Bralix's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Glass Soul OST // Whispering Fragility]

oh god this is so icy and I love the little story that goes with it. Thanks for making this so that I might stumble onto it by chance at this odd hour. It is really fitting to my current situation in life at the time and moment of stumbling on it so I'll leave it looping while I lay down for sleep.

Goodnight and thank you friendo ^w^

Tyhond responds:

Aww thank you! Night to you, Friendo! ^w^

[Theme of Worlds III - Carrie St. Dress-Code | 2013]

Cuuuuuuuuuuute >w>
I love the highe pitched dreamy boops and I love the gorgeous way it fades away with tones that are almost slightly dramatic in nature.

Bertn1991 responds:

Aww, thanks so much! This is one of my personal favorites and I'm glad you enjoy >w>

[Here He Comes]

I actually like this honestly, deranged clown music vibes.

epicsonicfan10 responds:

thanks! :D

[Challengers]

Those touhou horns tho
(note: idk if those are literally from zuns soundbank they just make me think of it)

(edit: ok I just peeped your art and now I'm feeling like despite not having messed with touhou in 10 years I was somehow right on instinct about the touhou horns lol)

(edit like 24 hours later: yeah came back to listen and actually read the description this time, turns out Im just extremely dumb, that being said your fake trumpets sound like the real thing honestly)

MrTremoloMeasure responds:

I have recorded and edited several trumpet samples to try to get a trumpet similar to the one ZUN uses, it is not perfect, but I think it can fool a few unsuspecting fans. :D

[8Bit Aquatic Ambiance v2]

I can't believe that in just shy of 6 years no one has so much as commented on this and how its a vast improvement of the first version. I didn't read any of the descriptions at all at first when I came here from someone using your 8bit mix of his world in a joke flash. But when I saw it said "version two" I though "well let me hear the first version real quick."

Just listening to the first version I was thinking some smart arse crap to myself, basically "heh this sounds too detailed to be true 8bit", but seriously thats what I honestly thought on the first version... till I read your description about the Famitracker sequencing program and looked it up. I was unironically thinking about atari style music like a pleb when I thought 8bit, not to say all atari music is garbage in and of itself either per say, but now Im listening to this and Im honestly kind of blown away, especially knowing this could honestly be ported to an actual Famicom technically.

I don't know if you will read this any time soon but when, if ever that you do, just know you have blown a random guy on newgrounds away and also somewhat indirectly schooled me on how good 8bit can technically sound.

VolcansMusic responds:

I'm glad I logged on to Newgrounds today! Thanks for the praises, and I'm glad that you took something away from my ol' uploads.

I don't really touch Famitracker much anymore, but I do still upload music stuff using Mario Paint over on my Youtube Channel from time to time. If you're interested in that at all, come on over! Should still be linked up to my account here.

[We Can Give Up, Quit Together [JAMUARY DAY 11]]

This feels like something I heard set to a kingdom hearts amv in 2009. I swear to you I mean this in a purely complementative way. I am both nostalgic and sleepy cause I meant to go to bed like 3 hours ago. This is really good calm happy vibe stuff though, makes me think of a lot of nostalgic simple happy stuff.

Quarl responds:

The fact that you can recall music from a kingdom hearts amv in 2009 means that it was special to you, and that makes it special to me. The nostalgia feeling might be the rubato. A lot of romantic era composers of the 1800s would use it to convey expressive emotions. It's a classic technique that predates the romantic era :3

[Flight Of The Nyans]

Underrated, invokes a really happy and nostalgic mood for me. Its like late night little big planet games being played on clouds with my friends during a meteor shower but the meteor shower is actually nyan cats with "IMA FIRIN MAH LAZER" guys as the trails. The stars are all various blingeez designs and all the talk is happening over msn messanger. Feels good man =p

Midnights-Ocean responds:

omg that's perfect! Thanks so much. I'm glad you dig the vibe <:3

[Sleeping Dragon]

This is that good kind of sloppy. I imagined your premise in the description animated in a pilotredsun style and it fits nicely. The start is like the dragon waking up and then at 19 seconds some sort of singing maiden or a bard, or both, start trying to put it back to sleep, the deeper tones are like its pissed off and then those tones cut off as if the lullaby attempt is working and its dosing back off. Its short and simple but I like it.

Ixeslegend responds:

Thank you! Exactly what i meant, you explained it so beautiful! I am in tears of joy!

[It's Time To Give Up [JAMUARY DAY 7]]

Is presidential speech a musical subgenre? If not it really should be cause my favorite tracks from you keep featuring that lol

Quarl responds:

I just wish they all spoke into high quality microphones that isolated their speeches from the audiences. Regardless I love sampling JFK, his accent is lovely. Bush had a great writer. I haven't spent much time looking up Trump and Obama, I've always worried that people might assume I'm politically zealous but presidents make great public domain material.

[Good Ol' Days]

I was trying to think of something from my youth when I listened to this on the prompt of the title. Gave me a nice little flash back to when I was 9 and I used to go outside to play when it would be storming and I didn't give a shit. Probably brought on by the stormy sound at :49
Thanks for this piece, really happy stuff here, it sounds like an chip tune super hero theme. It captures the feeling of invincibility some have as children. It hits even harder that this is from so long ago now already. Father time is truly a cruel god, always eating. Making the old recede further and further. But he is always trying to make amends by giving us new things with the future.
Ill stop cause Im getting all ""deep"" but in short this is a pretty cool little hidden gem and thanks for the memories.

vai90 responds:

I'm glad this track was such a positive experience for you! Thanks for sharing! :)
