makiuchi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[There is no God...]

This is a sad song that strangely gives me faith in myself. Good work man.

[-King Poseidon-]

I agree this is not typical Waterflame, but I think that your talents work well even under the rock genre. The guitar background definitely gave the song the epic feel, and with superior headphones, they made me get up and jam out to it.

I'd say keep experimenting with guitar, but don't simply give more parts to it, just switch around 1 guitar among background and melody. Obviously your forte is the creation of melodies, so try to incorporate the guitar. Maybe look at guitar solos from a band like Rhapsody of Fire, that incorporate the lead into their entrancing music.

Your song made me feel like a champion of my patron god POSEIDON. Please continue the tributes!

[The Falling Mysts]

Not only has your music inspired me to rethink how I utilize music, but it has also made me love electronic/trance/techno music in general.

This particular song is just another example of your captivating work. I really do get goosebumps listening to it, and it drives me to work - especially because my work is so ambitious and looks towards the future.

As a final thought, you have grown as an artist since I began to listen to your music being at the top rated of Newgrounds' Techno charts so many years ago. Instead of a more conservative, focus in your work, you seem to have branched into certain fantastical aspects that are reminiscent of an ideal "Final Fantasy." Before, I would listen to songs and visualize rain (ironic, I know. Plus I love rain!) but for the first time, with this song, I think of crystals.

I don't know if you feel as confidently about this song as your have of others in the past, but please keep working in this direction. This is the kind of music that just resonates "Bad-ass."

Best,
Valgothar aka Makiuchi

My favorite techno song by you

I know you said you regret making this song but i find it the best song to listen to especiallly while gaming

[Icicle]

Heading in a great direction!

I think you are progressin the an awesome direction :D, the new use of isntruments is great and look forward to seeing more soing with this type of expansion, one critiscism, at 1:24 when it changes, I would've liked to hear the meldody instrument go high since there is no other high sounds supporting it,

Very nice

I live the fact that you keep the low bass beat keeping the song together and gives it a very nice transition between stages of the song. Awesome job :D and ive been a fan for a long time

[»§« Coming Home]

Diferent enough to make it amazing

After the guitar and drums coming i was expecting a regular heavy metal song, i just want to say that your voice is high enough to counter the lwo screaming of most heavy metal, its very original. One criticism, i like the song, just the lyrics are a bit out of feeling,and needa bit more depth. Once you do another song with better lyrics i think you have the talent to become very very awesome

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you very much! I'm glad you have a sense of diversity, we're trying quite hard to make something new. Yeah, I know what you mean with the lyrics. > >; I'm a bit rusty with my poetry.. I haven't written any in a long time, and these were just kind of a spur the minute type thing. Thank you for believing in me though, we'll do our best to make something even better! Thanks for listening!
With love,
