[Gemini]

This whole song was really nice, but I especially like the lead up to the drop starting around 0:40, that was really cool! And the drop itself is amazing. I love dubstep that sounds like this because the sweet melodies really help boost the song to an awesome experience. The instruments you used were very nice and the whole thing really came together with all the melody changes. Amazing work, keep it up!!!

[Artemis]

This was so pretty, I listened to the whole thing while looking at art in the background and the whole time it felt very nice! There was definitely a spacey feeling to this so I think the name you gave it suits it well. The instruments were also really nice, and the melody was constantly changing so the song never stagnated. I really liked it overall, so keep up the great work!

[Into The Heaven]

This is so beautiful, with so few instruments you really manage to make this song feel entrancing, emotional, and shift through different feelings all at once. It's one of those songs that relaxes you, yet feels like it resonates in your chest with how powerful it is. I love this very much, I don't think I have the right words to even describe why haha. Keep up the amazing work!

[Dreamtear]

The structure of this was so interesting, I loved it! The grainy noise in the intro was a cool lead into the pre drop melody, but the drop itself is crazy. Very melodic for dubstep too which I really enjoy. The intermission lets you catch a good break from all the chaos before it kicks in again which is also really cool. Just great work all together, keep it up!

[breaktree]

This is so chaotic and messy, yet somehow organized into a very enjoyable song, I liked this a lot! Only thing is I wish it was longer haha. But I love all the glitchy effects you put into this and the breaks you used. It was very exciting the whole way through. Awesome work, keep it up :)

[On the Other Side of the World]

I can completely relate to feeling like the song is a mess or hard to mix, so I get you. But honestly the mixing on this isn't that bad, and if anything the song is really saved by it's awesome sounding melody! Sure it gets a little too loud at parts but I really love how it sounds and almost don't notice it unless I pay attention. I love the instruments you used, and the very happy tune that changes throughout. The introduction of strings at 2:57 is very beautiful, and the strange vocal instrument was def a really cool addition too! Great work, keep it up :D

LordAndiso responds:

Thank you, honestly.. what could save it would be the removal of certain instruments when another comes in. the strange vocal instrument is a free Vocaloid plugin.

[Dormant Phases]

I think this is very nice and uplifting actually! It definitely fits an "after storm" feeling, maybe as the skies start to open up but are still gray. The instruments you used work so well together and sound very beautiful, and the melody never stagnates while constantly increasing that feeling of being uplifted. Awesome work, keep it up!

Hypervolt responds:

Thank you so much! Definitely the vibe I was going for :)

[First Snow]

This was so beautifully made! I love the light, calming and night time sounding melody. The plucked strings made a great instrument for an intro melody, leading into more beautiful plucks and strings for the main part. It can easily fit as part of a story, cutscene, animation, and so much more. And as a side thing I like the colors you used for your channels haha

Great job though, keep it coming!

[Vendetta Speedway]

This really reminds me of Metallic Madness from CD and Mania for some reason, I dig it a lot! Would definitely fit well in some racing game for some kinda freaky factory level or industrial track. There's a lot of funkiness to it, and that change towards 1:28 sounds like a last lap type of transition. Great work, keep it coming!

[Dig Dug]

Wow I love the fast paced melody that kicks in around 10 seconds, it's very retro! It's very happy and playful and it would work very well in some arcade game from back then. I think it's cool how you did something so nice with so little. Great work, keep it up :D

Viraxor responds:

Thank you! I will try to keep it up :)
