FKProductions's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hello AKD (I hope you like it)]

Yeah... Just speak....... Forget the vocoder....

Well, you could speak, then add an effect, but it sounds computer generated, and S**t.

Unlike the song. Really upbeat! You have you're own style.... And should experiment more.

I think you'd be good at anything you tried.

[They Took My Face]

Ow..

As you've now learnt, I make my reviews as I hear the song, and the mastering of the first minute hurt my ears so badly!

However, it went, and you're really good at making full beats, and include such a variety of sounds in your music. You're using bass well, and are starting to make me think other people should use it.

Nice Sountrack! But sounded more like something off 127 hours, alone in the desert journeying. Oh, and some aliens land and take your face (note, that is not a spoiler- that DIDN'T happen in the actual film).

As a final note, if I was playing the character of the above storyline, maybe on a motorbike, I think I'd feel pretty damn badass. "Yeah, They Took My Face, who gives a damn? I ripped both my arms off then beat the crap outta every last one of the amphibious b******s."

You're showing more versatility by the minute. I might want to offer you an opportunity at this rate :P

[(DDD) Mechanical Lullaby]

I need a piano :(

I have kinda self taught myself how to play. If anyone want's to buy me a 3 pound one off Ebay, feel free!

You need vocals in more of your songs, even though this one is "ambient". Well, this one doesn't need lyrics..... Damn- Because I generate my reviews while I'm listening for the first time, at 1:57- When that kicked in, it felt like such a release! But please- keep claps out of songs like this. I hate it when people use claps, it only really works in RnB songs etc. But that IS just my opinion. Hey.. I'm getting very drawn in by your music, as you can see.

LOVE reverse music, and so loved that sequence at the end. But it shouldn't of been so long.

Good job!

[Whim (2nd Mix)]

Exactly what you should do!

That's what reviews are for- To improve. Is the bass in this synth? In other words, is this all computer generated? Just wondering.

It is lacking something. Believe me. Just needs a hum in the background, up to 2:05 of course, can't destroy that cool bit, but it needs like some looooooong chords going on. what program do you use for this by the way? By the way, I don't like the synths at 0:30 - maybe you could change that synth, and maybe even the notes and then let it run through some more of the song, like the afore mentioned "hum".

But the general beat of this is awesome. Nice work!

[Whim]

:DD

"Rythm is a dancer... "

Yeah :D!

I'm not reviewing this one I'll review the second mix!

[If I Told You]

Of course this is NG material!

For Movies though, not Games :)

It's nice to hear lyrics in your music too, and Molly's voice (if that's Molly singing) has a bright yet dreamy voice, which works with this laid back song. The only thing is though, it doesn't sound as sad as maybe you wanted it too, it could be used in a scene with a couple looking up at the stars, and the synth at the end could be them floating off into space together :D

Loving the reverse (hits)? I think they are. If you don't tell me within a day, I'm downloading the track and reversing the song :P In fact, I may download all of your tracks, to listen to em :)

Also, maybe the lyrics could of had some work, so unfortunately 2 stars are being knocked off for the afore mentioned flaws. However, when you bring in lyrics to a song, you suddenly have a lot more work on your hands, so good job.

Can I just say to people, if you download, leave a review! On many of our (FKPs) tracks we have quite a few downloads, but no reviews! Tell him why you downloaded it (for example- if you used it for something) as I'm sure he'd love to see what you used it for. Never mind reviews about why you rated it low too!

Anyway, gonna keep listening to all of your current tracks, and I look forwards to any upcoming ones. I hope to completely use all of my character limit on one of your tracks one day!

Thanks for letting me hear your music!

Devereux responds:

hey
thanks for the review. I'll be honest when I wrote it I didn't really have movies in mind =P but admittedly the lyrics aren't the best, I was trying to be simple.
The sounds you're talking about are harmonics played on the bass, copied, then reversed. The original is panned left and the reversed harmonics are panned right (or vice versa, I can't quite remember!)
Thanks for listening =)

[Old Friends (2nd Mix)]

Are you versatile?

All your tracks are so awesome- You're good at what you do.

But, I'm just wondering, if you wanted to get employed for something, what would it be :) That's just a question based on ignorance, I'm not being pessimistic.

[(DDD) Frozen]

Cause your froooozen.....

"When I see your face, it becomes clear that your frozen in yourself.

I can't help you out, 'cause you don't wanna be helped. Your frooozen. And you liiiike it."

*instrumental*

"Is this how it's gonna be, you in there, me out here?

Well thats fine by me, if its fine by you, cause your frooozen.

Frozen-in-yourself

Frozen-in-yourself

Frooooozen- in-yourself"

Something like that would of sounded awesome, just sang/whispered once. Ask the girl who made the Tarboy OST to do it! :D

Well, this song inspires lyrics, despite its ambientness.

I know it's hard to get popular on here- Believe me. Well, I'll do my bit. Favourite artists time! No seriously, I'm not doing it just to help you out- Your music fills in the gap where no other music fills at those times....

BTW, check out our site, despite publicity problems, our actual AIM is to help new creationists get heard/saw etc. Like a publisher, except free :P

Well, yeah.

[Streetlight Insomnia]

Awwr Nice!

I didn't think someone of 18 years would be interested in this kind of stuff! Well, I love it- Really Nostalgic. I like the drum loop, and the recurring patterns, along with the soooooothing synths. Mmmmmmm. Smooth in the solos, and then when that saw-like synth comes back in it's like yeeaaaaahh......

So, half technical review, half what-it-makes-me-feel review, hope it was useful!

Face <(X_X)>

Oh yeah... Improvements..... Hmmmmm: Mastering? Check. Length/Repetitiveness? Check. Variety of synths? Check. Nice ending? Check.....

Niiiiiice bass? Freaking Check!

Meh, I think you get my drift. It was perfect, for its intentions. Time to listen to more of your stuff!

It's a ten 'cause it's faultless, nawt it's amazing.

[Grime - They Ate My Brain]

MMMMhmmhmhm

The bass is hard, and I like how you'ved used progressive filters this time :D

Love pitch bend, as usual.

Yeha, makes you think like, you've been abducted and they experimented with you :D

Nice work !!!

Thank's man!
Yeah the bass is HARD.
