[Dream Adventures]

I love the trickly noise and the weird but awesome percussion you use for the claps, they're so unusual and sound so cool! In general the percussive stuff in here is great, but the melody is very beautiful too. This song is just a journey on its own because it goes so many directions throughout it's length. I can tell you really enjoyed playing with this song that's for sure, it sounds very versatile and fun. Awesome job, keep it up :D

I sure had fun making it :) appreciate your comment!

[Elektricky]

You have a lot of very interesting gates and time play past the intro, which give the song it's weird uniqueness and even actiony edge I'd say, which makes this song perfect for imagining somewhat of a dynamic scene. I love the mastering on this track and the instrumentation choice too, it sounds so different compared to any dubstep I've heard before. I really love how special it came out and it was very cool to listen to, so keep up the awesome work!!

Xehao responds:

Thank you so much for the in depth review. Appreciate the feedback :D

[Mutants]

That was a pretty interesting intro, it felt like it was getting a little out of control but it also felt like it was intentional which was pretty cool! For the rest of the track, the progression was pretty interesting and the bassline was very groovy. The melody was pretty cool too. I love what you did, keep up the great work :D

BusanBlack responds:

Thank you so much for the review. Yeah I was going for like an early 90s game sound in the intro something reminiscent of TMNT.

[Across The Self]

The way you wrote this song somehow really manages to tug onto my emotions, I can't tell what exactly it is... I feel like its maybe the versatility of timbres use (the low growling noises from what sounds like the cello to the light and shrilly violins) and the combination with the slow but beautiful and amazing melody that keeps building up throughout parts of this composition. It's really an amazing piece and feels almost as if it's telling a story. The little intermission with the clarinet (or oboe?) was also so beautiful. This also reminds me a lot of classical music that I enjoy. Keep up the amazing work, I can tell you put a lot of soul into it and that's what makes it special :)

Thank you so very much for your wonderful review and kind words <3
This tune is very near and dear to my heart, and it came straight from my heart as well, really glad that you enjoyed it! :)

[clouds]

This is so beautiful! Throughout listening to this I found so many different parts I really enjoyed. First off the sound choice, such a random one but all the instruments fit so well together! They were also really soothing and I can easily see why you named the song clouds. Secondly the melody was just really beautiful and relaxing, and had multiple parts. Lastly, the progression was just great altogether and it just kept getting more and more interesting! I really love this, keep it coming :D

elemode responds:

ayyy thank you so much! made my day :))

[Nomad's Journey]

I really love the timbre of this guitar, it's very soothing. The song itself also feels like it has a very original desert like melody which is really beautiful. I love the versatility of your strums and I can really hear your handwork in this. It's not often you hear something like this but it's really amazing, keep it up :)

[King Of The Road]

I love me some ym2612 chip sounds lol. This sounds like something that would play in one of those 2D street brawler (?) type of games, for like a boss or something. I also love the progression of this track, it helps keep up the suspense and somehow feels like it's constantly rising or leading to something. Great work, keep more coming :)

Sykozealot responds:

Thank you kindly, the full album is officially out now ^^

Rest assure I will keep more coming in the future as well.

[XTC]

That drop around one minute in wow!!! This song should really have more views it's amazing! I love the energy in this, all the melody progressions and arps, and the whole composition has so many good things about it everywhere. This is also very "feel good" music I think, it's intensity helps add to that. I love this a whole bunch, keep making more amazing music!!

[Sawtooth]

I completely zoned out while listening to this, in a good way lol. It's so cool! It sounds so high energy especially with the breakbeat in the background, but somehow it's super relaxing? It's something that I can listen to so I can think or to feel good about something, it just seems uplifting as a whole. And don't get me started on the textures oooh they are so good! I love how you just put everything together in this track, it's truly amazing. Please keep making more :D

[Barbaric Slaughterhouse]

It feels very good to hear the main part come in right after the long intro. It kind of cuts from just being mysterious to dark and gloomy almost immediately. Even without the name of the song, you'd be able to tell that this was meant for a scary or dangerous place! Kind of also reminds me of doom music a little bit (the OG doom at least). Keep up the great work :)
