[Piché - bite-size snacks (Full Tape)]

Man this is dope. :) Y'all seem to have that productivity I seem to be lacking.

Keeps the vibe well between tracks too. Wholesome work.

[...As They All Fall]

Really like this one! And I'm getting some serious Staind vibes with it too. From back in the early twothousands when music was most pure and all...

Emotion really hit different in this one. Nicely done.

[Hurts Me Every Time]

Reminds me of something hmm, wonder what, Sum 41, Avril Lavigne, some other artist that doesn't come to mind as possibly sounding a little like this... some really familiar melody here but can't quite place it... anyway this was great, shaky voice or no, seems like a common initial move to add in a little extra vibrato too whether you need it or not. :)

My only woe with it is that it doesn't really seem to build... it goes on for so long yet in the end has been so consistent all the way. The lyrics are great, there's nothing bad about it musically, I just don't get as emotional as I feel I could've for some reason, thinking maybe that could be it...

Sounds heartfelt though! Nice work.

[RistikMusic - Galaxia]

Now this one reminds me of the NeverPutt intro menu. XD Always something similar huh.

I love the uplifting, dance-like vibe here, with an interesting contrast/complement with the sharper string-like layer you had in the other one... in the end though, when that layer fades away after the two minute mark it feels you suddenly relax a bit. Guess it maybe adds in a sense of tension that's maybe not ideal for a main menu theme with a possibly brighter mood meant for it?

Conclusively: interesting but maybe not ideal contrast atmosphere-wise. Otherwise really rich in sound; plenty of air and layers and feelgood vibe.

Bits of potential musical conflict critique aside these are really great.

[RistikMusic - Space Survival]

Feels maybe somewhat simpler/flatter/more predictable than the others this one somehow, but the bubbly bass effect is pretty cool... I like the build but also feels like it doesn't really get anywhere; wonder if it's necessary at all in the end... probably works great with a spacey level though.

-cd-

[RistikMusic - Orbit Fight]

Has a little air of mystery with this one too... felt like it reminded me of something, and I think it might be the soundtrack from some of the winter levels in Goldeneye. Old version. But the cutting/string-like bits are definitely unique to this.

Icy feels though! Really like the atmosphere here too.

-cd-

[RistikMusic - Last Battle]

Wonder if a little heavier tones somehow would've enhanced this even more, but can definitely see it working for battle. Good one too.

-cd-

[RistikMusic - Flight to Safety]

Really like the vibe with this one, a little spooky,a little adventurous, a lot of extra hype when it kicks in for real too... and the sparkly sound design overall is just really pleasant to listen to. Imagine it'd work just as well as an intro as an outro too. Dope work.

-cd-

[- Horror Field -]

Spooky but ambient... not sure if it's horrifying or more so soothing, but it's an interesting mood/combination, I imagine it'd be way scarier in a game too, with visuals to match the waves...

-cd-

[Fresh (90s Ballad Mix)]

The 'aws' and the 'yeahs' with this one lmao. XD It does sound hella fresh though! Suitable for a lot of sensual scenes I'm sure, and/or entirely other ones...
