[Cloud Mind]

This song sounds so chilly.. but also dreamy! Definitely sounds like you're high up in the clouds, maybe in the mountains or something. I love all the instruments with the long release/reverb effects on them, it really helps instill this ethereal mood and make things more dreamy and relaxed. The ending is also really good, it's subtle and lets the listener off gently. Keep up the great work!

Thank you very much for such a positive review!

[FERNAN - BOOKEN]

Woah what an awesome intro! First off, I love the ambient bird/shore noises, they add a great extra layer of sound. But man I love the buildup so much, it's really cool and brings the energy to a climactic point where everything just comes together. The melody is also really interesting. I really love how it ends with the chip like instruments and the birds/shore again. Great stuff, keep it up :D

[DatCat - Vertigo]

Ooh that drop at 0:45 is sick! The energy in this track in general is very heavy and epic, and the mood is very inspiring and adventurous. I love the bass on this, and the lead instruments you chose were really nice too. The middle section around 2:50 is a nice break and slight switch before kicking back into the meat again, and helps with variation a lot. So while this track is lengthy, it doesn't really stagnate and sounds interesting from start to finish. Awesome stuff, keep it up!

[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!!

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 :]]
