[Spacey Minimoog FX]

This sounds great. Not sure what Minimoog means but seems suitable. Useful! Looking forward to more!

[Video Games: Fucking Video Games 2]

I do like a lot of video games! You know with a more well-timed cut this would pretty much have been a perfect loop too. Props. Video games.

[SC904 - Where The Space Is]

Straight back to the eighties! :D With a hint of spacey and strange to go with it... reminds me a bit of classics like 'You Take My Self Control' and... I can't remember any others but feels like that era. :) I love the style, and nostalgia, and spacey vibe of it all... hypnotic kind of synth too.

The kick around 1:35 stands out a bit strangely to me, but apart from that this is awesome. Feels like maybe it could've shifted a bit, changed pace or pattern or in some other way morphed a bit along the way - would've gone well with the space theme - in the end I feel like it's missing something. Maybe vocals...? Though maybe that'd break the theme too. Hmm. Would love to hear this in a soundtrack though either way. Imagine this in any kind of space/action/sci-fi thing. Great work.

SuperCat904 responds:

Thank you. In fact, I also think that something is missing. But I don't know what. My next work will be in the same cosmic style. But thanks for the advice! I will try to add a lot more to the next work!

[Light Trance]

Light and uplifting. So nice.

[Kingbastard [ boxclever ]]

Heard this via the Retro Collab, and what a perfect part it played there too. :) Apparently made for a game as well hmm, further research seems to be required... great work.

Seems all the more impressive that it's all from scratch too. In this sample-heavy age of the now.

Kingbastard responds:

Thank you for the comment. It wasn't made for a game, but was used by a game-maker here on NG as background music to their game of the same name, Boxclever.

Always been a "from scratch" kinda guy;) I never liked using samples of any sort. Sure, I've used the odd thing here and there over the years, but primarily my ethos is DYI.


Thanks again.

[(it's the) baja blast]

I thought MGK and Yungblud were the ones re-igniting the Punk scene this year! :D Little did I know we had this going on on home turf! I could get into this, really got that classic punk rock sound... and catchy, relatable, edgy and socially cynical and/or just-about-anything-cause-that's-pretty-punk-too lyricism? :P Hell yeah.

[Christmas special]

A different kind of Christmas. :D Love the vibe. Hypnotic beat. Good build and fade. Heavy bass but not too heavy - the balance feels just perfect. Title works well with it! Can definitely groove to this.

[I'm a Simp For You by The Simpletons]

If y'all really got serious with this I can imagine it actually going places! XD Got potential! Fun to listen to, but just imagine this with perfect harmonies and all, damn... but wait I guess that maybe wouldn't be all as Simpable...

-cd-

Fro responds:

I could see why to an untrained ear this doesn't sound like perfect harmonies. Luckily our screaming fans say otherwise.

[Reduction]

This turned out so good! :D Foreboding in an epic kind of way... a long build but never montone either, those orchestral elements are really all over the place, impressive attention to detail along the way. It's like you constantly expect something to jump up on you as you listen to this...

The way it speeds up and trickles away a bit at the end too... just perfect. Title too. ;)

ChordC responds:

Yeah, that's my thing, I don't like monotonous things, especially in music. I always make each segment different and interesting, just like in this piece, appreciate you coming here :)
