[The Rain Won't Stop the Beat (Japan Disco-Funk Mix)]

Decibal ceiling is a bit maxed out too much. But otherwise this is friggin' fire boss lady. 2:16 the sax has that PS1 Reverb space. But fuck it, I dig it!! Cuz I like using PS1-esque samples for a lot of my remixes too. Especially love the rhythmic flares you got going on. 3:05 is a cool breakdown. When in 3:18 that bass comes in I get some serious Symphony of the Night vibes. So bad ass! Yaaoooooooooo~ Love the rest too!

[The Human Condition, Parts I-IV]

Pretty damn good. Love how this evolves. The Lead E-Guitar was a bit thin, but the rhythm guitar kicks ass and the other instruments are done pretty well imo. Love the grunge and dark atmosphere of this piece. Good work VDQ :3

[Every Yesterday Past (Echo Mix)]

Pretty friggin' solid. The Sax section at 2:55 was especially fire. That dubstep beat is sick. Kinda like that there is no Wub-Wubs and it's more about the beat and rhythms. Got some phat bass despite that. Nice play on the genre as a whole. Sounds like you're improving. The clicky thingy at start and ending was a bit eh. But small gripe and not worth detracting a point for imo. Good work!

[The Crawling King]

Wow, Cinesamples sound great. Good sequencing! Love that piano arp riff at 0:28 haha. 1:20 is a kick ass breakdown and 2:08 is a sick transition back into the main body! Lots of great variety and hellfire-level dynamics, excellent instrumentation...and I love the tension and evolving direction! Nice work :D

Thanks for the review! :)

[RPG Town Theme]

Nice tune! Nice use of reverb space and the flutes are nice! Nice rhythm on the shaker thingy too :D

[Inti Huasi]

Grats on the FP! Lovely articulations and great dynamics here. The choral ending is so...Studio Gimli and then that SAX outtro is even more sexy. Beautiful!! UwU

[friday funkin type beat]

That is some dope auto-tuning and pitchwork. Lyrics are crafted really well too! Nice work :D

[Monuments to the Sun God | 2021]

Loved it! Having recently played Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, I got those vibes big time lol.

[Melancholy Hill - Caravan Of Dreams (Remastered/Extended)]

Seems fairly clean E/Q wise. 2:22 onward was more of my cup of tea. Loved the experimental feel to it. Reminds me of Opeth and Diablo 2/Torchlight quite a bit. Lovely work with the acoustic guitar! Love the looming threat of the heavy guitar coming in at 4:30, could make a nice loop point, in theory. Nice work!

[GOREGUSHER]

Pretty good d00d.
