Cosmogenesis's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[LegendaryPirate:Aerial Galleon]

Damn, I miss the shit out of you, man.
I mean, basically all your published work is right here in NG, but it was pretty neat when you were active, releasing lovely pieces like this. Really makes me sad to think you've permanently moved on from NG, or worse, composing in general. Seen nothing from you anywhere else, so I've got the feeling that you've gone the way of the dinosaur and ParagonX9, moving on with life and whatnot. Hopefully not as extinct as the dinosaur.
Regardless of whether you come back to releasing music or not, this is all coming from a huge fan inspired by your very work. I would never have gotten into music had it not been for this track and others of yours - this is how powerful they were to me.
So, cheers, man, where ever you are now, and where ever your path takes you. Peace and satori.

[EnV - Bonus Level]

Here I am again, just coming from another one of yours. Lawl.
What a freaking great tune this is. Again, the mastering is pretty top-notch. It's all perfectly clear and seems to draw attention to where it was intended from one part to the next.
The intro suggests "yet another video game sound" but it quickly builds into an epic ride. The impact of the song is slightly dampened in the transition at around 1:20, but it makes up for it a little while later with that lovely composition. Also, I'm a sucker for well-done synth slides (dunno if that's what the synth itself just does, or if it's actually a note slide, but I hope that makes sense).
Midway does an excellent job of transition to that sweet bell-thing by itself, and then in the build back up to the epic main melody (but this time mixed up a bit), which carries to the end with its fairly sick bassline.
Another good one.

[~EnV~Heaven Rd. 2 (Ng mix)]

Whoa, really good job, here!
I can see (hear) why this is #2 in audio right now, and has 1.2 million plays.
The mastering is excellent, for starters. The bass THUMPS, but at the same time it lets the other instruments have their focus.
Like that lead synth, starting around the minute mark, after the saws took the background. It was highly repetitive, but not in a way that gets annoying. It was juuuuust riiiiight.
And the rest of the synth work here is just great. Nothing sounds out of place, and each do a damn fine job of establishing the mood and rhythm throughout the piece.
The intro is really neat. It's a sudden transition to the fast paced main bit of the song, but also quite smooth. I was pleasantly surprised by that.
All in all, this is one of the few things that's gonna get a five from me. Good job.

THE HAPPY! Yet again, your work is very impressive in the way the fore melodies, backgrounds, and perc all meshes together. Nothing seemed drowned out or to be clamoring attention; each instrument drew you to it naturally and easily, and the overall sound was very full and CATCHY!
Major scales are indeed fun to play with. hehe.

Waterflame responds:

Thank you! :D I appreciate that you noticed details like that, Its some of the things I think a lot about when mastering a track :)

[[Jay T] - Poundcake!]

Egoraptor would be delighted... Or was he? XD
This made me giggle and groove. Nice work!

[Kryptonite (Acapella)]

Excellent rendition of this! I heard this years ago and just now thought of it. Had to hear it again!
Are all the layers just you?
Nice work in each layer, too. You have excellent vocal control, sir.

[A New Horizon]

Holy crap, such force and power in this one. I don't give a full 5 very often, but this is such an excellent piece I HAD to. =3
Wish I had better speakers so I could better hear what the bassier stuff is doing, but you've mastered this really well, anyway. Nice and "full" without the horrible distortion/drowning that tends to happen in this genre.
I've been browsing through your work and I am very impressed, and I'd love to hear more of your music in the future. =D

[-Endgame-]

As usual, your work has wowed me and left me in an awesome mood. Hehe
And yes, it's very loud & has a nice "completeness" to its sound, with rich layers that never clash or drown out one another.
The beat is superb, and the overall energy in the song is just great.

[OMGCORE]

Oh my, that was brutal. O.o
Fantastic & clean guitar work, too. Nice!

Brutal doesn't know what's coming. Keep watching for MORE BR00T4L STUFF!
