MrShmoods's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[~Fireplace~]

I've said it once and I'll say it again: if this weren't already free, I'd pay money for this cozy jam if I could.

ConnorGrail responds:

Too bad, take your free mp3 download (thank you though!)

[The Essence of the Moon]

"The tree seems to be cradling the moon" is far cooler than anything I had in mind. Consider it fact! Love the track, by the way

cyan11 responds:

I'm glad you liked it! This year is the first time I tried doing this so I figured I'd try something new.

[We Three Kings (Connor Grail and James Renna)]

Was expecting a pleasant rendition of We Three Kings, then was slammed in the face with a cacophony of butt-rock and I couldn't be more on board with it... the existence of this fills me to the brim with joy.

ConnorGrail responds:

No time for pleasantness here, the holidays are a time for the power of big guitar
Glad you like it, looking forward to see what you contribute

[The Paths Our Heart Often Guides Us Through]

... Feels like I just got a soul massage.

AlbeGian responds:

Hahah that's the most surreal reaction I've ever gotten so far and I love it. Glad you felt that, thank youu!

[By the Fireplace]

Man, I LOVE this kind of stuff. The piano is excellent, the accompanying sax and violin (or cello?), it all just works so well together. I also love the couple key changes you put in the middle. It raises the intensity but just enough so that it doesn't ruin the vibe of the loop.

It's composed in such a way that it's not too much to listen to, otherwise it'd get old, but just enough that it makes me want to listen again and again.

This is a beautifully warm and pleasant jazz loop. Ten thumbs up from me (don't ask where I got all these thumbs...)

AlbeGian responds:

Thank you shmoods!! Yeah the first part was made using violin and cello, and the second part uses tenor and alto sax.

[Pleasant Town Loop]

Dude, I've had this loop on for almost an hour now and it's honestly the most calming yet chipper track I've ever had the delight to listen to on a loop. It's got a strong Earthbound vibe and I love it!

It's crazy hard to make a looping track that seamlessly repeats itself while never overstaying its welcome, so more power to you.

Absolutely awesome job!
