[A Reason to Dance]

Damn this instantly feels dancey, I love it! The buildup is great, and there's just so much funkiness to it all. The brass makes the song pop and sound so vibrant! It feels like this would play during some kind of fancy or dancy walk through a city. The percussion you picked is top notch and works with everything so well! Everything just works together super well here honestly. Sounds awesome, keep up the great work!!

Thank you!!

[FALSE GODS]

This definitely sounds menacing and threatening, I think you did a really good job on conveying that emotion. Also sounds very grand. I like the slow evolution of the melody, as it draws out the suspense, and the sage of strings was top notch. Great work, keep it up :D

[Rush the Fray (Combat Music)]

Very full and beautiful! It just feels like you cover so many ranges with this that the song feels luscious and bountiful if that makes sense. I love how every instrument gets its turn to shine, the percussion fits perfectly, and the timing is great on everything. It definitely also suits a combat theme! Amazing work on this in general, keep it up!!

Psyware responds:

I appreciate the thoughtful review, glad you liked it!

[Artch - First Trial]

Звучит супер! Прямо с начало очень красиво и энергично. Мелодия постоянно эволюционирует в чего не будь новое и прекрасное. Динамика отличная, и миксинг очень профессионально звучит. В общем трек классный, так держать!!

Gl1tchMe responds:

Спасибо, мне очень приятно! :)

[Marianz - The Journey Begins]

This is so awesome! It sounds like one of those orchestra warmup things at first but with such a powerful kick and an epic melody. It makes me feel like I'm soaring haha. Amazing stuff, keep it up :D

ElMarianz responds:

Thanks dude, that was exactly the feel i wanted to give when listening to this track, so glad to see that it worked. Thanks man!!

[Snow Angels]

Pretty! I like how soothing this sounds, and especially when a little more instruments kick in around 0:30. Sounds like it would work very well in an ambient game or something similar. Great stuff, keep it up :D

[Sunset and Normandie]

Woah, trippy
I love it though! The melody constantly evolves and keeps moving. While sounding relaxing and familiar, it also feels like a journey or slightly floating through the sky. The sitar like guitar instrument gives this song such a nice timbre, and the bass being a similar instrument also really helps. It also is making me feel a little sleepy haha but I think that's because it just sounds so pretty and calm. Keep up the awesome work, I love this!

Pondererer responds:

Thanks so much, man! Appreciate this more than you know boss :)

[Beach Sunrise]

What an awesome ride! It starts out sounding tropical, and then technoey, then trancey, and more. It's a very interesting way to do progression and mix genres, and it keeps things interesting for sure. Mixing is also very well done. Keep up the great work!

[witless whiskers]

Sounds so exciting :O
I like the chiptune style, and I really dig the progression. It sounds like it keeps changing like a dynamic little adventure! Amazing work with the melody, percussion, and bass. All of it comes in at the right times through the whole thing. Keep em coming!
