HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Moonrise | 2016]

Very late vote, but I saw your YT link of it. AWESOME acoustic alternate rock tune mah boi!

Bertn1991 responds:

Much appreciated, good sir. The version on YouTube is better I think. I remastered pretty much all my tracks so volume and stuff is more consistent between them. Some of these were just so quiet :|

[A Step Into Terror]

Lovely saxophone work, all around masterful jazziness. Love the pitch-work with the bass too!

Jumbs responds:

Thank you Hoboka! I really tried having that bass fill in the space between the piano and drums best I could. glad you enjoyed it! :]

[Curse of the Calamari Queen III | 2019]

Can you hook me up with the Midi to this one? I think I can make a killer collab outta this :3
Something to up the belied unsettling feeling just over the horizon...this screams Akira Yamaoka!!

(If that's alright with you :))

Bertn1991 responds:

I've sent the requested files, good sir. Excited ^______^

[Trumpet Zone | 2021]

Where's the brass?? 0/5 Deuauaaaaa~
But nice piano work nonetheless. You got some mad talent!

Bertn1991 responds:

Full disclosure, the trumpet is all the darn way at the end and it's not special at all lol

[Vimori & EDEXY - Only (Frostfyre Records Release)]

This is fire! Nice breakdown at 1:07.
Nice switch ups with the beat and always something to keep the listener engaged. Great production as usual :)

edexy responds:

We are really appreciate your comment dude! Thanks

[Dragon Beats]

Damn, this is DOPE. All of the 90's goodness crammed here. Kinda feels like a blend of Secret of Mana and Streets of Rage.

Sykozealot responds:

Now you got me thinking about what ifs....like

What if there was a Streets of Rage style Chrono Trigger game....or

What if there was a Chrono Trigger style Streets of Rage game?

[Ascend]

Love those chip-tune drums, that phat bass* and the funky ass melodies. Really quite catchy. Reminds me of some fan-made Phantasy Star remixes.

Sykozealot responds:

Only Phantasy Star game I have played is "Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis" played it for about 3.1 hours on steam...I think if I played any of the other titles in there hay day I would of gotten a lot of nostalgia for those games but I just never got into them ^^

[Give me your love]

Love it! Cool vocals and the beat is fire!

ChristopheMartineau responds:

Thank you for this support <33 Means the world for me!!

[Deus Machina - Jessie Yun]

Buahaha I claim 5th vote. Hope this gets Front-Paged matey. Friggin' baller cinematic intensity fest. Reminds me of Alex Moukala ...1:43 is BEAST. Good work d00d :3

JessieYun responds:

Thank you so much!

[Neanderthals | 2021]

You are brilliantly good at atmospheric orchestral themes man. Very ponderous and esoteric feeling. Beautiful!

Bertn1991 responds:

Ponderous and esoteric, eh? I'll take it! Thank you <3
