[Don't bike]

This is so relaxing and warm, but also kinda funky, I love it! The first thing I think of is staying warm at home while looking at rain on a dimly lit street at night, just this kind of combo of being cozy with a little bit of action going on. The pads were so nice and helped add to the fuzzy/warm feeling, and the percussion gave just the right about of energy to the track. The mallets also helped accent this song and give it more of a magical feel. Amazing work, keep it up!!

Feynmar responds:

Hey, thanks for your comment, really appreciate it! Yeah was going for that warm but slightly mysterious vibe. Hope to put out more things like this soon-ish. I have many tracks that just need a little bit of tweaking and then they're ready to release. I'm glad you appreciated the pads, not everyone notices those things!

[Untitled Ukelele]

I like the combo of the three instruments, and the progression especially towards the end. It's short sweet and simple. Great work once again, keep it coming :D

BigBlueBazooka responds:

Thanks!

["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

G2961 responds:

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.

[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 :)

[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

[When the Dragon Strikes]

I love the default windows MIDI soundfont lol. Something about it makes anything written in it sound so nostalgic, like it's from the early 2000s. The melody definitely sounds enticing, and like you said being chased by a huge dragon or other threatening enemy. I love the energy you maintain, especially with that one repeating melody with more stuff building off of it. Awesome work, keep it up!!

supermelon-creations responds:

thanks thanks!! thank you for the kind words and yeszz I was hoping to hit some kind of nostalgic spot with it
