squidly's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Second Wind - Battle2]

I can't really remember my reasoning for NOT using this music. Maybe it was that it didn't fit? But it does. And it was a great track, I just wish I could change the past, ya know? I also regret not using your opening music, but it was an issue with how the game loaded the music - it came last. So halfway through the loading screen you'd just get shot with music. Also, some people would rather have something not play in the BG, especially low speed guys who load multiple things at once, like I do when I'm in Egypt.

So yea ._.

NikeTheSword responds:

Nah man, this version lacks 'kick'. It's a good thing you challenged me a bit!

[Second Wind - Boss theme]

You know, I never thought I thanked you enough for the music in this game. I kind of feel terrible for putting in a mute button, but you know, people are people.

But really, the boss's would've been crap if it weren't for your music, it made an empty game feel complete :)

NikeTheSword responds:

Don't mention it, mate! Can't make a good OST without the game!
Still hoping for the mobile version ;D

[[KgZ] You Can't Stop Me!]

This song...

Amazing.

Has that retro early 2000's feel that I dig.

[Sleep Wrapped in Love ~ T]

Beautiful.

We need this in a time like this, my beloved city is on lock-down as the city goes into an indefinite night. It's light outside but I can't see the sun. What's going on?

I needed a song like this, we all do.

Troisnyx responds:

Britain needs these songs badly too.... the stories that remind us what good there is around us, the good we can't see. HFX herself told me that when she wrote this song originally, she wrote this for a fan's son -- but also to remind herself that in the midst of her struggles and toil and tears, she would continue making music just because there is beauty and goodness to be shared.

I was looking for a simple piece myself on the AP, but I don't know what in particular made me pick Sleep Wrapped in Love. Perhaps it was because of her fan's newborn son. I, too, want to be reminded of the good that is inside, and the good that is around me.

[Fall Fields]

My favorite moment is when the Piano comes in.

Unfortunately, the intro is very repetitive, I was aware of this when I put it in my game and realized most people wouldn't hear the rest of this incredible song.

LimeDisciple responds:

Aye, wish I knew you were using this one in your game! I could've made an edited version for you.

[Windbreaker (2)]

For whatever reason, this song reminded me of MarbleHornets during the intro.

Anyways, after using this in my game, I quite frankly could not imagine it without it. It created a beautiful moment, eery and quiet, but also with a beat that builds, that made it perfect for the scene I was trying to showcase.

LimeDisciple responds:

Yeah man, I'm happy you used it. Thanks again.

[Second Wind - Final Boss]

I love this, it was such a fitting end theme, honestly Nike, you outdid yourself.

NikeTheSword responds:

No, you outdid yourself with the game, I just compliment it with the tracks! :D

[Starcraft Pylon Mix]

Py-Py-Pylons.

[JBI - A hero's Journey]

Beautiful

I am honest here, of the many audio tracks I've seen over the years here on NG, of which I've seen a lot, nothing I've seen have I ever called "Beautiful."

This is it, no song has ever actually set so many emotions so profoundly at once, your music is like the work of a master puppeteer, moving the hearts of his listeners.

Be proud, someone of your quality deserves to go pro.
