[Inner Strength]

Awesome energy, i love the industrial feel to it

[Liberation]

Nice work, i really like the arrangement. I like the sound of a lot of the sample such as the choir and horns thought it looks like they don't offer the Stay at Home collection anymore which is kind of sad i would of liked to have that too.

zybor responds:

Aww. I'll remove the link. Thanks for the head up.

Thank you for your review!

[Derain (Mercurias)]

I like the Sci-fi feel of it its a massive song with a lot of cool and different parts to it. I like the main melody brightens up after kind of a more tense beginning. The aesthetics and textures of the sounds you choice are pretty cool too, like i imagine a game of ping pong being played in space at the beginning lol

DeltaRhoGamma responds:

Thank you for your input! BTW the whole ping pong thing at the beginning was unintentional and gf pointed it out and i thought to myself *meh* ill keep it LOL

[Vague 2.0]

Nice track! I like the flow, the song just kind of washes over you. It kind of has an aimless quality that doesn't have a particular direction and takes its time, which is kind of nice to just kick back and chill with. I like the sound of the bass with the slappy slaps and panned background synths that dance around. It was a good listen

Syntrus responds:

thanks for stopping by!

[hallowed silence]

This song is absolutely stunning. You're able to build a tenderness that is soft yet incredibly powerful. The vocal performances are hauntingly beautiful and the whole song feels like a spiritual service taking place during the apocalypse. I really love the tension that builds and releases, starting from a nice piano melody until eventually it all crescendos together with organs and what sounds like a choir of angels in a desperate plea for help to heal the world. To put it simply, this was great and i am incredibly jealous of your talent :P

My only minor nitpick would be from about 4:00 - 5:30 the mix sounds a little "crunchy" in parts with a bit of distortion like the levels are clipping a bit. Just a nitpick though, i think the overall mix is great. especially the vocals and background vocals sit nice with together. With that being said i think you did great work on this one, keep it up!

[A Black Heart's Desire Revealed]

Sounds cool! I like the intense scale of it, sounds very apocalyptic. Nice work!

ToraXD001 responds:

Thanks! XD

[Far Away]

I really like the ragtime "swing" feel of it makes the song gave a nice groove. Everything sounds really nice together, this is a great song. Nice work!

NOmki responds:

Thanks :D

[Adrift]

Really great tone and texture on this! Sounds really nice, its very atmospheric and i can see it being used to set a specific mood, kind of mysterious and alone almost. Nice work!

Hikari responds:

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

[Lovebug Future (2020)]

This slaps, honestly really well done. I'm digging this a lot!

[Galactic Jam]

Not bad the beginning groove starts off pretty cool but it all starts to feel kind of repetitive and stale as it goes along. You could try mixing some of the elements down so they're not all playing at the same volume as well and add in a new melody line to keep things fresh. Other than that i dig the sounds you did choose and the overall melody is pretty cool. Nice work!

Flufflet responds:

I agree its really repetitive. I got a bit stuck on the mixing at the end, and released it as is at the end as i wasn't really sure how to improve it.
