[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

crispybatteryacid responds:

Thank you Mr. Octopus :D

[Frog Fashion]

Oooh, groovy! I dunno why, but this does kinda feel like frog music... maybe it's the main instrument you used that reminded me a bit of frog ribbits? Either way though it's a great song! I love the melody, the lighthearted atmosphere and the kind of silliness to it. The instruments you chose in general were also pretty cool. Awesome stuff as always, keep it up :D

BusanBlack responds:

Thank you so much! Yeah I felt this one had a lot of froggy spirit which is like sporadic hopping and croaking.

[Oasis Town]

The description is perfect for the song. The style and atmosphere definitely make the song feel like it came out of an early 2000s rpg, and the instruments only help add onto this. The melody is also really fun and I love the progression throughout the whole song! The melody, harmony and bassline all work super well together. Great work once again, keep it up :)

tysm for listening and giving your thoughts :)

[Calm theme]

Definitely calm, and loungey, I love it :)
The selection of instruments really compliment each other, and the instruments are really well articulated. I just wish it was longer haha. Great work, keep it up!

[Crush]

This sounds so nice! The melody is very happy and exciting, and the combo of instruments you used/when they played in really helped with the happy atmosphere. I like all the different effects you put in here and there too, some of them sound bubbly and joyful. Definitely very dancey too! As always, keep up the awesome work :D

[dorudon]

This does sound like water music, so the title/description is fitting haha. I really like it, it's both chill but could easily be used for some action related sequence (especially the part at 0:35 onwards). The instruments also feel very nice on the ears, they have a nice pop and sound to them. Great work as always, keep it up :D

[heights]

Very relaxing track :)
It has a city at night vibe, which fits both the title you gave the track and the graphic you attached. I really like the instruments you used, and the compression on the main melody as it gave the track a nostalgic kind of feel to it. Chord progression also really helped push the relaxing atmosphere further. Great work once again, keep it up!

dijek responds:

Yup, that's the vibe I was going for. I love making easy-listening stuff. Thank you so much for reviewing again!!

[SRDB]

Something about the main melody in this song just sounds really good! It sounds really playful maybe, and just generally happy. I like the instruments you used as they sound really good all together and the percussion creates great energy too. The ending was also really fitting and great. Awesome work, keep it up :D
