[Cosmic Park]

Fantastic! Intro is perfect and just long enough. Excellent lead. A little glassy but still round and sweet. Great swaying beat. Gives it a very cool skip and trip feel. This song reminds me of my old neighborhood. ;.; Lots of feels. Love how that lead just crumbles and fades into the distance. So much lofi yes here! <:3

[DeDoX Twelve - Never Give Up #Starsofquinni]

Very emotional. Lovely strings. Are they a sample? I like the gradual tempo change. Nice plucky leads. Not a fan of the kick. It comes in very late, doesn't hang out very long and is a bit too hard hitting for ambient. Less compression and volume on it in general would lower it's perceived impact and blend it better with the rest of the tune, IMO.

[Dubstep Test]

It not bad at all but it's not ambient by any stretch. That hard bass and kick your face in snare goes contrary to ambient. It's kinda dub downtempo and it's pretty badass. Just, belongs in a different genre portal is all.

[The View From Mountains]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll over it. Love it. <:3 so much overtone goodness here. Cool beats loop. No complaints.

Cheers mate :)

[Into Helix's mind]

very cool intro. Pads are a bit bright and cutting for my taste. I like how rick the textures are. What gear are you using for the evolving pads? Tune is a little aimless but nice. I like it.

[Station]

like those retro feeling 90s chords. sounds like the bass kick is making just a little compression ducking, which I personally would have not done, at least not in the first bit. Once the tune gets going it feels more at home. wow this is really eclectic. Very 90s in a good way. Very creative. Doesn't come across as afraid of it's self. Has that interesting amalgam of genres like we used to enjoy in the 90s. Yeah I like this.

[Alphabet]

This is NOT dance genre lol. What it IS though is very chill and cool. kalimba is one of my faves, as is apparent from my works. A little odd the vocals coming in so late. Still very nice track. I like how watery this is. not dawning in beats, which is GOOD.

lol what happened at 3:12?! this tune was like, hey I'm a chill tune, well I'm bored with that, D&B TYME! Both parts are done well. They are both good but it makes for a rather disjointed tune. Like, I would liked a hard style D&B version of this AND an all ambient version as 2 separate tunes. Going from ambient to D&B like that isn't impossible but the progression would have to had been much more gradual than it was. No knocking though, this is a really creative tune. I like it.

[Lagoon (w/ Ilysian)]

that intro is sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. Metallic snare hit in the beat is a little harsh for my taste. not a fan of the vocals. Not because they aren't well done here, just because I'm burned out on that style. Nice breakdown. Neat use of reverb ducking. Mix is a bit bright but this is a pretty cool track. :3 I like it a lot actually. Well paced and orchestrated.

stratuskloud responds:

it's a rim snare

[astrophile]

Neat little tune. Simple but I like it.

Siege13 responds:

thank you! it was kinda what i was going for (:

[Over the Sea]

Very dreamy. Progression is a bit too slow imo. If you are going to have beats, 3 and a half minutes till they are introduced, is a bit much. I'm not against long pieces of music but from my experience, if you are going to use beats, it gives better coherence for the listen when all of the main rhythmic elements have been introduced in some way before the 2 minute mark.
