[And You Shall Know Release]

The melody in this song is so exciting! I love the rifs, the groove, and everything about it. It feels really good to listen to, if you know what I mean. I love fast parts in the song as well, they are very intense yet somehow relieving. This almost sounds like happy og Doom music? lol. Anyways great work, keep it coming!

Banana-head responds:

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed!

[A Time Where We All Felt Alive]

I like the slow introduction of different instruments here through repetition, it's very beautiful. The song feels deep and mysterious, with the instruments slowly starting to swell more and more wit h time. The intro and outro were done very well too. Very beautiful cohesiveness of it all, so great work, keep it up!

Thank you for the analysis! Always nice to hear people break down what they liked! 🙂

[REMIX - Rainbow Road (MK8/MK8D) V3]

Ah my favorite rainbow road, the one with the shittiest turn in the end yay!!!
Jkjk this sounds awesome though, I love it! Very calm and relaxing actually, kinda makes you space out (all in a good way though). The pads were a very nice addition and helped add to the room and atmosphere of the song. I loved the pluck you used for the intermission part, especially when you layered it with the guitar before around 1:45. But yeah awesome work, keep it coming! :D

Thank you for the kind comment, I really appreciate it!

[TenToTu - TORPEDO]

What a fun glitchy combination of drum n bass and chiptune, love it! The beginning sounds very dramatic with the arp and ends with it as well, and everything in between gets so much more intense. The patterns for breaks that you used were very fitting and really carried the whole song. Great work, keep it coming :D

[O-77 - 1x1 rubics cube (ID)]

There's so much great things about this track done right! The space is nice and massive especially in the intro, the glitchy effects are very well done, the choice of instruments make everything work together very well, and so much more! The melodies for both the dubstep and intermission parts are very nice and fun to listen to, and overall the whole song feels very cohesive. Great work, keep it up!

Yo tnx appreciate it a lot!

[Personal]

Awesome chord progressions and arps here, love it! The progression is very dramatic and beautiful, and it feels like a fun mix between trance and dance. This would probably work very well for a space level or scene in a game or animation. Great work, keep it up :D

[Art Class]

Very beautiful, calming and peaceful. Sounds like it was played live, which even if it wasn't this is still a very great job! The melody progresses without really repeating much at all, and it kind of feels like a lullaby or something you can easily drift off to. The instruments also sound very natural. Great work, keep it up :D

RaceTTar responds:

Thanks for the very nice review! Good observations. You're right, it was not exactly "live" (meaning like on stage, etc..) but most everything was recorded "first take", but I guess it works ok somehow. Cool that you enjoyed it. Thanks again.

This sounds awesome! It's very energetic and fast paced, full of nice instruments and very intense bass. I love the trance dancey beat you gave it and all the different phases. Feels almost as if it could have easily been part of the base game Geometry Dash roster. And I love pitch shifts so much so that was a great way to end the song! Great work, keep it up :D

Sounds easily like something that could have came out of Majora's Mask's last day, with a little bit of synthwave mixed into it. I love it! It really sounds lost and mysterious, confusing and fascinating all at the same time. But yeah it's short and simple yet very sweet, so keep up the great work :D

ssymboint responds:

Thank you, I appreciate it. I just listened to it and woah, that's a dark track. I'm inspired xD The unknown and the mysterious will always fascinate me. There's something beautiful within the ugly as always. Small tracks like these are the most fun too :D

Edit: I tripled the length ahaha
