ZLEAP's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[MM2: Dance of Mother Machine's Servants]

Such a celebration could only come after the annihilation of man.

The distortion and static feels like some sort of digital bath. I find a strange comfort in the chaos of it all. It's something I can sink into and soak in its density.

It deserves to be more than a concept. Flesh this bad boy out.

Anchorwind responds:

This bad boy has been 'fleshed out.' Hope it was even better than the concept.

[Desperation]

This is definitely something to work on but you've got yourself a nice starting point. I'd start building the atmosphere and give it a bit more character.

I would love to hear a more fleshed out version of this.

Corode responds:

Thanks, I'll see what I can do with it. it's kind of a mess but I can hopefully change that. I am proud of it so far though, I'll work on an improved version.

[Strange - Wasteland wip]

I ran into this while checking out a fan of my musics profile. I have to say, it payed off.

There are several projects of yours I enjoy. Give me a bit and I'm sure to leave my mark on the ones that stand out to me.

I really like the loneliness of this. And I know its a work in progress, but other than adding some supporting sounds, other than that it sounds great.

If you would be interested, I would like to toy around with this and put my spin on it. It would be fun.

[Mortify me]

If I forget that you're using FL Slayer, this almost sounds sounds like an industrial form of Static X.

Unfortunately, Slayer has a distinct, but horrible sound. There are synth instrument/filter combos that are far better than what you're using.

Keep it up and leave Slayer behind. You'll be better off. Trust me.

[Renegade Squad Expect Us!]

This is something I can buy into. It's not something that would make my usual playlist but there are some interesting portions of music in the piece. I'm not a big fan of rap, but I respect the art form for what it is. This is well put together and has a controlled chaos kind of feel to it. Pretty good.

[Jimbo Jones]

Delightfully perverse. Bravo.

TheBigWhiteVan responds:

Fuck you.

[MM1: In the Teeth of the Mother (Extended Gnashing)]

Excellence. It's pure nightmare. To your playlist it goes.

Anchorwind responds:

I have a playlist? Excellent. I'm glad you approve.

[MM1: In the Teeth of the Mother]

When the cycle ends, it begins. What a marvelous idea. This would certainly help out with the dark fantasy I described in my review of the The Resurrection Prayer.

The lo-fi and static sound great together and this one definitely takes me to the dark corners of my mind. I would love to hear an extended version.

Anchorwind responds:

I'm glad you see the vision of the story, not that I doubted you. Your request for an extended version has been granted.

[Days Ahead]

You have such a beautiful voice. If it were possible to make love to a sound, it would be that of your singing. I can feel the torment in your voice without hearing a generic "poor me" vibe to it. Sincerity has taken you a long way, along with your incredible voice. I can't say I completely enjoy the music but it was nothing to sit through while you told your story of mortality and human frailty. I did like the classical instruments though.

This song meant something different to me. As a recovering addict of many substances, I'm sure you can make the connection. But it goes much deeper than that. Mental illness burdened me well before the chemicals did. And well after. I'm sure my music reflects this.

[MM1: The Resurrection Prayer]

This one took me to one of the darkest corners in my mind.

Let's say, for the sake of the fantasy, that I'm fucked up to chain someone up in my basement. I would keep them in complete darkness and blare this track for a month straight. Did I mention they were naked? Yep, naked. If they haven't gone completely mad yet, I'd press play and see them in another month or so.

My imagination is unhealthy at times.

Anchorwind responds:

This response made making this track worth it, by itself.
