What a wild ride this is, it’s all the genres in one track it seems. We’ve got folk, cumbia, metal, you name it. Reminds me of my homie TheManPF and his versatility. However, I thinks tracks kinda overstays it’s welcome and at times feels more like an experiment than cohesive concept. Transitions are just ok, and perhaps I lack context from the source to fully get where this is coming from, but I can tell this could be hard pill to swallow for some folks. Don’t get me wrong, I loved how it incorporates so many styles and sounds. But I think the most solid segment is the proggy and metal one we get at the end.

Another doozy. This starts off really strong, the percussion in particular has me sold, lots of cool pirate vibes. The percussion!! Hell yes!! Winds are fantastic too. The rising choir patch throws me off a little, mostly because of how it keeps going from quiet to loud too quickly. My god the assortment of instruments in this, how many people do you have here? The percussion keeps being my spirit animal. Awesome groove at 2:25. Was NOT expecting the change at 2:35. There’s so many cool ideas happening in this one, and it’s a quite long song, it could be EVEN LONGER with how much you have cooking, it almost feels like you had a ton of sources to work with but you didn’t give enough time to each. Each individual part of this sounds fantastic, but the transitions are abrupt and gives it a jarring feeling every time the style changes. If you gave each section a little more developing time and took the time to make the transitions more seamless, this would be a timeless classic for me.

Very nice light and airy opening, very orchestral overture-y like. Then like the the shift to the irishy style jig – flute is very well balanced. Drums and backing could come up a touch, but not too much. Like all the different aux percussion here. Mood shift/transition is a bit too sudden, would have liked more of a lead in here. In this section drum cymbals can probably come down a touch, but otherwise balance with the solo instruments and the backing is good. Really loving the choice of a marimba as a backing instrument near the end of this second section. Guitar feels a bit overpowering as it does the shrieks but then it balances back fine. Guitar solo tone is great in the third section, but would like a little more bass as its going. Though this balances up a little later – the back half of this third section is impeccably balanced. Like before, transition into the last section feels very sudden, but the techniques by everyone here is great. While I nitpicked this one a bit, its because its a great arrangement and was wonderfully well performed, just a few tweaks here would really help this one excel
