I like the distorted texture at the beginning and the synths. There might be a bit too much reverb in the mix for my tastes, but the eagle screech sound effect was a nice touch, and I like the guitar synths and airy dance patterns. This piece sounds like a spiked ABBA song towards the beginning. There was a nice sense of climax into 1:17, although the bass there was a bit too loud and the progression and rhythmic aspects of the bass line could’ve been more creative. I also thought you could’ve done more creative work with the drums throughout this piece. My main complaint with the piece is that the composition doesn’t have a lot of room to breathe at times - by which I mean there isn’t a lot of variety in the energy levels and complexity of the texture. I would’ve liked to hear an atmospheric bridge or more minimal breakdown at some point that gave the piece a little more shape. Still, the production quality is solid, the sound design is fun, the rhythmic content is good, and overall it’s a catchy and enjoyable piece. Keep at it, MegaSphere! :)
