Tokolos's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thought we were family-TTC CHG]

Thought we were family

I've been listening to this the whole week, it just gets better with each listen.
Finding/hearing new things the whole time, very inspirational and unique.
5/5

Calamaistr responds:

the whole week? me too! :p
Ive got the whole album on my mp3 afterall, i always do that with finished work before i make a CD out of it so i can hear wich instruments may need more volume etc, or things that just dont sound right.

Check back on my newsposts in a while, currently busy with the txt file and someone would make album art for me and when thats done the official CD (quality) album will be added.

Thanks and very glad you like it. :)

[({AA}) The End]

The End

Very emotional ambient piece AA. I think youre getting better with each submission. Not bad for 27 days, he ?
I've been making/playing music for 17 years and I'm quite excited to see what the future holds for you. esp the next couple of years. There's nothing more paramount than the first few steps a muso/artist takes in his/her devotion to music.
Keep on going...
5/5

AphoticAthanasy responds:

I will . I will keep going, no matter what . No matter if there is a cave full of lava, or a hill higher than Mount Everest . My perserverence will shed through any darkness that imposes me . ^_^ Thankyou for such a great review, and it's hidden message connotations .

[The Escapist (unfinished)]

The Escapist

Jesse, you have a great track here. If you just fix the volume( turn it down a bit for control and my speakers sake )
and rework the finer details. Love the drums, progression and overall intention.
Just a bit too loud/distorted.
5/5

Fajita responds:

thanks for the feedback. Like I said in my comments before I its just a work in progress so all problems will be addressed. but thanks.

[Ruining Monotony]

Ruining Monotony

Absolutely stunning work on the drums, persussion, glitch fillers.
Very squarepusher/aphex twin/dj shadow "esque" in places.
I respect all the attention to detail, the surges of intensity, back to minimalist abstract rhythms.
01:20: beautiful melodies / progression.

5/5

InvisibleObserver responds:

Thanks Tokolos, it means a fair bit to get praise from you.

[A Change Of Pace]

A change of pace

Very chilled song, I love the limited palette you used/
I'm instantly taken into the moment, anything can happen ...

At the start make some of the bass/low notes play/fade a little bit longer, to fill up the space, just the begining - from 01:00 onwards it's just perfect.
Beautiful.
5/5

( I think it should be longer, it deserves a chorus/ with drums and bass or something. )

Nitrocore responds:

Thanks for the review!, and I appreciate your comments. I'll see if I can do more to it / fill it out without ruining it. Thanks for listening and once again for the review.

[AA - Heart's Chambers]

Heart's Chambers

Beautifull stuff...I just wish it was a tad longer, but since it's an opening/intro I can't complain.
5/5

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Thankyou . Going to finally make the music, I have always wanted to make . I finally discovered it . I have to be able to place the notes at a 30 LPB . I already made a loop for everyone, called AA - Horizon 46 seconds long . So, until then, farewell everyone . ^_^

[In my dreamz]

In my dreamz

Not bad. I like your melodies. The drums could use some work, reinforce some of the notes with cymbal shots or something. Also, adding another part will make it a much more complete song.
5/5

bboyflash responds:

Thank you!!! :D I will work on it more, this one took 30 mins to make.

[AA - Ashes]

Ashes

Ashes // creating a concentrated testimony, and because it's short it's almost like a memory of he past( or vision of the future ), bits and pieces are missing ( only because they are not important ) and youre left with the parts that matter.
On the musical side of things, this would work well as a incidental score for a film.
5/5

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Why thankyou . ^_^ Yea, it is short, and yes it was that of visions and whatnot when I imagined it, I wasn't going to add footsteps, and the helicopter taking a minute to land . LOL

[Am I Kool Yet?!?!]

Am I Zef Yet?

Very kool, you've got your own style, and you take no prisoners = the best way to create something original. Quality track. The only thing I would work on more is the drums, music/melodies are spot on, drums just a little too doef doef for me.
I'm not too keen on hardstyle myself, but this is great - you are zef indeed.
5/5

Gravey responds:

Haha! Glad you enjoyed the tune bud. It's definitely something out of the ordinary for me.

Thanks.
