I like the powerful chords at the beginning and the full texture. Some of the instruments could stand to sit better in the mix, though. The thin mid-high range pads sound a little indistinct, and the drums aren’t as punchy as I wanted them to be. Some more careful equalization/filtering might be in order. Still, I’m enjoying the melodies and harmonic content. The composition might need a little more shape, though. The progression is smooth, but doesn’t have a great sense of ebb and flow. A proper intro might help, and at some point a bridge or breakdown would’ve helped to add a sense of structural contrast. I like the blissful mood and most of the instruments, as well as the atmosphere, but I think the production quality needs a lot of work. I also wanted to hear you create variety in more advanced ways besides adding and subtracting instruments over time - dynamic contrast, phrasing, automation, change in energy level, etc. Still, you have a good sense of flow and harmony, and overall the composition is solid despite my structural complaints. Keep at it, Jmassie2281! :)
