[When we're Together (2021 Remaster)]

This perfectly encapsulates oldschool trance, I love it! It's extremely nostalgic, the instruments all fit together seamlessly, the transitions and arpeggios make me so happy. This is just awesome all around, keep it up!

SASKID responds:

My style back then was exactly that oldschool feel. I miss producing tracks like this. Just glad I still have files to revisit and reflect. Thanks for the review man!

[Get some rest]

This definitely sounds like something you can only come up with when actually sleepy lol, and you say you made it at 2 AM so it all comes together :)

For real though I love it, it sounds very relaxing and the melody is just beautiful. Keep it up as always!

ssymboint responds:

Thanks, will do :D

[Insomnia]

I did not expect the drop at 00:45 to sound as good as it did lol, that's super cool! The bass just pops, and the plucks help make the track feel very dancy. The slow introduction of different percussion really helps pace the track as well. Clicks and claps add even more to the popping feeling. Just overall very nice decisions here, keep up the nice work :)

Nicki1202 responds:

thank you sir. appreciate it

[Coolman - Furious Factory]

Oh wow I love what the song turns into at 00:30! And after that melody keeps taking interesting and diverse turns. Love the composition with this honestly, makes for great game soundtrack music. Keep up the awesome work :)

Pciphidic responds:

thanks! super glad you liked it!

[Space Lobby]

You should be proud :)
This song sounds very calm and definitely spacey, and it varies itself up enough to be not very repetitive. Interesting wind down record like ending too, really helps add authenticity to the lofi genre goal. Keep up the nice work!

BlueTuxedo responds:

Oh wow! Nice to see a rating on my song after such a long time. Thanks for a criticism.

[Mwhaha]

Ooh this sounds cool! And the pattern on the piano is very versatile/non repetitive which helps the song progress. Addition of strings along with the piano was also a great idea. Keep up the awesome work, cant wait to hear the finished product!

ssymboint responds:

Thanks, my guy. It is going along well. :D

[Forgotten]

Very cool use of effects to add variation to the song! It's definitely very moody and interesting so I like what came out of it. The drum patterns and scratches really added to the whole feeling as well. Nicely done, keep it coming :)

Casper responds:

Thanks;)

[Snow Storm]

Very interesting instruments and melodic sequences, a very good balance between the melody and dubstep parts as well in my opinion. Definitely sounds kinda chilly and winter-y too! And this may just be me but the instruments sound a little retro sometimes which is pretty cool. Keep up the great work :)

DJLimeMusic responds:

Thank you for that amazing response! :D

[-Aeropolis-]

This sounds awesome! Very sonic genesis era like. Cool progression, cool 90's effects, and a whole new feel. This could so be in a game. Keep up the awesome work!

Preds responds:

Thank you! Will do! ^-^

[The Forgotten Star]

This is some great techno! I love the gates you use here and there, it's pretty cool. The synths are very suitable for techno too. Keep up the great work :)

TekNoTaku responds:

Thank's for the support. And for listening to my music...I am really grateful.
