Wow... This is such a huge step for you... This is something I'd never expect to catch on NG. The whole song tells a story that hasn't been provided for it (If that makes sense). As in it doesn't need a game, picture, animation, video or even a title the audio on it's own tells the tale.
My absolute favourite segment was around 5:20 when the bass starts strumming along which is then followed by instruments humming along followed by even more that start spiralling around it ever so slowly. It's stuff like that that I love about this track, that has so much movement.
With the constant change, I find myself listening over and over to truly appreciate every little detail. You've really outdone yourself this time, I can't find a single flaw with this track.. You even managed to stay completely away from your usual patterns, not to mention improved mastering, clarity and with so much control of the spacing of literally everything. It's like you've created some kind of map with the audio itself.
I cannot stress how much I love this song. well done! You and Kor both deserve to be in the finals well done! :D
