[A Slightly Warmer Shade of Hot Pink]

Another great track with great energy! There's a lot going on, and I love the glimmers that are there throughout the song, gives it a bit of a magical feel. Progression is also really fun, and feels kinda sunset-y? But yeah I love it, keep it coming :D

[Future90 - Encapsulation]

Sounds pretty, kind of makes me think of a dense forest with daylight breaking through for some reason. It's very atmospheric and spacey, and the instruments fit together nicely. Sounds a little quiet though haha. Great work, keep it up!

Future90 responds:

tysm ! :D

[Golden Hour]

Sounds very chilled out and relaxing, definitely got a tropical feel to it too! Also like how it has some 80s instrument stuff mixed in, the bass sounds kinda 80s and so do the bells/some other instruments. Would fit perfectly for a sunset at a pretty city beach. Great work as always, keep it up!

[ZENITH]

This sounded so nice! Idk what it is about this song but it kinda reminds me of old tracker music, maybe because of the bell like piano instrument you have throughout? It sounded crushed and just fit so well with all the other more hq sounding instruments. I also liked this song because it just feels like something that you can easily space out to while also being groovy and danceable. Just great atmosphere all together I think, awesome work and keep it up!

[Just Breath]

Great chill song! I like the combo of the warm "dragging" pads in contrast to the faster flowing percussion. It sounds like both space, and also running water if that makes sense. Just generally creates for a very nice atmosphere! The instruments you picked fit so nicely together, and are also very well articulated. The repetitive nature of the song also fits with the atmosphere as it helps install further calmness. Amazing work, keep it up!

Dead-Again responds:

I appreciate you breaking down the elements you like about the songs I put out. It helps me with new ideas, thank you.

[Oxygen]

This sounds great! The mixing is really nice, and the bass sounds pleasant on the ears. The atmosphere is also cool, it sounds like something that would fit some kind of cyberpunk city balcony or something. One of my favorite things though is the crushing that comes in around 1:10, it was very pretty. Great work, keep it up!!

[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!
