[lighthouse]

Very beautiful :)
The synths you use have a really beautiful texture to them, and they almost feel like they are singing. I instantly also thought of Minecraft music when hearing this, but very original at the same time, which is really cool haha. I love the progression and key changes over the song, and the "drop" (dunno what else to call it haha) around 1:18, it feels cathartic somehow even in such a relaxing song. I think this is great, keep it up!!

ssymboint responds:

I've had this chord progression and melodies on the backburner for abt 2 years now. I'm glad I could finally do them justice. I dig these synths too so expect more of them like a recurring character hehe. It means the most, thank you!

[Glowsticks (Remix)]

Вы оба издали еще один очередной шедевр, звучит супер! Мне сильно напоминает техно/транс 2010их годов. Атмосфера и энергия тоже очень крутая. Так держать!

G2961 responds:

Спасибо большое, но это ремикс на трек Х-500, который я сделал) Он здесь как автор оригинала.
Но всё же спасибо за ещё один комментарий, ты здесь, порой, появляешься раз в месяц, но твои комментарии очень радуют!

[4KKoRD - "Gloomy Light"]

This song sounds awesome! The whole track felt like a journey as it kept going to something new every time and felt like it almost never repeated. The atmosphere changed so much throughout, from melancholy to emotional, to dramatic, to daring, etc.. I love all the chaos going on with the adventurous kick towards the halfway point of the song. Keep up the great work!!

4KKoRD responds:

Tysm for such a detailed review! I'm really glad that you liked this track!

[Another Morning]

Sometimes songs like this with a slow start don't really go anywhere, but this one really wasn't the case! The track has a beautiful way of introducing more instruments as time goes on, and the beauty really emerges more and more the further into the song you get. The song really feels like a morning song, kind of like a sun rise over a flowering field, or at least that's what I imagine haha. I zoned out while listening to this a few times because the whole track just felt like a warm hug. This is very beautiful, keep it up!

dim7ay responds:

Thank you so much, you cannot imagine how much this means to me.

[surreality]

Man when that guitar kicks in shortly after 1:20 it completely entranced me, it is so beautiful! I was already hooked from the slow and relaxing start, but the more the song built on itself the more beautiful it became. The mixing on this really helps deliver the atmosphere even more, as it makes the instruments really stand out on their own while not being intrusive and sounding like they all work together. Amazing stuff, keep it up as always!!

crispybatteryacid responds:

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed!

[Definition of Insanity]

Супер! У тебя очень хорошо получилось сделать грозною атмосферу, и каждый дроп сделал с хорошим ударом. Создать ремикс дабстеп трека звучит совсем не просто, так как дабстеп музыка обычно учен хаотическая, но мне кажется что у тебя отлично получилось! Так держать как обычно :D

edit* Извини Руно, я забыл добавить в обзор, оркестровка вообще класс!

G2961 responds:

Спасибо! Да, возможно, что это мой самый лучший Дабстеп дроп, который я когда-либо делал.
Кстати, ты немного забыл про Руно, который написал оркестровку)

[Dem0n1x - I feel, I love...]

Happy birthday! I hope you have a good one :D
I also love this trance, it sounds like 2000s and has a fun progression. I feel it has more melodic variety than the usual trance that takes a while to start up (on average), and I def enjoy it for that. The instruments/synths you chose were also really fun, and I love the pitch shift at 2:35-ish. Keep up the awesome work, I hope to see you make more bangers in the next year!

Dem0n1x responds:

Thanks buddy, wish also all the best and happy upcoming Christmas!

[Stargazing]

Sounds like mid-2000s handsup/techno, like stuff you would hear on someones YouTube tutorials back then haha. I love it! The melody is sweet and pretty, the instruments are great and so is their mixing (I like how the soft piano is still prominent throughout a lot of the song). The progression is great too, and varies up not to get too repetitive and stay interesting. Great work, keep it up!

DJSuperSaw responds:

thank you for your positive feedback!

[Rituals]

This sounds dark, mysterious, and yet fun, which provides an interesting contrast and fits your description pretty well! I like how you get creative and don't really repeat much, but constantly build with variation instead. The instruments you used were interesting, and the articulation/dynamics were good too. Great work, keep it up!

Jotrocken responds:

That was part of the theme. If someone expected full on tribal I am sorry because I am not your every day music producer.´Thank you for your kind comment!

[ocean of acid]

This is a little melancholic, which fits the description, but also is very pretty and calming. Kind of an interesting clash, because on one end you have the kind of depressing sci-fi undertones in the description that are reflected in the music, but you also have that sound of beauty that would represent an ocean and happier atmosphere, and it creates a very unique feeling in return. Something like this would be perfect for a soundtrack in some kind of planet exploring game where you could come across an acid ocean biome or something haha. Amazing work as always, keep it up!!

crispybatteryacid responds:

Glad that what I was trying to portray in the track got across to you. Thanks for the review!
