backwardecho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Song of the Wind]

Your songs are full of emotion, this really pulls at the heartstrings. Very eloquent sound as well and nicely layered with melodies. Hope to hear more!

zybor responds:

Thank you for your review. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. :)

[Mary]

Very resplendent; a masterpiece, albeit heartbreaking.. Thank you for sharing this remarkable work! I would say more, though I fear sometimes I overstep while expressing my thoughts.

Oh to hell with it, I wanted to say that in the midst of many who suffer and fall asleep in death alone, I would bet this dear Mary of yours found great comfort to have you there for her in such a difficult time. And I think it takes a special person to create from loss, music that touches others. Because we've all lost someone.. Thank you again.

etherealwinds responds:

Thank you so much for your kind words. I've been listening to some of your music and it's very impressive. You have a beautiful voice! My own mother passed away this year too so I've drawn a lot from loss in 2016 so those words are very resonant. Hope you're well!

[Prelude to Destruction]

While it is my natural inclination to let an artist who's music I stumble upon and thoroughly enjoy know that I thoroughly enjoyed it, I almost didn't want to add a comment to the bunch because this song is so blatantly good, you must already be aware of your prowess in composition and my words would simply reiterate the facts. But so be it :) Wonderful job!! I loved the drum work as well as the xylophone-ish sounds that lead into the meat of the song. Mad Max is one of my GPs, and it was easy to envision a multi-car chase with pole cats. Great overall pace, though I am left wanting more song, but can one call that a complaint?^^

Phonometrologist responds:

Thank you for letting me know what you think of the piece. Though I wouldn't assume that one would be aware of any level of skill that they have achieved and demonstrated. I can't focus on that. I merely was inspired to write a piece of music that I wanted to write, but there is a lot more music to be discovered and a lot more knowledge that I must attain. Don't think that your words mean nothing as I really do appreciate knowing that someone has enjoyed something I've written. Here's a quote that I have always found encouraging:
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." - Mark Twain

[Genocide]

What a fun track! This reminds me of my brother's work (which is a big compliment in my book!) I like the message behind it, glad you explained more in the comments as I was bracing for something rougher. Also not sure why you've been given 3 stars overall, even if it isn't dubstep. 4.5 to you, Mister :)

MysteriousPresence responds:

Wow, thank you very much, didn't expect a review on this one ! ^^
Well I'm being zerobombed since my track "Oh My God What's Going On With My Mind ?", and even if this track's low score may be justified in my opinion, I still don't understand Genocide's, Atomic's and 711998's scores. I must be followed by someone who doesn't like me and who constantly votes "0" to all my tracks with his 6 accounts... it's a bit discouraging to be honest ! Take a look if you want, but I honestly think my latest tracks are not that bad ! =3
Thanks again ! <3

[An Improv on Life]

You're amazing and all it's synonyms! I'm really just awestruck right now; the variety of brilliant melodic work and come on!! - 24:11?? I nearly got vicarious finger cramps just from listening. Very, very nice :)

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks a ton for the gleeful encouragement, backwardecho! If I remember correcly, I was actually really tired on the day I recorded this improvisation. But I don't think my hands/fingers got tired. While I play some fast stuff here and there, I think I subconsciously avoided anything which puts too much of a strain on the fingers!
When playing select difficult pieces though, my hands can tire really quickly :'D

[Reminiscence]

This song made me smile.^^ Like stepping inside a whole different realm, full of wonderment. Well done!

LawnReality responds:

Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed listening!

[In The Distance]

Nice mix of beats with thoughtful melodies, everything flows together really well. Loved the wildlife samples =) And the brief dialogue was a refreshing statement. This song would be great for a peaceful drive in the country!

5TanLey responds:

thx thx :)

[FD - Tomorrow Will Be Better]

Resplendent work! It seems to call for reflection, and then steers one toward determined hope. Songs like these are truly powerful =)

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thank you :)

[Friends To The End]

I've listened to a few of your songs now and had to pause to express that I'm really enjoying your creative work. I love music that reaches deep and stirs the core, and your compositions accomplish this wonderfully. Well done! =)

Enzer0 responds:

Thanks backwardecho! I prefer to make deep and emotive pieces because i feel it can pull the best feelings from the most receptive people.
