[Whirligigs]

Hey, fellow FL Studio user :D
Nice use of in-house synths there! Whirligigs has a kinda Mario Paint / Paper Mario feel to it. Nice blend of jazz, breakbeat and a touch of chillstep.

[Dog House 2 | 2021]

Grats on the FP. What a way to end 2021. Too bad I wasn't there to observe it. This song is definitely going into my mix list. Love that jazzy jig chill-step vibe.

Bertn1991 responds:

Much appreciated! I'm a little surprised that this was front-paged, but I'm happy people enjoy~

[Impromptu No. 157 | 2022]

This is a beautiful window into your soul. Hope you're doing alright Bertn. Also, tad surprised this wasn't front-paged. But then again, neither was your latter ones. The FP-guy kinda left me in the dust too. T_T

Bertn1991 responds:

Aww, too kind. Thank you. I'm doing okay these days. 2022 has been pretty decent so far. I hope things have been not terrible for you as well. And yeah, I have no idea what goes into picking songs for the front page ^.^'

[The Illusion of Solitude | 2022]

The hidden sequel to Illusion of Gaia, before Terranigma. The evolution and magical soundscape are top notch.

[I Was a Teenage MIDI File | 2022]

Ah yes, I heard this bad boy on your YT. Just came in to slap a 5 on it. Friggin' baller tune.

Bertn1991 responds:

Muh man B)

[Vimori - New Edge (Most Addictive Release)]

Feels like a Boss Theme in some Cyberpunk game. Woah, that 1:34 section is BOSS. Nice mixup with the beat at 1:50. Feels like I'm floating. Then the transition to 2:15 is epic. Damn good overall.

[Vimori - Headache (Reinelex Music Release)]

Hoooooly shit. You really blew your load with this first one. It's my favorite of the bunch haha. There is just so much for the ears, with a TON of genre switch ups. And it didn't give me a "Headache". Nice mix up with the flow (and tempo/time-sig?). The automation FX blew me away too...kinda jealous, NGL, but fuck it, I can jam to this one for sure. Gave me the good shivers. Nice!

Also...hollup...no front-page?? That is odd. This stuff is better than a lot of other music I hear on this platform honestly.

[Vimori - Rebellious Mode (Reinelex Music Release)]

How is this shit not front-paged? T_T
Daaaaaamn son. 2:02 mixup is baller, and the vocals that accompany it are just sex in a can. Good work man. Got my head noddin' good. It has a really good flow too; excellent use of pitch bends as well.

[Vimori - Arsonist (Reinelex Music Release)]

Yeah, the mix ain't perfect, but it didn't bug me really. Gives it a 2005 meets modern vibe. The wub wub work is still killer and the vocal stuff is pretty interesting. Sexy E-guitars too. Nice!

[Vimori & R3mark - Suicide Doors (Reinelex Music Release)]

Woah, reminds me of Command & Conquer a bit. With some VGMix stuff. The gating on the intro wasn't quite my cup of tea, but it didn't last long. Gritty, corrupt, tainted, yet beautiful all the same, especially the break down at 1:35. Even better when it gets back into the meat of things. Nice work >:3

Vimori responds:

Thank you so much, my friend! Really happy when reading it <3
