SquishypuffDave's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Young Mind]

Oooooh.

Very wierd and cool. I really like the way you've started to branch out in your classical music. You seem to have created a new genre completely.

Bosa responds:

Why thank you! I'm not sure what the genre should be called, however.

[Farmland (True)]

My sincerest apologies, but...

I liked the first one much better, even if you weren't satisfied by the ending. I liked that ending (despite the abrupt cutting off of the reverb). I like the instrumentation in the first one better too, the sound seemed... fuller. I don't think the soft piano part at the end needed expanding either; it was perfect as it was and I found myself hanging onto every note. As beautiful as this is, I hope you understand why I like the first Farmland better.

Bosa responds:

Why are you apologizing? You liked the first one better, and you want people to know. You've accomplished that, so you don't have to apologize for liking something.

[Homeward Bound]

I had an inkling at first, now I know.

You are, hands down, the best classical composer in existence. I first showed your song Farmland to my cousin, and you are now his favourite composer. Then I showed it to my friend who is pretty much an unofficial classical music critic, and he loved it and asked me to download it for him. Then yesterday I was playing one of your songs on piano and someone came and asked what it was. I mentioned your name, then he said that he'd go and check your music out. And you know the reason people love your music? Firstly because you are obviously extremely talented at waht you do, and secondly because you pour your heart out into every song. I love classical music because it sounds so beautiful, but most of it lacks meaning for me, like it exists purely to sound good. YOUR MUSIC on the other hand evokes emotions I can hardly describe, like an irrepressible optimism that gives the listener the privelige of being able to smile at their life, whatever their situation is. This piece? Flawless.

[Completed Repairs (4min20sec)]

Better than the first, obviously.

This was fantastic, but I feel it dragged on a bit. It seems like you wait until the tune becomes tedious before you start something new, for example I felt like the bassline should have changed much earlier than it did. This would be okay as a backing track for a flash animation but doesn't do much for the song by itself. I'd suggest a keychange or something of the sort. Then again I'm not much of a musical guru so feel free to ignore my hypocriticism, maybe I'm just missing the more subtle transitions. Good tune though, I loved the muted guitar.

[Then I Seen Her Beauty]

Beautiful.

This is possibly my favourite piece on newgrounds. What was it that drove you to write this? One of your best yet I reckon.

Bosa responds:

Love drove me to write this one.

[Life Weaver]

Love it but...

Not sure what to think about the drums. It was beautiful but I would have preferred something a bit lighter and less standard in the way of percussion, however that's my opinion so no need to change your style if that's how you want it.

[Farmland]

Wow!

I have been listening ot your music for some time, and I can honestly say I've never heard anything quite like this from you. One of your best tracks to date, very energetic, happy and emotional at the same time. It sounds a little bit like Thomas Newman, and believe me, that's a real compliment.

Bosa responds:

Thomas Newman.. hmm.. Ah! I believe I know of him, he composed music for Cinderella Man. I thank you for the compliment, I wish I had a cookie to give you or something.

[Earthbones]

Fantastic

For this, I imagine a very intense battle between two people who both want the same thing, but also against an unimaginable force, like a collapsing building or something. It really gives the feeling of danger looming nearer. 10 stars.

[K&K - Devine Crusade]

Impressive.

I'm seriously thinking of buying the album when it comes out :D

[K&K - Dragons]

Best yet.

This is my favourite out of all your K&K cues. I just love the percussion :) I'm hoping for some more laid-back music from the project, to add a bit more variety.
