The progression here is great! I love how the song is separated in two different sections. Some sort of outro could be a great addition to it but that aside, nothing I'd change here. Good job! :)

I like it。 It's got that sorta "Tears for Fears meets Freddy Freaker" vibe。 It's like an 80's advertisement、but ambient。

maximum action vibes

This is really cool. I don't think I've ever heard a synthwave track with such a long, cinematic intro until now. I like how it really takes its time to set the right tone and expectations for the second half. Even if the waveform ultimately spoils the track development, I kept asking myself where it's heading to, and I love that kind of anticipation. I don't have much to say on the synthwave part itself, as I think it sounds pretty good and very much in line with the genre. I was mostly engrossed by the intro and how I thought including some field recordings was a smart choice for this type of setup. I'd only be a little more careful with the mids at around 1:32 - 1:46; I think some taming would be nice here. Overall, awesome job!

I totally agree with your review. I shouldve made the automation more smooth and more flowy with the filtering. Thank you!

Cool.
