So Lovely, its a shame that is not allowed to use in Geometry Dash :(((
Really nice sound design and cinematic flair here. At first, I had a bit of trouble following the meter, but once it’s in 3/4 time at :24 with a strong downbeat, it gets easier. :) I love the majestic choir at :40 and the transition back into the brass melodies at :56. The fast pacing, dramatic tone, and variety in the sound design really make this piece what it is. I love the mood at 1:35 or so - it’s the perfect combination of adventuresome and apprehensive. Despite the slower pace, the part at 2:10 really feels like a grand arrival point for the piece. The melodies are so triumphant, and the choir is simply angelic. I feel like I’m face-to-face with Poseidon himself after weathering the superstorm of the century. Fantastic work, CloakedSoup! Wonderful to have you back in the NGADM. Remind me to catch up with some of your other work from the past couple of years at some point. ^_^

Oh how far you have come. My critiques would sit on mix, particularly those stubborn trumpets and some verbs, but I think you know what to do with those. Great work!
Thanks! I originally had done like 60% of the work on the mix before uploading this originally, but I never got around to finishing/cleaning it up before moving onto other projects (story of my life haha).
This work sounds amazing! Maybe it's not sound finished for you, but I sure most of the listeners don't mind :)
I love the way this track sounds, but please give us the option to download it so we can put it on our MP3 players.
I will be doing this once I have the time to go back and properly mix and master it (the current version is basically like 50-60% mixed bc of the deadline for the competition). It may take some time, bc I have other paid work that is currently taking precedence.
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.
