backwardecho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Storm]

You certainly know how to create fascinating mind imagery with your music!^^ Sounds like a story, enveloped within this gorgeous and powerful storm. Brilliant work!!

LawnReality responds:

Thank you!

[Why Can't I Punish You?(Demo)]

Very nice! I don't think I've heard anything just straight forward industrial like this in quite a while, but your song had me instantly visualizing piping in a warehouse or a machine shop, in black and white. Really great!! Also reminded me of a couple 80's Japanese film OSTs. Your voice made me chuckle, but that's because you sound a lot like a musician I knew (he makes cool music too ^_~)

Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!^^

Kryomax responds:

thank you!

[Haze]

Awesome!! I listened to this before, when first joining NG couple months back, in search of artists who produced ebm, industrial and what not, and I have to tell you those melodies stuck in my head as though they were gorilla glued there. Quite catchy, fully layered and just an overall enjoyable song. Hope you share more of your work here in future! :)

neonshudder responds:

I share here now and again but all my work is at neonshudder.bandcamp.com - I have a 21 track album coming out this month that comes with a 150+ page story.

[Paradigm Volition Single edit]

Very nice and stompy, I can definitely imagine this song for that or fun behind the wheel! >:3 I think on its own though, I personally might want just a bit more, maybe a synth with higher notes to flesh things out further, but that's barely a complaint; I've heard songs of this caliber on albums/in clubs and so forth. Great job!^^

Achronai responds:

thanks for the listen! ^_^ Im glad you enjoyed it and thankyou for the review! I might add on to this in future so I will definately take your suggestion, I may have an idea ;)

thanks for your time!

[Perilous Lust]

Really enjoying your work. I think I briefly commented on one of your songs when I first hopped over to NG couple months back, usually I delve more in wordage and expression but I wasn't sure if you were very active here and it seems from your page that you're maybe more involved with SoundCloud. (I've been on SC for a year or so but more or less abandoned the site for Newgrounds after the discouraging news regarding Group termination o.O)

Anyways, back to your lovely music. It's been refreshing to find some ebm, aggrotech, electro-industrial and the like here! I've listened to a few of your songs now and they all have awesome ingredients, catchy synths and overall professional build. I'm curious as to what bands in particular you enjoy/have influenced your work. Hope you post more tunes, I'll keep an eye out! :)

Intracate responds:

After betraying myself, I am certainly ready to have another go at developing music. To answer your previous questions: I have a vast array of musicians I listen to. As I discovered more artists, my style continued to evolve. Now that I have matured a little more, I welcome all genres and try to learn from all of them. Com Truise, Carbon Lifeforms are the two bands that I can recall being very fond of during the time of this particular upload. I can't thank anyone enough for enjoying what was merely a way to cope with various things. Best wishes to you, man.

[Oceanic Bioluminescence]

Yays, a fellow gal makin' music!^^ This is delightfully unique! I was going to comment that it sounded like being underwater before I reread the title and realized that was intended lol. I also really like your choice of notes; it's probably opposite from what I would normally choose in my own composition, so I find your style very interesting!

Hope to hear more in future! :)

Quarl responds:

Thank you so much for that review! It's always refreshing when people are like "this is new to me but I'm still going to let the artist know that their work isn't garbage and they are special <3 <3"

You are my hero.

[Mayya Malyshka]

It can be a bit more rare nowadays to come across those who create with profound things in mind. I really like this! :) Your songs are refreshing, not just for the brilliance in sound, but the foundation of intelligent thoughts they stem from. I have you bookmarked now so I can keep hearing your wonderful works in future.^^

Phonometrologist responds:

That is very kind of you to share these words. In regards to the "foundation" of thoughts and the music, there shouldn't be a difference between the two. Music is an eloquent speech, and if all music had meaning to convey to the listener, then there wouldn't be a dull moment.

[FD - The Reveal]

Wow, you can really compose some deep feels, mister! What a raw and beautiful piece!! (The second listen, I was imagining a Jenga tower falling in slow motion to the surprise and despair of everyone, but that's because I'm a weird and silly person) I'll have to check out this game of yours sometime, it certainly has a lovely soundtrack! =)

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thank you! That Jenga tower will probably need a proper elegy after this. And two minutes of silence, in slow motion. :) Have fun with the game! Feel free to shoot me a PM if you need some assistance.

[Sempiternal Rhapsody]

Excelling work, yet again! Pianos must be smitten with you, they seem to tell you all their secrets.^^

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thank you for your review!
Haha, in order to get pianos to tell you their secrets, you have to tickle their ivories for like an hour, everyday, for years ^ ^

[Stormbreakers]

Ooo, this is so good!!!^^ Very vigorous track, chock full of goodies! I've listened to this song more than once now and it still gives me a big smile. The first time I heard it, I felt like I was listening to the history of mankind, summed up in 5 minutes. Well done! :D

zybor responds:

Thank you very much for your review. :)

Happy New Year to you!
