MiguelVolkov's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madame Maus3]

Softness and darknes that makes me mix both, Castlevania and Kirby in my head, for some strange reason! xD Great piece!... I liked the oboe so much!... Keep the good work, my friend.

blackrose96 responds:

Definitivamente necesitamos un juego asi XD. Muchas gracias mi estimado Volkov!

[Summer in Kokiri Forest]

The most I liked here was your originality... You killed all my expectatives... I was expecting the kinda same mix of always, but surprise! You brought me a new Kokiri sensation. It ocassionally seems to be another tune, but it is still Kokiri Forest... Great instrument choice, great idea, and great creativity.

Excellent work.

JamesmanNG responds:

Thanks! Koriri Forest was always a favorite track of mine from OoT and, I had a lot of fun trying something new with it. =)

[Indigo Plateau Remix]

Well... For me, Indigo Plateau has been always the most imponent and epic theme from all Pokémon series, specially the symphonic version... And, although you took off the natural strenght of this song, I liked your mix... It's just a new concept, and this time the fear sense was not the intention... It's only kind of repetitive... Maybe you should try to compose some new and crazy tunes, play with the beat, I don't know... Otherwise, it's still a good job.

Very interesting how you managed the simple notes of this song to become into a new thing.

TheComet responds:

The song had a familiar key I've worked in plenty of times before, so I knew I could do alot of fun things with it, which is good considering the original song itself isn't exactly a complex track

Thanks for the review :)

[Banjo-Tooie medley orch.]

A really well done mix, with a lot of instruments and a very good arrangement. Definitely this bring back memories... I remember my youth when I played this marvelous game.

Keep up the good work my friend. This is really, really amazing.

blackrose96 responds:

Thank you as always for such kind and inspiring words.

[Hey You!]

This somehow reminds me my youh, when I used to play on my NES games like Double Dragon, Contra... Or something like that!!

Really talented piece! Keep te good work, and those delicious enchiladas! Viva Mexico!!

blackrose96 responds:

Gracias Miguel!! That's exactly what I wanted to hear!!! Viva Mexico!!!!

[Yoshi's Athletic Jazz]

Soft... Funny... Danceable... It could fit perfectly in a new Yoshi game.
This reminds my childhood... I still wish to play this again, and listening to this mix, my wish really went so high! =D

blackrose96 responds:

Thank you for such kind words!!! Me anima mucho a seguir!!

[Yoshi Island Salsa]

Yoshi's gone latino!! Ey dude, great mix! I imagined myself at La Habana dancing along all the night with some kind of spoted eggs in several colors!! Eating apples and whatever my mouth is able to swallow... Great mix dude!

Vivan los mixers mexicanos!!! =D A weboooooooooooooooooooo

blackrose96 responds:

Yeah Volkov!!! Now that mental image will stay in my head forever when I listen to this song! Thank you for such a happy memory!!!

[Mewtwo Boss Battle Theme]

Yes, I understand what are you trying to do... If Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Kyogre, Groudon & Rayquaza have their own battle theme... Why does Mewtwo have a bare wild Pokémon battle theme??? That's not fair... But also it must be a little kind of difficult to get a great theme for Mewtwo, unless you are a Nintendo's Composer.

And well, you almost got it... Maybe some more symphonic cuts and more epic arrangements could give it the right tune... But dude, this work is amazing.

Vahnson responds:

Thank you so much. It was kind of a challenge to create this track and to be honest it was not originally for him, but half way through the song I drew a picture of him for my fanfic and it gave me some ideas. So I scrapped most of the primary melody which was far more repetitive and made this song.

I would really like to use symphonic cuts and more arrangements but I use a fairly old program to compose my music. In the end I really enjoy the old school sound of a 32bit-64bit music composition.

[R/S/E Wild Pokemon Battle]

Ok, this remix is just great... You gave it a great emotion to it... I almost imagined myself right infront of a Hoenn wild Pokémon... Just, I think it has too much staccatto, maybe you should leave the long notes, because sometimes it cuts the whole audio emotion...

Anyways, this is an excellent work! Congrats.

EpicRPGRemixes responds:

Thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed it and will use your advice on future projects!

[Super Mario Concerto Part 3.2]

Your piano technique is outstanding!

I enjoyed a lot while listening to this... You're pretty talented playing piano. I like so much how you managed to mix the themes in a whole piano concerto.

Liked so much too the Boss Battle Theme from Yoshi's Island, I have never heard it on piano, and you just rocked it!! Simply amazing.

Keep the great work. This will go right to my favs!

Kreepman responds:

Thanks!

I pride myself with that Boss Battle Theme.
I used the same technique found in my Zelda Boss Piano song somewhere in my song list.

Pro Tip - hitting notes faster is easier done on a plastic keyboard.
