Forget everything around you. And dwell into the world of nothingness.
A relaxing song in which you can forget your past, and just be there.

I started making on this song when i heard a song named "Sleepless" by C418, (go google it if you're curious.) and I got very inspired.
I'm really, really happy for the results of this song. And i hope that you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
I have been thinking if it should be any longer, but I can't think of any way for it to continue being relaxing and nice without it being too sustained or boring or else.

I found out that the bass in the start makes a annoying noise sound (and doesn't make that sound when I listen to it outside of Newgrounds), the best way to fix it is properly to download it. It might get better listening to.

[Edit, 15th May 2011]: Did some mastering, Now it sounds more complete, agree? :)

Else i'll just say, enjoy. :)

Nice!

The epic melodies at 3:22 are really awesome. This is a very full and fantastic composition overall. Great work!

5/5

ThePal responds:

Thanks alot for checking out! It's really also one of my proudest works. :)

Turn the lights off, close yours eyes, and bam.

To be honest when I first saw the name I though "Oblivion. Like Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Epic epic music? I think so!" *click* But I found something totally different. I expected fight music, I expected to picture grand landscapes, or total destruction, depending on where you are in the game. But, clearly, I found something else entirely. When I close my eyes I don't see landscapes, I see blue. Blue of different hues, smooth and swaying, blending, changing, morphing. Then everything changed. A cool orange, then green, then grey. Nothing stood still, yet everything was calm. It was beautiful, interesting experience. Thank you!

ThePal responds:

Thanks alot for this review! It touched me inside. :)
I am quite aware that I'm attracting Elder Scrolls players, but when I was to find a name for the song, I simply did find Oblivion fitting perfectly.
I really like your vision of the song, I love hearing such stuff. =)
Now, many thanks for the nice compliments again!

Amazing atmosphere you got here

I would say just keep doing what you are doing :D
It is really good.
I would set the volume of the Basspad a but lower and when you add the high sparkly sounds turn that volume a bit up.
At 2:00 You introduce the bass synth but i think that you pull it out of the filter just a little to much. I hear its resonation and imo it doesnt really fit the rest of the music.
All in all 9/10 5/5

Please return the favor on my new jazz song: Airport Goodbye

ThePal responds:

Thanks for the review. :D
I see that the resonance on the bass synth gets a bit too high now. I'll get that down. Else i think that the basspad and the high sparkly sound fit quite good. I think that it could be set down abit, and it also could sound nice. I'll go trying it out.
By the way, checked out your song. Very nice. :D

awesome song

it's almost totally flawless! the bass i see is better than you're other songs i most say.
And it is relaxing to hear so, GOOD JOB. HAVE SOME COOKIES!

ThePal responds:

I'll go down to the nearest mart and buy some orange cookies now. :3
Many thanks for the review. ^^

Wow!

that was just one of the best ambient song i´ve ever heard.
that pad at the beginnig combined with the bass, I could hear this part over and over again.

10/10 5/5 awesome work!

If you´re a little bored, check out my dance song "The Sunlight". would be happy if you did :).

ThePal responds:

That is also truly the part of the song i'm happiest for.
The first song that i'd call a flawless victory. :P
Many thanks for review. :D

I'll be checking your song. :)
