I like the catchy synths at the beginning. The piece throws the listener right into the middle of the action without much of a proper intro, but I’m enjoying the progression and rhythmic content. There’s a tad too much reverb in the texture imo, which might detract from the distinctness of some of the synths in the mix, but otherwise the production quality is pretty solid here. The drums would ideally be a little more present, but the frequencies are well-balanced and the melodic instruments all come through clearly. The synth pattern at the breakdown at 2:47 is nice, but the vocoder gets a little cheesy after a while. I think this piece could also use some more variety in the harmonic content, and also some more memorable melodies later on. The piece flows nicely, and there are some cool automations and mixing effects throughout, especially during transitory moments. I think a lot of the compositional details are pretty cliche, especially the chord progression and beat. That said, I like the full texture, rich atmosphere, and rhythmic content of the piece. Keep at it, EppuJoloZ!
