"I hadn't seen (or even heard of) it, but.. [752.2]"

submission: The Room: The Musical

date: September 17, 2009

I thoroughly enjoyed the epic badness of your musical version of the ROOM. I haven't reviewed your stuff before, but I've seen a couple of your Twilight/True Blood things in the past, and always had a good time despite never having seen/read anything to do with them, either.... I don't care about spoilers for things I'll likely never see.

In any event, it was interesting to see you mock a non-vampire story for once, but then I went to wikipedia and read up on the Room (which I might just havev to check out at some point thanks to this flash) and on its creator and I thus stumbled across THIS little bit of info:

"In addition, [Tommy] Wiseau plans to make a vampire film (or films),[5][6] which may be shot in Austin, Texas.[4] Wiseau has stated that he currently has two 100-page vampire scripts, and hopes to film both."

Looks like you're in for a field day soon enough. Wiseau + Vampires.... together at last! Enjoy, and keep on keepin' on.

Score: 9

"You win most epic flash of CD09 [752]"

Nothing beats a great tale of revised history unless it's a great tale of revised history with some Top Gun music added in. Oh, ClamClock, if only you had been there that fateful day. (sniff)

I've seen some epilepsy flashes today, and I've seen some good ones and some bad ones. Main thing is... I've seen SOME. Today. And... well, this one blows 'em all away.

I'll leave it at that.

Signing off, from beyond the grave, apparently....

"Needs moar wrenchin' [10]"

submission: Dispenser Erectin'

date: February 6, 2009

Wrenchin' being to TF2 what cowbell is to Blue Oyster Cult songs, I guess.

The intro was very excellent, and the sounds of the wrenchin' along with the various equipment building sounds was very promising, I thought perhaps you were gonna feature nothing but that sort of percussion. So it was a BIT of a letdown to hear normal beats along with all the synthy voices + TF2 char voices throughout the rest of the song, but... it was still quite excellent. I mean, come on... Portal gets so many song tributes thanks to Still Alive, it's nice to hear TF2 get some love in the fan-made song department.

Kudos.

Score: 10

"Boy am I glad I was in the portal a moment ago [9]"

submission: {Blaze}

Otherwise I wouldn't have happened upon your song. The flash itself was nothing special, in fact I got distracted by an IM after watching a bit of it, but thus your song continued in the background for several minutes as I IMed and browsed the web.

Great, great song. Takes me right back to the glory days of RageVI and ParagonX9 in the early days of the Audio Portal. You know, though it's a bit cleaner and simpler (not that that's a bad thing) than most techno on mp3.com (the old, original 1990s mp3.com that paid artists for their music a shitload pre-internet bubble collapse, I mean), this song would have been good enough to earn you 10,000s of $s back then (me, I earned $220 bucks back then, heh). Great stuff.

And I just realised while looking through my meager 8 audio reviews up to now (well, I've made a couple more, but some songs got deleted, bleh) that you're the same dude who made {Sunlight}, which was one of the songs that got me to start audio reviewing again after 3 years of not doing it. I should really listen to all your stuff in one go, but I actually love finding new jewels by you and others here by someone just happening to put them in a flash (no matter the quality of the flash). Great work, I should say more about the song itself, but I'll sum it up with:

Absolutely love the strings during the slowing fade-out, BTW, and some of the builds you... built. #;-}> As great as the energy level is through most of this one, I'd love to hear you do an ambient/chill-out song with some similar synths to this.

"Entrancing... [8.2]"

submission: ~EnV~Heaven Rd. 2 (Ng mix)

date: August 28, 2008

Love the Russian Space Programesque ping noises at the start of the song, first off. I'm sure there's a much better, shorter, and more accepted term for that type of synth, but I'm sure everyone can tell what I mean. Heh.

Reminds me of a techno artist from the old late 90s mp3.com.... PPK2000 or something like that. Also of this one song from Hooj Choons vol. 3.

ANYWHO... only even heard this because of some simple, basic maze game just submitted to the portal this past hour, but the song really spruced it up. Aside from the awesome spacey synths, I like the breakdown, especially once the hi-hat kicks in. The vocal sample is... okay, but almost used too much, especially since it's a bit too Mortal Kombatish for the song, IMO. But 80% of the time I prefer female vox in techno, so I'm prolly biased. #;-}>

Great job, lots of lush layers, plenty of stuff to listen for on re-listens... well deserving of being in 20+ flash entries!
