[Rusty Bench]

This was so amazingly beautiful! First off I need to point out that the progression was perfect, it just kept changing and evolving as time comes back, and even has a callback to the beginning as the song is slowing down and ending. There's a lot of emotions, very heart tuggy ones too. Kind of this lonely atmosphere of a bench or something that's seen the test of time and been through a lot. The dynamics of all the instruments were utilized so well, they would become louder and quieter all at the right times. The playing of all instruments is also all so natural as well. Honestly this song is amazing and I can just keep saying more if I wanted to but for now I'll say awesome work, keep it coming!!!

Thank you ^ ^

[Celestial Spelunking]

What a nice journey of a song! The progression just kinda carried me through a very fun and exciting time from beginning to end. I love the housey vibes while still being a creative dance song at the same time. There's parts that blend in really interesting ways, such as when the parts with the harsh drum samples come in and somehow just fit great with the rest of the song. So even though your instrument choice and style is so different, it works so well all together! Definitely also has a bit of a spacey vibe. Amazing work, keep it coming!!

[Ji4h3 - Cotton Candy(Original Mix)[Free Download]]

I really like how this progressed from beginning to end! In the beginning it sounded very nostalgic because for some reason it reminded me of the dance style ringtones had in the early 2000s. Then it just turns into a generally very nice dance song with very good progression and a beautiful happy melody. This song just made me feel good and that's nice. Keep up the awesome work!!

[Hangin' With Aliens]

For some reason this reminds me of Sonic music from the early-mid 2000s, I really like it! The instrument choice is awesome, because not only does everything work together very well but you also used a really cool variety of stuff including a mix of older and modern electronic instruments. Definitely also has an alien vibe with all the dubstep-y parts to the song. It sounds foreign yet so awesome. Keep up the great work!!

[the way we talk]

I love the melodic parts of this song so much! It's very chirpy and glittery with great harmony and a very nice chord progression. Kind of gives me night time beach vibes too. I love how some notes decay with a pitch shift downwards too, that's a cool touch. Great stuff, keep it coming!

[Rebirth]

This sounds very sweet and uplifting, I like it! You also have some fun drum drops when leading to more intense parts. The song has a lot of energy while managing to be calm and happy at the same time which is really nice, and the instruments you chose work very well together. The mixing/mastering is pretty well done too! Great work, keep it up :D

Another Zabujard banger

[journey through outer space and time]

What a nice little loop! It sounds happy and sweet, but also mysterious and adventurous. I love the pads and instruments you used, they are really subtle and really give this song a space like atmosphere. The percussion you chose for this was perfect too. Keep up the great work!

[Arctic Blitz]

Everything is going all over the place here, I love it! The instruments are chaotic but are very harmonious together, and the bass/drums are intense and just awesome altogether. The atmosphere you create is also very powerful and crazy. Awesome stuff, keep it coming :D

[Amber Radiation]

Reminds me of early 2000s trance, sounds awesome! I love the longer intro, and how it just all kicks in around 0:54. The instruments you chose not only fit that early 2000s trance feel but also just sound great in general, and work together well too. At 1:25 I love the lead that kicks in as well, sounds kind of like a SID instrument and I'm very fond of those. Great work, keep it up!
