SilentSpace's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zelda II - Temple Redux]

Oh my god.

Yeah, I think it was a good idea for you to get back to more techno. xD

But you know what REALLY blows my mind? The loop. How do you get something to loop so well?!?!

[The Crimson Revolution]

I consider this your original song.

This is by far my favorite of your songs. I don't remember how I found it, but when I did and I put it on my music player. I was in one of those moods where I just needed a bunch of new music, and I didn't really care what it was. This song caught my attention, so I added it.

A while later, I realized that this song was pretty much the best song that I had on my music player, and then for weeks I decided, every time I listened to it, to look at your page and see what else you've made.

Finally, one day, when I was in a mood that was "Get things done!" I finally remembered to look at your page. And I was pleasantly surprised. By experiment, I listened to a few of your songs, downloading them all one by one. I realized that all of them were amazing, and so I stopped previewing them all and just downloaded EVERY ONE OF THEM ONE BY ONE.

And they have been on my music player (now iPod) ever since. I consider this the original because this is how my love for your music began.

My favorite, of course, is this one, because I love the hits, the trademark DownWired sounds, and the guitar sounding ones. All of it is amazing, and fits perfectly together.

My top 5 favorites:
1. The Crimson Revolution
2. Just Play
3. The Marimba Man
4. Hacking the Tree
5. Spontaneous Industrialization

What are your favorites, by the way? What do you think you did the best on?

[Metal Man Elite]

Is it even possible to make a song this good?

AWESOME. It's so awesome that I have no advice on how to improve it besides the fact that everything seems really clogged up... If you're using a reverb in the mixer you may want to make the room size slightly larger. But IDK, I'm not a master at music, at all. xD

[Bicycle Thief]

AWESOME. PURE DOWN*WIERD* AWESOME.

Wait. If you made this a while back, why didn't you submit it then? :C

Anyway, lol. Whenever I played your music on my iPod, I would notice that your name is spelled wrong. But I thought it was supposed to be "weird," not "wired."

Anyway, I'll be following you on soundcloud now.

Downwierd responds:

Yeah I didn't upload it because I had it on Soundcloud and I couldn't be arsed to upload it here right away :D
Glad that you liked the song btw.

[Megaman 2 - Bubble Man Elite]

Noooooo! *cries*

(It ended.)
I wish I could rate this 11. No joke. The only problem that I have with this song is that it has a rather abrupt ending. Maybe extend it a tiny bit and I can garantee that this will be one of your best songs EVER.

Maybe add a slower section, similar to what you did in Elite Airflow... Idk. It just needs more length! :D

[Pneuma]

Another trademark Downwierd song. C;

I'm so glad you're back! I missed your style of music. :3

Speaking of your style of music, actually, I noticed that all of your songs use the same synths. Don't get me wrong, that's a good thing, because the particular sound that's created is almost unbeatable. However, I encourage experimentation with other sounds, mix things up a bit. :D

Now, on the subject of THIS song. It was awesome, as usual, with great melodies and everything, but I noticed that a lot of it seemed like there was slightly too much going on. If you removed a single part of each section or changed a few notes, this bizarre sound might easily be eliminated.

And, as usual, 5/5 and download. Good luck with future music! C:

Downwierd responds:

Thank you for a great review. Yeah I know I have used the same synths, I have heard that from other people. In the future I'll work on making new synths and such. Also I'm working on my mastering, hopefully my songs wont sound as cluttered in the future! :D

[Chaos Angel]

!!!

Wow.
Yes, this did give me goosebumps. And I've never even heard the real song. This is incredible. Momentous. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. However, sadly, I do have one complaint. And that is that the main melody repeats quite a bit. But that's okay! This song is amazing no matter what! xD

Again, now this is one of my favorite songs. And congrats on getting this front-paged. :D

Shanath responds:

Thanks a lot. :] Glad you enjoyed it!

[Demonic Strife]

Amazing!

I love searching through the audio portal with more unused words such as strife, for example. I found this one, and it is now one of my favorites of all time. I can't believe it only has a 3.99!!! >:C

I voted 5.

[S&K Flying Battery (Elite Mix)]

You are exactly correct.

This DEFINITELY blows your previous remixes of this song "out of the water"!

Wow. This already has a great rating, or else I'd be up-voting it like every freaking day of my life. xP

In my opinion (although you definitely don't need to abide by it) you do way better with techno like this than 8-bit. You can stick with the style you like to do best, but I just wanted to let you know that to achieve many more fans, and possibly even rank as highly as ParagonX9 on Newgrounds (although in my opinion you already do xD) you should continue making epic techno.
8-bit limits artists talent, I've noticed, although it's far easier to make music with.

[8-bit Island]

Amazing as always!

The main melody is awesome! And it definitely does build a lot.
Also, you're getting better with making music that fits certain settings, or fitting music that you make in a certain setting, because this totally fits with an island theme. xD

Anyway, I'm glad to hear you'll be making more techno! I'm looking forward to it. :D
