[Jungle Bop]

Sounds like late 90s DOS game soundtrack, really cool! I like the groove, and the lower pitched pizzicato strings I'm not used to hearing but make the song sound more unique and cool. The progression is also great and provide enough variety before the song loops. Great work, keep it up!

[Power Move]

Oooh this is nice, really feels like main menu music in a early 2000s game, would definitely work for an intro too! It has that great big band energy with exciting percussion and pumping action throughout, so I think you nailed it. Great work, keep it up!

ItsBurner responds:

Thanks =] I feel like the mixing is a bit rushed

[Believe-Side]

At first I thought the song was kind of noisy, but it actually works well with the song as it goes on and becomes part of its character. This is very relaxing and calming, with a bit of a mystical feeling from the distortion you have over the piece. Also really love the mixing on the piano, it's great and sounds very vibrant. Awesome stuff, keep it up!

Thank you very much! :)

[don't get lost in details]

I instantly got intrigued from the beginning, the key and the soft playing just sounded really nice. When the percussion kicks in it continues to just develop into a very nice and pretty song with some energy to it! The playing feels like it has passion put into it which is very nice for a track of this style too. Kinda gave me sunset at the beach vibes while listening to this. Amazing work as always, keep it up :D

Thank you very much!

[Ominous]

This is interesting; it sounds housey and dark at the same time which is not something I'm used to. But I like it! The build up to the drop was great, and then when it finally happened it was very groovy and spooky. Great mixing and progression too. Keep up the good work!

[Chocnoon - Forever (DCXXIX)]

I found this song because of G2961's recommendation, this sounds amazing! I miss handsup like this honestly, so happy to hear something with such a fun and nostalgic style. The composition is great, the melody feels happy and uplifting, and the instruments you used were perfect for both the atmosphere and genre. This feels like the type of song I'd hear on some YouTube video in the late 2000s and would be dying to find out the track, that's how good it makes me feel haha. Keep up the amazing work!!

Thank you so much, Michael!

[nominomu - the impermanence of dreams]

This sounds so mysterious but relaxing and happy at the same time, I think you did a great job with this! I like where the song carries you, and I also like the crisp effects making this song feel even more like a dream. The only thing I suggest is making the crisp effects a little less abrasive (or maybe just a little quieter), especially at the end, but besides that I have nothing else to suggest as it sounds great otherwise! Awesome stuff, keep it up :)

[Difficult Training]

Sounds very 80s, DX7 was perfect for this haha. I love the dramatic intro that leads into the exciting meat of the song. I think you also did great at making this sound like training montage music, it really works so well! Great stuff, keep it up as always :)

JustDen responds:

Thanks!! I love that 80's style lmao

[A Figment of Your Imagination]

I like how this track feels kinda like, speedy if that makes sense. You have a melody that feels like it progresses at a normal pace, but very fast gates for the harmony give the song an exciting backing. I also like the progression of the song, especially the shift around the middle. Great stuff once again, keep it coming :D
