[Pixel☆Skydive]

Awesome retro trance vibes! The bit crushed intro was already pretty cool, and the melody that came after was very reminiscent of 2000s trance. Definitely also gives off that skydive feel, a very happy one and generally uplifting. Keep up the great work!

Okinasai responds:

Thank u! I initially made the song with 200bpm but I realized it also good at trance bpms, so I changed it to 139; thx for listening btw.

Как обычно, красиво :)
Немного меланхоличное, и загадочные. Инструменты вливаются в друг друга очень нежно, и результат классный. Так держать, буду ждать следующий трек!

Sounds like something that would fit in a mysterious and potentially spooky sequence in a Kirby game, I like it! The progression and chords were really cool, haven't heard that progression in general for a good while. Also would just like to point out that the end of the song on the visual player looks like a bee stinger fittingly lol. Anyways great stuff, keep it coming :)

The melody and instrumentation sound amazing on this track! The vocals also fit very well and are mixed great too. I love the piano and strings you use on this. I have no idea what this song is about but it makes me feel happy and excited, sounds like something that would play during sunset. The drop towards 1:54 is also amazing! Awesome stuff, keep it up as always :)

RyuiY responds:

Thanks for amazing review! :D

[Rusty Bench]

This was so amazingly beautiful! First off I need to point out that the progression was perfect, it just kept changing and evolving as time comes back, and even has a callback to the beginning as the song is slowing down and ending. There's a lot of emotions, very heart tuggy ones too. Kind of this lonely atmosphere of a bench or something that's seen the test of time and been through a lot. The dynamics of all the instruments were utilized so well, they would become louder and quieter all at the right times. The playing of all instruments is also all so natural as well. Honestly this song is amazing and I can just keep saying more if I wanted to but for now I'll say awesome work, keep it coming!!!

Thank you ^ ^

[Hangin' With Aliens]

For some reason this reminds me of Sonic music from the early-mid 2000s, I really like it! The instrument choice is awesome, because not only does everything work together very well but you also used a really cool variety of stuff including a mix of older and modern electronic instruments. Definitely also has an alien vibe with all the dubstep-y parts to the song. It sounds foreign yet so awesome. Keep up the great work!!

[Rebirth]

This sounds very sweet and uplifting, I like it! You also have some fun drum drops when leading to more intense parts. The song has a lot of energy while managing to be calm and happy at the same time which is really nice, and the instruments you chose work very well together. The mixing/mastering is pretty well done too! Great work, keep it up :D

AceTAD responds:

thanks sir

[Amber Radiation]

Reminds me of early 2000s trance, sounds awesome! I love the longer intro, and how it just all kicks in around 0:54. The instruments you chose not only fit that early 2000s trance feel but also just sound great in general, and work together well too. At 1:25 I love the lead that kicks in as well, sounds kind of like a SID instrument and I'm very fond of those. Great work, keep it up!

hjhkbn responds:

Even if I don't make music often, I want to make some unique sounds, thanks for the comment! I always appreciate the constructive ones

[FiveCast]

This sounds so suave, I love it! The instruments are so smooth and kind of instill this relaxing feeling, while the song also at times develops into this late night beach city vibe. The flute has to be my favorite instrument in this as it just has this beautiful melody backed by all these other instruments that work together so well. I think the progression is great through the whole song, and the later part that gets a more intense drum beat is just super nice. Awesome stuff, keep it coming!!

Tysm for the positive feedback man! I usually make more upbeat edm so this was kind of uncharted territory for me. Super glad you enjoyed it, I’m definitely going to experiment more with this genre in the future!
