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.

[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.
