I like the blissful mood at the beginning. The sound design is a bit cheesy, although I like the melodic content at :30 and the sense of climax into :45. The sidechaining is a bit heavy, and I think the reverb is a bit excessive at times, especially on the pads. The arrangement of the piece is a little cliche, although the progression is smooth. Mixing-wise, it’s clear that the the kick is distorting the lead and pads at 1:45, although I can hear most of the other instruments clearly throughout. I liked the little fake-out transition at 2:30, and the composition comes together well by the end. Some more variation on the main melody would’ve been nice, especially towards the end, and the ending was a little sudden. Overall, I like the harmonic content, mood, atmosphere, and rhythmic components. The mastering, composition, and variety might need a bit more work. Keep at it, Vatriox! :)
