OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Unforeseen Expectations]

Love the bouncy chiptune feel of this one, super upbeat chords and all! The drum pattern lends a unique groove as well that I think really serves the song. But they also just set the song up for that final drop, where the 2-and-4 beat drums and harder sounds finish off the song perfectly. Great work as always, and congrats on another fp!

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked my track! :D

[kijika abandon [clip?]]

Absolutely mind-melting stuff, I can’t get enough of all of these stabs! That supersaw lead at 1:21 is legendary as well, the melody sounds so… right, I don’t have a word for it. That intricate ear candy in the ambient sections is awesome. Love all of this!

vekoN responds:

thank you! that's wonderful to hear!

[S0MBRA - Cricket's Courtesy]

Holy crap this is such a cool atmosphere!! I agree with the previous reviewer who said that the crickets are at the perfect volume… they really do fit perfectly into the mix to always be notable, but never too attention-grabbing.

S0MBRASOUNDS responds:

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it :)

I was trying to capture the atmosphere of isolation at night in the small town I used to live.

[S0MBRA - The Empty Hourglass]

Again you killed it with the production! I love these vocal samples as well, they really set the mood for the track. And when that bass starts— EPIC. Your flavor of trance is so cool!

S0MBRASOUNDS responds:

Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed! I'm happy that the trance section turned out well! It's one of the first times I've attempted the genre. Also, it's actually me on the vocals throughout this whole ep :)

[DXLS & ImMoxta - Blast Boosters (DXLS Version)]

Hyped to hear more music from you again! I still greatly enjoy your F-777 inspired sound. Really cool collaboration, having you release more music this year will be awesome DXLS!

DXLS responds:

Thank you so much!! ♥

[Cassiopeia]

I like new VR’s music a lot better honestly, he has reached another level in terms of production especially. But his old style is very nostalgic for me, so this song really hit the spot!

AndrewCr responds:

That's the best way to put it

[Contemplation]

Dang, you made a LOT out of just one chord... from a compositional perspective, this is extremely impressive, how interesting you kept it throughout. As usual I'm amazed by your work, keep it up!

Solacitude responds:

Thank you so much! I'm flattered by your views on this one ^^

It's an exercise I sometimes do, limiting only to 1 or 2 chords, the simplicity that it brings, leaves all the room on the other hand for focusing only on musicality. I'm glad you found it enjoyable!
Thanks for the encouragements! :D

[Kalzlak [wip]]

OH GOOD LORD
This reminds me a lot of sk0’s stuff, epic color bass!

vekoN responds:

tysm! sk0 is a big inspiration :)

[Nostalgic Year]

You had a lot of achievements last year, I can see why you’d be nostalgic for it! Last year was a high for you, but I know you haven’t peaked— youre capable of so much, you’ll never truly peak! You’re just at the clouds now… it may look like the ceiling but there’s nothing stopping you from breaking through :)

G2961 responds:

Yeah, as much as I miss those times, it's worth moving on. That's what I'm gonna do.
