HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Firefly Waltz]

I don't think I've heard contemporary chip-Waltz before. GREAT chip-work and I love that bombastic beat. Love it!

johnfn responds:

LOL - that's totally the right genre for this piece.

[Time Machine Adventure]

You sir are the king of funky OHC. Been jammin' to this tune in my car for food runs. This is the best stuff to chill to. Nice work man uWu

johnfn responds:

Thanks! :D Haha I listen to it while driving sometimes as well. It pairs really well.

[Happy Person Anthem]

Trippy. Nice funky chip stuff. And vocals to boot. Nice! Groovin in my seat like a tard.

johnfn responds:

Thank you my man!

[day 2 - johnfn]

Dat drum reverb. Holy shit. Nice arp.

johnfn responds:

LOL this is a blast from the past. What was I even thinking writing this piece..?

[glittering gold sand ~ EXTEND ver.]

Very magical. This could work in an ice cave too. Love the plucked and the vibrato strings. Hmm..reminds me of FFXII.

Troisnyx responds:

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! 💖
FFXII was a big influence of mine for this, as was FFX with its Sanubia / Bikanel theme, and of course film score in general.

[Fallen Angel (Original Mix)]

Aha, actual Synthwave hahaha. Nice, I got a similar setup, though I don't think I have Serum. Cool 'verby percussion, that and the dark gated synth, vocals, makes it sound grandoise and dystopian. Nice work at 2:45 too, brings it all together in an epic way. Nice Vagrant Story vibe at the final bit haha.

NandinAnubis responds:

Oaoa, thanks

[First Snow]

Cool Chip Hybrid tune. Mix is nice and tight. Love it.

LordAndiso responds:

Thank you! :)))))))))))))))))))))))))

[There Is Always Hope]

Nice Tape Echo vibe. Cool percussion. Reminds me of 90's CD games and some DKC. Kinda reminds me of Dune and some Puzzle games too.

Tremulos responds:

Thank you!! That echo is what I spent most of my time on, believe it not lol. Thank you for the kind words and the vivid descriptions.

[Daily Ritual]

Wow, this is some ASMR stuff. Love the avant-garde drum samples. Cool soundscape...mellow and a bit psychedelic*.

Mel responds:

thank you so much! more unique tracks coming soon!

[By-Blow (The Stay At Home Drunk)]

Nice and mellow. Loving the retro 3-band E/Q feel to it too. Reminds me of better times haha. Nice lyrics too.

ConnorDeVaux responds:

Thanks, I had to record this in a cramped corner of a garage, my back still hurts haunching over a mic with an acoustic and for singing. Thanks a lot for the kind review :)
