[Frosty Wilderness]

I never played mega man zero 3 before, but your remix of that song is amazing! It's a great mix of atmospheric, as well as having a great kick of energy in there. Just feels like a bundle of lighthearted fun, especially when the guitars kick in around 1:20. The panning of different instruments and effects was like candy for my ears. Overall amazing remix, keep it up!!

timaeus222 responds:

Thank you! This is a rare instance where I've actually played the game before as well as remixed it. Normally I look for music in games I maybe haven't played!

[dental floss]

This would be awesome in some kind of crazy late night club action scene in a game; the energy gets so chaotic I think it would fit perfectly. Great job with the further experimentation, keep it up!

wineplume responds:

thank you, as always. i like making stuff that sounds like something so unbearably chaotic that it tickles your brain and messes with your eardrums.

[Generate]

This definitely sounds really fun! In classic longer house style, there are repetitive parts, but not in a bad way at all, as you build on them a lot and make the progression fun and bouncy. The atmosphere of the song is very magical, fsr it makes me think of a glowy mushroom forest at night. It also has a really nostalgic feel, but I'm not sure why haha. Either way it's amazing, keep up the great work!!

Neojock responds:

Thank you! Yeah I really wanted to nail that mystical vibe with this one. Thanks again for listening!

[Macrolisk]

This sounds so hard, I love it :O
Almost instantly the song gets into the thick, heavy and grungy metal that goes all over the place. As it progresses it keeps evolving with the melody, and even stuff like percussion. This would fit perfectly for some kind of super mechanical boss fight or a battle against some demon in a game. Amazing work, keep it up!!

Burn7 responds:

Thanks dude, I'm glad you liked it! Appreciate the listen and the review!

[Epiphany]

This song is so dramatic and energetic, I love it! I think you really got the "epiphany" feeling done well here, as it begins with this slow and curious intro that progresses in to this spaced out and dramatic portion, so the name is very fitting. The instrumentation is amazing, everything feels like it comes in just at the right time. The mixing is also great, and the variation is so perfect as the song doesn't get boring at any point. Amazing work here, keep it up!!

TheRealMannyHeffley responds:

I appreciate the response, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm just getting back into the workflow of making dnb so there will be plenty more songs coming out soon :)

[instant noodles]

This is so weird, in such a cool way! It has a grimy and energetic vibe, but what I think is the most interesting is how you managed to make the pots banging sound so melodic. The middle melody is also very pretty and glittery. Awesome job, this experiment sounds very good!!

wineplume responds:

tysm!!!!!!

[Airwaves]

О, как интересно. Я не думаю что я раньше слышал такой стиль/жанр от тебя. Получилось так классно! Трек расслабляющий, и при этом эмоциональны и энергичны. Так держать как обычно :D

G2961 responds:

сПАСИИИБО! :D

[bone apple teeth]

Almost instantly this song has a very techno/dancy beat with a low growl, really cool! I like the incremental layering of more instruments and the changes in the melody. The whole track also has this kinda dark feeling but adventurous at the same time. The break at 1:30 is also really interesting. Great work as always, keep it up :D

wineplume responds:

thx, the breaks at 1:30 are controlled by some kind of... chorus? or phaser? (i think?), but you can barely hear it (the effect) lmao

[Learning From The Spirit Fox - leveled]

Very interesting atmosphere, I like it! Would fit in a game very well. It feels arctic, snowy kinda, and cold but also beautiful at the same time. Kind of makes me think of looking at aurora borealis on top of an icy landscape. I really like the textures you use, the progression, and the percussion fits super nicely too. Great stuff as always, keep it up!

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it. ^_^

[No More No Less]

Very interesting modern melody that sounds like it was constructed with older keygen instruments, I love it! You always manage to create a unique atmosphere with every one of your songs, and so many of them have fun and varied up melodies. Great stuff as always, keep it up :D

BusanBlack responds:

Thank you. Yeah I work with what I got. Its an older program that has minimal instrumentation but I like to see what I can make from it. A challenge so to speak.
