- NGADM Round 1 Review -

Very cool feel, right from the start. Very exciting, and the mood is just very upbeat and awesome. The light slowdown at 2:45 is very nicely timed, as well as the re-introduction to the main melody at 3:06 although at 3:06 the attempt to bring back the excitement was not as effective, possibly due to the overuse of certain elements that are heard quite a few times throughout the song. The mixing also has some issues in terms of getting a good, clear sound. Overall, this is a very solid track.

Score: 8

This is an NGADM Round 1 review.

I'm loving that "video game boss" feel right from the start. You seem to always have a very well-defined idea of how you're going to make a track before you even start despite what you said in the author's comments (I've noticed this in your other music too), because stylistically from beginning to end this is simple, sensible, and easily reminiscent of something you'd hear in a video game. You've got some really great ideas over here, including some perfectly enjoyable melodies, and some subtle details (like that understated melody on the square lead at 2:41 and the bitcrusher/phaser on the drums) that really bring this track together. The structure is also more or less nailed and once we get to the ending it feels like a very satisfying and well-rounded journey. Great work.

On the contrary, there are a bunch of glaring issues in this track that take away from the listening experience. The mix isn't great. It needs to be more spacious, because a lot of the time this track suffers from an unfortunate muddiness or a cluttered overall sound. This is pretty much the main problem with this track, but there are a few other more minor problems. I don't think the foreground strings fit very well with the rest of the track (along with the fact that they don't sound great themselves). The percussion has a good sound but it needs even more subtle variations because it sometimes feels very much like you made the one-bar pattern and pasted it a bunch of times. Also, I think you overuse certain elements at times, like reverse cymbals/sweeps, and that "leading note to tonic" melodic phrase. Remember, use something too much and it loses its effect!

Anyhow, this is a perfectly enjoyable track with awesome ideas and composition. Some stuff to work on, but otherwise I was impressed!

Score: 7.8/10

Lovely track once again, has a quality I have come to expect from you. It's the subtle bits that make it for me, you can barely hear them, but if they were taken away it would change the track.

Good song. Pity for the low score, it deserves more. I like the mastering very much! Also those orchestra hits are awesome in this song. Catchy as hell :3 Good luck vs headphoamz (it was her, right?) :D
