[Frosty Wilderness]

I never played mega man zero 3 before, but your remix of that song is amazing! It's a great mix of atmospheric, as well as having a great kick of energy in there. Just feels like a bundle of lighthearted fun, especially when the guitars kick in around 1:20. The panning of different instruments and effects was like candy for my ears. Overall amazing remix, keep it up!!

timaeus222 responds:

Thank you! This is a rare instance where I've actually played the game before as well as remixed it. Normally I look for music in games I maybe haven't played!

[Fluorescent Light]

The song goes through so many different phases, and changes up drastically while still seamlessly transitioning between the phases. The instrumentation is awesome and powerful, which really fits with the genre you were going for. The soundscapes you used in addition to the instruments also only amplify the amazing theme you have going. And the pitch change around the middle was awesome, I love pitch changes! All of this piece sounds like an adventure from the beginning right up to the end, and I think you did an amazing job. Keep it up!! :D

[dental floss]

This would be awesome in some kind of crazy late night club action scene in a game; the energy gets so chaotic I think it would fit perfectly. Great job with the further experimentation, keep it up!

wineplume responds:

thank you, as always. i like making stuff that sounds like something so unbearably chaotic that it tickles your brain and messes with your eardrums.

[Rite of Passage]

As always, you do an amazing job at putting emotions and feelings into your song that fit with your desired theme. The beginning of the song really sounded like what it felt like to be a small kid, careless and happy. But by the middle section it started to feel more "responsible" and aware maybe? More grand for sure, which again fits the theme super well. Closer to the end, that feeling is further emphasized with a more mighty finale. Through the whole song you also managed to make it sound happy, and I like that. Getting older isn't as dreadful as a lot of people make it out to be haha. All the while, the instrumentation is amazing, the melody is fantastic, the transitions between the different segments are phenomenal, and overall this is another work of art! Beautiful once again, keep up the fantastic work!!!

[Neptunium 5]

Very interesting atmosphere here; it sounds like something that would play on a mission on mining some kind of alien asteroid in deep space. There's a lot of risk and tension elements, but also mysterious and curious emotions brought out by stuff like the pads. The instrumentation is great, and the progression maintains the atmosphere very well while keeping up the fun of the song. Awesome work here, keep it up!

[Generate]

This definitely sounds really fun! In classic longer house style, there are repetitive parts, but not in a bad way at all, as you build on them a lot and make the progression fun and bouncy. The atmosphere of the song is very magical, fsr it makes me think of a glowy mushroom forest at night. It also has a really nostalgic feel, but I'm not sure why haha. Either way it's amazing, keep up the great work!!

Neojock responds:

Thank you! Yeah I really wanted to nail that mystical vibe with this one. Thanks again for listening!

[HOVERCAT]

Damn this is so funky! I love the progression a bunch, and the instruments in this are awesome. Sounds like it came straight out of a sonic game or something for some reason, and I mean that in the best way possible. I love how much variety you got in this too, it feels like a fun and exciting trip from beginning to end. Awesome work, keep it up!!!

[Macrolisk]

This sounds so hard, I love it :O
Almost instantly the song gets into the thick, heavy and grungy metal that goes all over the place. As it progresses it keeps evolving with the melody, and even stuff like percussion. This would fit perfectly for some kind of super mechanical boss fight or a battle against some demon in a game. Amazing work, keep it up!!

Burn7 responds:

Thanks dude, I'm glad you liked it! Appreciate the listen and the review!

[waiting room]

So heavy, love it! This would be perfect for some kind of game lobby while you wait to start a match in an FPS, it has that amped up feeling that would fit perfectly. Great work, keep it up :D

[Epiphany]

This song is so dramatic and energetic, I love it! I think you really got the "epiphany" feeling done well here, as it begins with this slow and curious intro that progresses in to this spaced out and dramatic portion, so the name is very fitting. The instrumentation is amazing, everything feels like it comes in just at the right time. The mixing is also great, and the variation is so perfect as the song doesn't get boring at any point. Amazing work here, keep it up!!

TheRealMannyHeffley responds:

I appreciate the response, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm just getting back into the workflow of making dnb so there will be plenty more songs coming out soon :)
