Johnny-Beat's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-=LJC=- ²³apples]

Hey, what is this?

I leave for a while, I come back and LJ Coffee is a famous music producer? ^_^
Seriously man, it's been too long. I've been out doing petty little things, but i'm finally starting to jump back into the music scene!
Back to the topic, this track is bloody incredible. Choppy flow beat, the light "butterfly kisses" the backround pad eminates, and those sliced vocals, jeez. If you've never heard of Prefuse 73, look them up as soon as possible, because this reminded me alot of them, and im SURE you'd like them.
Anyway, yeah man. A great piece from start to finish. Hop on aim, brah. Gotta catch up
~ Johnny-Beat

LJCoffee responds:

Holy beanbags! How've you been man! Been a while since we've spoken - I'm glad to hear that you are getting back into your music - I'll have to remember to check your submission page for new stuff. Prefuse 73 rings a bell - I don't own any of their stuff though - I'll have to go check them out.

I get on AIM every so often - I'm sure I'll catch you on there soon.

Talk to you later.

[-=LJC=- Blitz]

amazing!

feels like i took acid in an elevator.

i love the gamey sounds in between the main beat

spooky pads add a nice touch

the fade out was done perfectly.

i like! keep up the good work my friend.

LJCoffee responds:

Thanks Johnny - Acid in an elevator huh? I'm glad you liked it!

I'll talk to you a bit later!

[Acoustic_Chill]

Astounding!!!

Wow LJ, you did supremely well on that track.
It's a different style for you indeed, and I love it.
This sounds professional. I can't explain what it
is, but the chords you use sound so deep. I'm
flabbergasted and amazed! Sound almost like
Oasis (band). The only thing i SLIGHTLY didn't
like was how the beat cut off near the ending
while the guitar kept strumming. Maybe you
might fade it off instead. GREAT JOB.

You rock up there in tampa. Keep up your work!

-Johnny_Beat

LJCoffee responds:

I hear ya - I actually tried it that way - with the beat sort of fading off - actually I faded it out while increasing the reverb but after I listened to it a few times I decided to change it a little - after messing with it for a while and still not liking anything I ultimately just decided to cut the beat out hard at the end like that... Oh well - thanks again - I'll catch you online sometime over the weekend.

[Troubled (3min42sec)]

You certainly deserve more DL's.

How long has it been old friend?
I've been out and about, seemingly
everywhere these days. Going to
beatbox competitions and blowing
them all away...I love my beatboxing,
but I really do want to become a better
music maker. I just need to correctly
learn..."Jump right in" is not my style,
music-wise, I suppose. This song was
especially great! I lovvveee the arps.
Could've used a little more power with
the beat. The clap just didn't do it for
me. This song is very..."conflict"-ish,
and a powerful snare would've been
better than just the clap, at least to me.
Still, it was very very nice. Quite relaxing.
I think it's bullshit when I see cats with
no talent and no skills have more DL's
than you. Well hey, if you're ever in kendall,
give me a jingle. Better yet, get on some
time! Keep it real, Admiral!

-Johnny_Beat

AdmiralConquistador responds:

Beatboxing comptetions? You blow everyone away? That's awesome man! Yea dude, I'm in Kendall right now, it's 12/23, so I think I'm gonna give you that ring-a-ding, you owe me a pack of smokes :), but I owe you Reason so you have me beat

[Remission_Warder]

Exquisite.

LJ! My word friend, it's been a while.
We havn't spoke since you were screwing
around with that BOT of yours : - )
Nice work! Those crazed bongos were a nice
touch of diversity. The song had a sort
of strange yet organized ambient feel to it,
giving it a unique taste. I really enjoyed it.
LJ, lately i've been having some trouble. Well,
actually get online some time and I'll tell
you in person. Stay well my friend!

-Johnny_Beat

LJCoffee responds:

Hey Johnny! - I don't currently have anything installed but I'll get AIM back up and running I'll try to catch you over the next few days.

Thanks for the review - a few people have been commenting on the bongos - it's actually a tabla - a similar instrument.

I'll try to catch you online and I hope I can help out - will I need to come down to your neighborhood to help kick someones ass?

Talk to you later...

[Psybot - Lightspeed]

good work, however...

Careful Psybot.
Your music has caught the audience's ear.
(I remember commenting on first level when like, 40 people had downloaded it. Now look, it's your first platinum!)
However, you need more diversity.
There seems to be a pattern in your techno songs:
The transitions. They are musically correct for
techno, but by constantly using the same ones you
end up boring the listener. You know I love how you make
your music, and I like this one alot (i actually wasnt a very big fan of the now gold-track "heaven cries"), so please take my advice. Wander off into other areas of music, Jazz, Happy hardcore trance, drum n bass, ambient. With diversity comes a new and wonderful sense of skill.
-Johnny_Beat

Psybot responds:

Johnny_beat!

of all reviews i have got this far, this have to be the best!
You are giving me the facts and advice that i really want.

Johnny... i will follow your advice and try something new.

so i will try to make a song to tribute you...

im not sure if i have heard your music... but it doesnt matter. a guy that can give advices like this have to be something special. '

Thx for your review!

[Psybot - Rumble]

This song is why I breath.

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, dear God. Absolutely incredible. This is PERFECT.
I thought at First Level you'd be a one hit wonder, I was wrong. You've done an amazing job on this song, the only problem is: It sounds like it was made through chocolate milk. Make it sound clearer, crisper. DONT CHANGE THE SONG AT ALL, just make it more clean. It really is amazing. I've heard all your stuff, loved about 5 of your songs, but this one completely takes the cake. What, or who, are you thinking of when you make a piece like this? As a writer I know that no one person can make a piece of art, whether it be music, poetry, paintings, void of inspiration, at this level. My fuel is a girl named Maria, and the God above me. And in listening to this song, I can only wonder.

What's yours?

Psybot responds:

Wow. nice review.

when it comes to the inspiration part, im not sure what makes me come up with songs.
for the most of the times its pure silence and a little touch of boredom.
sometimes it is other peoples music, or games.

anyway. thx for your review:D

[Eckhart's Breakdown]

this isnt jazz.

what in your right mind made you think this was jazz?

good playing, but please dont mislead friend.

EckHart responds:

yea sorry about that man. I was in a hurry to go somewhere, so I just clicked a random genre, and left it assuming it would load. Again sorry, and I'm glad you like it.

[4trex]

good beat...good melody...crap quality.

when the clarity is low it brings down your entire song,

and it was clear at absolutely no point, so your song

was crappy-sounding. i like the beat itself, and the

melody, but it sounded like it was made through a

bowl of tomato soup. i gave you a three because you

obviously worked hard on it, just work harder on it,

and make the quality better. if you ask me, a song's

sound shouldn't be sacrificed for it being longer...

- Johnny_Beat

stolencrank responds:

i appreciate your moment, and i took your advice and made a better quallity version, hopefully this is an improvement from the last one, cheers
