["Trancefusion Dreams" :3]

Lol I love how you said you got motivated by frontpage, only to get frontpaged, that's awesome

This was another great song! Definitely felt like 2010s trance/techno. Your own unique style was shining through and the song sounded awesome from start to finish. Keep it coming :D

Thank you very much! Yes, I am very motivated by the fact that my pennies end up on Frontpage. For me, this is a reason to make songs, putting my soul into them.

[Horizon]

Было очень приятно послушать :)

Это звучит как что то я бы слушал по дороге назад домой в машине, и смотрел из окна на светлое небо. Инструменты красиво друг друга поддерживают, и мелодия тоже очень красивая. В общем, классный трек! Так держать :D

[Arcade Blaster]

This has an awesome house feel while managing to reference a lot of arcade motifs, love it! It has a great positive and happy feeling that makes you wanna dance haha. The progression was also really good, with repetition and variation in all the right places. The song is also very well mixed, especially with the bass popping and being crisp, while the lead instruments make themselves heard and take a lot of space. Beautiful work, keep it coming!!!

[Candrin's Theme - The Vagrant]

Definitely has that retro arcade machine feel, love it! Looking at the character you linked, the music sounds like it really fits him too. There's such a great energy to this track, it's dancy and actiony. The portamento you have sometimes also just tugs at the heart strings, it's so awesome. And it sounds like it would loop perfectly, too! Amazing and beautiful work, keep it coming!!!

[Untitled 3]

Melodicas are fun! I have a yamaha one that I like messing around with haha. Sounds like you know how to play :)

BigBlueBazooka responds:

Thanks. Mine is a hohner, I'm just messing around here too.

[Triangular Adventure]

Very melodic for dubstep, I like it :D

The whistle instrument for the lead makes this song sound carefree, which is pretty nice. All the instruments kind of fit together to make this unique vibe which I really liked. And the energy definitely got built up in a great way! The outro was also a very nice slow way to end the song. Great work, keep it up :)

30LevelUp responds:

Thanks for the feedback! :)

[Forest Lullaby]

Relaxing, warm, and fuzzy. Listening to this first thing after waking up really made me feel good :)
It sounds like something you could easily drift off to because of how calm it is with all the soft instruments, or something you can wake up to due to the bird chirps and happy mallet sounds. The song is short but the progression is very nice, carrying it through beautifully from start to finish. Just awesome work, keep it coming!

BlakCatMusic responds:

Hey thanks a ton really glad you enjoyed it :)

[Twilight]

This song is full of different style and mood swings, I love it! It started out pretty and happy, then went to kind of uncertain and mysterious for a bit, then back to happy and then just the chaos kicked in out of nowhere! You made great usage out of all the instruments and made them work very nicely together, and made a great progression altogether. I can definitely feel all the styles you mentioned in here as well, because there's definitely an epic orchestral element, metal guitary stuff, and dubstep as well. Great work here, keep it up!

[RyuiY - Dreamvision]

This is so dang awesome! The energy you build almost immediately hits and turns into this crazy and beautiful chaos. The piano was an awesome decision and the way it was played sounds great, and the synthy/electronic stuff really amplified the unique mood of the song. All the different phases are so varied and fit together so perfectly, while covering many different moods like passionate/emotional, to hectic, to hopeful, suspenseful, etc. And that pitch change towards the end was so cool! Awesome job once again, you make great music, keep it up!!

RyuiY responds:

Your review is so amazing. Thanks for listening :D
