Very progress-full indeed
The progressions are very good and well timed, but I gave this a 9 because I think you should put the progressions a little bit closer. After reading your comments, I was eager to hear the difficult parts. The beginning was very very... boring without the drums. At about 3:45, I was hoping there was more time left in the song, but there was only 1 more minute : ( This is going to suck hearing this but, I like the difficult shit lol. Dark Skies for instance-perfect. I don't know what it is about that song, but it's got a simplicity to it that makes the title promising. The chord progressions/key changes are "inspiring."
The title of this work Sanguine=cheerful, optimistic. In this piece, it sounds depressing, probably because once you build up, you build down. It's just got a really dark bad ass feeling to it.
Well, I'm not saying it's bad, and I'm not saying it's perfect, but I think it's good. 9/10, o, and look in your inbox, I have a request! GJ
