    There’s a lot of groove but ambience also in this one. I’m not sure what I think about the amen break sample – I think it didn’t really suit it in this context, but the ambient sound effects and the variety of sounds here are a real mood. The overall lo-fi sound gives this one a kind of crazy and mysterious quality.

    Love me some Risk of Rain. Some cool spacey synths going on. The first minute felt like it was building up to something but it kinda throws that away after that? There’s barely a transition to speak of. The amenbreak sounds awesome and I never get tired of it, but it sounds clashing to everything else happening, it’s the only thing in the song that’s going fast and dynamic while everything else is staying in the same ambient-y place, which is a contrast that makes it hard to groove to OR relax to. The arrangement keeps going for ambient but the amenbreak makes it harder to appreciate the subtleties. I think I’m not quite getting the intention of the arrangement, or maybe it’s just missing something.

    Some ethereal synths to kick this one off, before we build into the rocking theme. Drums feel a little overpowering, and a touch dead maybe on the snare. Voices and bass feel a bit buried behind the drum, the synth is able to pop out as it comes in and out. Overall there was a lot of ambience and groove in this one, but without a melody to really latch to I wasn’t as drawn in to this one – but still good production anon!

    Iiiinteresting, I should’ve guessed this would be a jungle track! This sounds like something off a PS1 game, haha, I’m here for it!

    One comment: It may be intentional, but imo the mix is muddy. I would like to hear some of the mids and low mids cleaned up to really make this vibe.

    Love the mysterious vibes and the way the synth pad sustains over the whole thing when the drums arrive. Those delayed guitar arpeggios are a cherry on top, especially when they come back at the very end.

    The synth lead at 2:10 creates some slightly annoying midrange build-up, the mix could use some cleaning up there.

    I like this a lot! really fun arrangement and the leads are played really well.

    I do have to say about the drum loop — the right ear has a cymbal that sounds like it’s not liking whatever eq or saturation you have and it’s really crunching and distracting me from the rest of the song. I’m honestly not sure why that is bothering me today – and I didn’t notice during the LP but I am now.

    This one has a nice vibe to it. Kind of a lo fi sound which I’m digging. Good layers, good sounds. Not a whole lot happens in the arrangement here though. Just kinda sets a vibe and keeps it that way all the way through. It’s a solid execution I think. Lo fi and chill music to study to kinda thing. I dig it.

    Another atmospheric track, begins with a ton of SFX until a (loud) bass kicks in around 0:30. Some bright synths join with some cool melodies. Lovely vibes here, although I wish the bass a bit easier on the ears. Amen break! This continues on the atmospheric vibes until a melody hits for a bit around 2:20.
    Overall, interesting track. It sounds great but it may be too atmospheric for a “competition” setting? It’d work perfectly as a backing song on a video game.
