Fantastic job!

[C'mon, Girl]

I actually really like the arrangement, and all the creative ideas, along with the progression. I think what would've improved the piece for me, is a more moderate use of compression, and a less "in your face" mix. That's rare for a track from you too! Possibly because you're not used to mixing such a high-information (including vocals) track. It sounds like there's a loss of dynamics, which likely causes that "weak transitions" thing the others mentioned. Since arrangement-wise, I can hear them make sense.

As for the melodies, the lyrics, the glitching, etc. I think it's an idea-rich piece. With some more space and noticable dynamics, I think you could perfect the piece. Those are my two cents! Good luck in the FINALE!

[Flow]

Great use of rhythm and underlying harmonies here, with the choir and the strings. The melody is very prominent in the mix, and the progression is exciting. I love it! Thank you for sharing :D

zybor responds:

Thank you for the review dude! And thanks for listening!

[Wilderness]

This is beautiful! A very dynamic and emotional piece, with great instrumentation and an apt progression. Good luck with the album!! :D

AceMantra responds:

Thanks so much! :3
I almost didn't upload it because I was so critical of it. I just hope I can get the album done on time.

Best of luck, man! Or maybe luck is something you won't need, hehhe ;)
We shall see!
Either way, great job on the killer track :D

FinnMK responds:

Yeah, it seemed like a fitting line to have in there. Thanks a bunch!

[Make a Wish (KindLing A1S1)]

Well this was a fun listen!
You're so good at layering different elements in a way that makes them all work together. Even better, I love how there's kind of this back and forth between them, making for effective dynamics. Even better yet, it's at a compositional/arrangement level as well, with all the keychanges and the progression. Thanks for sharing ^___^

P.S. Gotta love them stories too!

Miyolophone responds:

Thanks a lot LSD! Layering was a key part of my strategy here— there are a lot of compositional and textural fun tidbits that aren't distinguishable when everything's going at once, but when you put them all together it works a lot better. Glad you enjoyed! :D

[Google Murray Bookchin]

Oh wow, your electronic melodies are super rad!
I'm sorry I don't have time to write a longer review now, but I think you should know that this is a super solid track. Fantastic job!

zybor responds:

Thank you for your review dude! :) School is more important!

[Crypto War]

Oh my, that melody that comes in just around the first minute is so cool :O
As well as the one after it. You used very refreshing sounds for them!
The choirs near the end are great too! One of them a bit compressed/distorted, but that's probably intentional, and actually sounds really cool :DDD

Fantastic job! I love how you keep evolving your style. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your review :)
