[Astral Observatory - Majora's Mask]

Astral Observatory has to be one of my favorite, if not my most favorite tracks from Majoras Mask or Zelda as a whole. Saying this, I really love this cover! I love the beat you added, it is in tune with the already calm nature of the original. The instruments are also great, and sound more than just HQ versions of the original ones as you even switch them up here and there. Great work overall, keep it up!

BlakCatMusic responds:

Thank you so much for the kind words, I checked out some of your songs and I'm extremely impressed with the quality your songs have as well

[Bridges of Life]

Sounds nice! Kind of with an exciting atmosphere and happiness, but also with a good punch of action. I like the synths you used, and the percussion you used really fit as well with everything else going on. Keep up the good work!

[Pink Clouds]

What a relaxing and pretty song! I really love how versatile the melody gets here, and the bit crushing just feels so nice to listen to. It also feels very mood lifting, happy and just relaxing. This would work very well in a video game for some nice little seaside town or something, like in Pokemon or something haha. Great work, keep it up!!!

CrowGoblin responds:

I am glad you enjoyed, thanks for listening!

[Neutron Star]

Getting a lot of classic trance vibes from this, great composition! It has that really cool progressive energy to it with different phases, and just really puts your head into space or something as you listen to it more and more. I love the piano like instrument with the flute in this, it helps make the song calmer amidst the pumping energy and gives it a nice atmosphere. Great work, keep it up!

[Christmas Is Coming]

I love the feel of this, its very cinematic but also very happy! Definitely fits the whole christmas music atmosphere, but with interesting harder hits (in an emotional/good way) than usual. The percussion was a great choice with the jingle bells and everything, and the bells also really helped add to the atmosphere too. Great work, keep it up!!

MaxKoMusic responds:

Thank you!

[Glacial Upheaval]

Beautiful, cinematic, and orchestral, I really like it! It definitely had a mighty chilliness to it, especially in the beginning with the pad/bell intro, so the title is really fitting. I also really like how you incorporated synth elements, made the song sound more fantasy-y. Percussion was also very well picked out and orchestrated. Amazing work, keep it up :D

crispybatteryacid responds:

Thank you kindly!

[Subzero]

Dark and dancey, nice! I love the square lead, it was a great choice along side that crunchy dark and low bass. The atmosphere is also really nightclub-y with an action element to it. It's both danceable but also would work great in some dark action game or something haha. Keep up the great work!

Dead-Again responds:

Thank you so much

[ictg18]

This had a very cool spacey-actiony energy to it. Kind of like impending doom atmosphere with a really tight time. The leads you picked were perfect, and the tempo acceleration in the beginning and deacceleration at the end were cool choices. I could totally see something like this be used for an action phase in some space game too! Great work, keep it up :)

[Cheshyre - MC9 - Djjaner Remix (2024 remake)]

Great energy, awesome leads, and just great remix all together! Fits super well with the crazy and chaotic feel of madness, with your own unique touch to it. Awesome track in general, keep it up!

[Mushy Motion]

This sounds fun! I know it's good because even though I don't know how to describe mushy, it sounds very mushy haha. I love the synths you used, and the percussion was a great pick. Sounds like something that would be really fun to listen to on a car ride or just a long road trip. Great stuff, keep it up :D

Lalalo14 responds:

Haha yeah mushy is something you just feel. Can't describe it. Thanks alot man!
