[Dem0n1x - Butterfly]

As soon as I heard the guitar I instantly got Robert Miles vibes, really cool! It still sounds very original though both in terms of melody and how you decided to do the progression. It's very colorful, uplifting, happy, and maybe a little spacey too. I love how with time you added more instruments and layers, it made the song sound more and more complete with time. Sounds completely like awesome classic trance, it's amazing!! Keep it up :D

Wow!
Thanks octopus58, you made my day xD

[Urix - On My Own]

What a colorful and uplifting song, I love it!! It's definitely very dancey, also melodic (which I really like in dubstep), and the progression is awesome. I love the hard sounds without the grit, it provides for a softer sounding approach for the more melodic sections. But when the grittier stuff kicks in sometimes it provides for perfect "classic" dubstep sound. Great stuff, keep it coming!

[Rev Your Engines]

I've never played those racing games you've mentioned, but this song sounds great and would definitely fit a racing game! It's got that jazzy vibe packed with funky energy and just big brass and everything. Things are very well timed and everything feels like it comes in at just the right moment to make things feel grand and exciting. I also absolutely love the articulation on the guitar! As always, your music never fails to impress, keep up the awesome work :D

[Midnight Calling]

Sounds like a really dreamy and magical night time song :)
I like all the instruments you used, they fit a lot with this soft and happy vibe you were probably going for. The more FX sounding instruments were also really cool, like that one scratchy squeaky instrument that backs the melody towards the second half and stuff, that was really interesting. Progression was also great, and varied up a lot throughout. Great work here, keep it up!

[Lady Maria]

This song is uplifting and it sounds like you are soaring above the clouds :)
All the instruments work very well with a happy song, and it just sounds so light and calm. It's not sleepy though because of the energy you put in and the sidechain gate. The melody is simple but it honestly really works with this song as well. Great stuff once again, keep it coming!

[Path of Wind]

I haven't watched Totoro in ages, so I don't remember any of the music... but this recreation is very beautiful! It has great emotion in it, and interesting progression. I like the piano you used, it already sounds pretty emotional/sad on its own, but the percussion is kind of helps the song be more uplifting. The guitar was an interesting addition but helped increase the dramatic aspect of the song as well. Great work, keep it up!

[Tangelo Town]

I didn't read the description until right after the main melody kicked in after the intro and I got hit by a huge wave of nostalgia. I was wondering why and yeah, it definitely sounds like something that came out of Pokemon Pearl or Diamond haha. I love the melody in general, it sounds happy and sweet. The samples you used also sound like they came from the DS. I like how the bridge reuses the motif but with a more rhodes piano like instrument. But yeah this is wonderful, happy, and accurate to how you wanted it to sound; keep up the amazing work!!

Я думаю это первый раз я слышу твою музыку с словами. Обычно я слушаю музыку только без слов, но я стараюсь разнообразить. Лирика прикольная, и слова очень добрые :)

А мелодия как обычно супер! Всегда рад слышать твои новые треки. Так держать!!

This is so pretty! I can't believe you made it in an hour, it sounds so nice and warm, but also it varies up pretty nicely within the small duration as well. I really love the pitch bends you use on the melody sometimes, and the instruments in general just sound really nostalgic and happy. Definitely also has strong dance energy to it. Slow down towards the end was also a pretty cool touch! Amazing work, keep it up :D
