo Song]

Lol

I have to say the best part of that song was the "Shizite!" after you broke the e-string... Flippin' hilarious. And I have to say too, that once you get past the chords, the melody does sound very familiar. Sounds kinda Greenday-ish.

Scribbler responds:

Haha yeah. This actually wasn't going to be a song. It was more of a test, hence the raw quality. Yeah, it was a pretty easy song. Thanks for the review.

[Glitch Fighter]

Toe tapping goodness

I love the beat in this one, stutter, glitch, whatever you call it... I love that kind of sound.
The "scratches" before the sample thrown in kinda threw me off a bit though, seemed a little out of place. I know what you were trying to do though.

[Ninja Theme]

Ninjay no... catchy yes

I was thinking of some kind of sneaking music when I saw the title, this does seem a little up beat for Ninjas, but it is catchy. Guess I could see a ninja listening to this in his down time, lol.

I really know nothing about electronically made music, but it's catchy.

[alive inside]

Trippy

Sounds good, nice little melody, I like it.

Now about your question of digi-delay from my other review... Can't review again on same song, and I don't use the boards, so I'd never see a reply, lol:

Digital Delay pedals are used for just what the name suggests... Delaying sound... Basically an echo with various settings, speeds, volume, etc...

When I said 5+ seconds of hold time, most delay pedals come with a "record" feature, usually called hold. I've got a Boss Digital Delay DD-6 pedal, 5 seconds hold time.

When you use the hold feature, it records whatever you play while keeping the pedal pressed for 5 seconds. Make up a quick chord progression that can fit in 5 seconds. Once done, release the pedal, and what you recorded will play over and over again in a loop. Makes for easy improvisation practice. Just record chords, then improvise overtop of the loop. While 5 seconds isn't much time, it's enough for short riffs in which you can come up with small solos overtop of.

It's an awsome feature, should look into getting yourself one... I personally, reccommend the Boss DD-6, it's an awsome pedal.

zerofalse responds:

hmm, interesting. can so you could get this at like any guitar store?.. yeah ive been thinking of getting something like a pedal. i used one at my friends house and their pretty cool. thx for the review and advice. ill probably rocking with a brand new pedal soon =) thx again man

[School is a place to burn]

Uhhh...

Maybe it's just the fact that there isn't much in this song but a couple riffs.. And the fact that I don't really like vocals that just sound like you're trying to rip up your vocal cords. But I really think you could've put some more effort into this song.

[Sun of Drakhan]

Pretty cool

Actually it kinda reminds me of some of Ministry's stuff. Love how it flows.

[2ndSolo]

Well...

I love the everything up to the point where you stop palm muting. Then it just sounds like you're hitting random frets all the way up and down the neck, sounds more like you're trying to show off your finger speed than putting in effort to make it sound good. Keep up the good work though.

[Filter]

Meh

It's ok, I've heard a lot of songs that sound like this though. Sounds kinda bland or flat for metal actually.
