[Vista Sounds - Dear Diary II]

Nice, calm, pretty, and magical! You make great use of instruments together to create emotion and intrigue. The song sounds very hopeful too, and kind of curious. I really like the build up you have going from start to finish as well. Keep up the great work!

I always appreciate you leaving detailed reviews, even if your reviews are laconic yet upbeat. :)

[humming to sulfur rains]

This is a really cool ambient track! It just sounds so peaceful, but also has a bit of energy and action in it. Definitely feels like you're just on some alien planet watching the rain or something. All the instruments are also very beautiful and mesh together super nice. Also the end is really cool, how everything just starts to kind of bleed out and blend. Amazing work once again, keep it coming!!

Lirrezzz responds:

thank you so much! I appreciate long comments like this, thank you for being so nice! :)

[house of cards]

Very mellow :)
I like it instantly from how it starts off, it just feels floaty and like you're in the clouds. It also just feels very happy and dreamy, and definitely relaxing. I love the bells you used, the round synth leads, and the percussion beat fits perfectly. Amazing work once again, keep it up :D

GuitARBEn responds:

Thank you so much!

[Paradox]

Perfect from start to finish :)
I love how it starts with an epic chorus, and then just jumps into all the hype energetic stuff. It's so dancey, and definitely sounds like classic house. The instruments you used are awesome as always, and they all just compliment each other and amp up the song even more. Also that switch to triplets around 1:30 is really cool! I'm surprised how smooth you made the transition from triplets back to normal time too, that's super awesome. Keep making amazing songs as always!!

[From you]

This song is very calming and also has very deep tones at the same time. Kind of feels like you are in the depths of something... like space, deep underwater, a cave, etc.. I love how the bassy, low sounds resonate and create this beautiful vibration, while the more lighter instruments accompany them. The melody that appears is just so nice and can easily lull someone to sleep. The beginning of the song also has a very nice slow introduction, just like the ending has a nice slow descent back to silence. Absolutely beautiful work here, keep it up!!

Spxro responds:

Thanks alot ! Feedback really helps me and ill keep it up !

[Commerce Among the Clouds]

Another nice and chill song, also got me spacing out for a bit :)
I once again love the guitar articulation in this, it helps with the relaxing feeling of the song. The space of the song is really nice too, feels roomy. The slow percussion helps with the calming feelings as well. The melody was really pretty, and I love the pads that layer over it. Amazing work again, keep it coming!!

Pondererer responds:

Yo thanks boss. If I’m on schedule, another should should come ‘round tmr

[cats on pogo sticks]

Damn from the title I thought this would just be some small silly song, but this is actually so groovy and amazing! It definitely sounds like samba, but in some cool unique style completely on it's own. It even reminds me a little bit of those cd's you can get in animal crossing for some reason lol. I love all the instruments you chose so much, and just in general the groove you set in place. It makes me feel dancy but also relaxed at the same time. But mostly it just makes me feel very happy! Everything about this song is super, I love this a bunch, keep up the amazing work!!

LordAndiso responds:

Thank you so much! I tried making a silly little song.. Honestly finding the instruments in this style a bit harder than i thought.. every instrument today is so polished and high quality sounding, i tried to find like those really badly sampled instruments and it just set a whole new style.. thank you so much for your time listening and giving your thoughts :]]

[Battle Music #13 - Full Strength Unleashed]

As soon as that first riff hit I knew this would be an awesome song, I love this! All the arps, the screechy leads, and fast percussion make the energy in this song go through the roof. The instruments work perfectly together and even amplify each other kinda to make this feel like real battle music. It feels like a song that could easily play during a boss fight going through some high speed tunnel or something. I also adore the variety through the whole song and just the progression in general. Amazing and beautiful work, keep it coming!!

Eclipzodiac responds:

Hey, thank you for taking your time to share your thoughts. That read felt awesome. I'll definitely keep the music coming, and I appreciate your support!

[Bear's Bones]

Very spacious and relaxing track, I like it! It sounds cyclic and familiar, making it more calm as you listen on. The base melody is also a really simple but nice one, and fits perfectly with the instruments you chose. The introduction of the piano around 2:05 was also very sweet! And the later addition of a different guitar melody was a very nice ending to the song. Great work, keep it coming!

MiuSchardo responds:

Thank you! It's titled Bear's Bones (barebones) because it ended up really simple :D. I used it here: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/908535

Very nice and calm :)
I absolutely love the guitar articulation on this song, and the mixing too. The drums sound nice and crisp while the guitar is heard perfectly. Just kind of sounds like a perfect song to play on a beach side restaurant during the day, or maybe during a sunny day in fall. It's also really spacey so it feels really relaxing to listen to. Amazing stuff, keep it up!

yagru responds:

thanks so much! really appreciate the comments on the mixing too, tried a few new things with this one so it sounds like it paid off :D
