[Get Ready!]

Супер трек! Мне очень нравится интро, он захватывает, и когда главная мелодия вступает это вообще класс. Напоминает тему из старой игры которая называется Turrican. Супер работа, так держать!!

JustDen responds:

Благодарствую!

[rush!]

First of all go to sleep 40 hours is overkill lmao
Second of all this is awesome! It feels like another race-y track, with a cool dance feel to it. Maybe it can work very well for some kind of spacey race track in a game with how spaced out it sounds :)

I love the way the melody progresses, the instruments you used, and the energy in general. As always, keep it up!!

wineplume responds:

synth1 for a couple leads and no other plugins, thank you for the review lol
will definitely consider taking a nap after shower lmao

[Fantaisist Procession]

You know a cinematic song is good when it feels like it can tell a story, which yours definitely illustrates! The rises and depressions of intensity and energy, the mood changes, and use of instruments helps evoke emotions at different parts as well as create intrigue. I like how the song starts out easy, almost as if you are indoors before you go out to the amazing wilderness type of feeling. I think you have done an amazing job, keep it up!!

Fightotnt responds:

Thank you very much for the encouragement! This is exactly how I wanted it to make you feel, and I'm happy to see that it actually worked!

[Zone of Battle]

This is awesome! It sounds like 80s dance mixed with old video game music, I really like it :D

The progression is sick, I feel like as the song went on, the mood would change here and there while maintaining smooth transitions between each segment. Sometimes the energy would be happy, sometimes serious and easier, then serious and intense, etc.. I am in love with the instruments you chose as well, but they would be nothing if it weren't for your amazing use of them to make such a great sounding piece. Keep up the amazing work!!!

JustDen responds:

Thanks!! :)
That was the point to make 80s music with elements of retro(transformers the movie, old anime and etc) And i tried to mix moods of song!

[Quantum Nexus]

This sounds nice, kinda feels like 80s European dance mixed with a bit of Italo disco! The atmosphere is space-y and the feeling is happy, with the song constantly changing but staying on the same happy sounding major chord progression. I love the pads you used too, they really help create a fill in the background layer of the song while amplifying the spacey atmosphere. It also ended like a lot of old 80s songs with the fade out haha. Keep up the great work!

CosmoSynth responds:

Thank you for your comment and very positive feed back! I'm very happy you enjoyed :)

[hyperspace]

This has a spooky space energy, I like it :)
It would fit perfect in some escape space station sequence in an intense game moment. The detuned and pitch bending synths also really help establish a spooky atmosphere. Great stuff, keep it up!

zynth-music responds:

thanks! this was something microtonal and originally it was 12edo (normal sounding music) but I decided to give this a try :3 happy you like it

[let's dance]

The Microsoft voice caught me off guard but the part at 1:11 made me shit myself lmao

Honestly though this song is great haha, I can totally see this being made on fumes from sleeplessness because you get that weird hyper energy at that point. I like the dancey beat and just overall feel of the song. Keep it up as always :D

wineplume responds:

yeah the sample at around 1:11 is here because i intentionally wanted to scare some people LMAO, thanks for the review

[RennZ - Heart Tones]

Very cute little song! It's relaxing, and feels like watching the sun either rise or set. It has a lot of articulation and flair on the instruments too, I just wish it was longer because it sounds so cool haha. Great work, keep it up!

RennZGD responds:

ayy thx :'))

[Stellar Landing]

This definitely has city vibes, I love it! Some instruments for some reason reminded me a bit of Mario Galaxy music; maybe it was the strings you used, or some synth, but it made me feel very nostalgic and attached to the song pretty quickly haha. I like how the melody is always evolving, the fact that there's no repetition creates an image in my head as though I'm seeing different things as I walk through the space city. The intro is also great, because it feels more desolate/spacey as if I'm just about to land, so it matches the description you wrote very well. Just awesome stuff altogether, keep it up!!

Charlmot responds:

Thank you so much for the kind words! :D

[weightless]

This is very pretty :)
I love how a lot of instruments are either cut off or "muted", especially the piano. It gives the song a much lighter atmosphere and kinda makes you relax. Even though the main motif might have been repeated throughout the song, layering different varying percussive and occasionally melodic elements over it kept the track interesting throughout. Besides, I feel like in this case the repetition helps instill familiarity with the listener, further boosting the calmness feeling. Great work here, keep it coming!

dijek responds:

Thank you so much bro! That means a lot to me how thorough this review is. One of my goals is to have 100 songs by the end of the year, so you know I will ;)
