-Official NGUAC 2020 Final Round Review-

This is a rather strange track, with an even stranger title. The sounds are pretty unique as well, and the composition is interesting enough to motivate us listening till the end. This mixing technique is uncommon but more than valid, and I had a decent time listening to the piece; the concept that rotates around the track is also solid, and doesn’t get out of control, which is a good thing. I don’t understand why did you choose “synthwave” as a genre though; even if it slightly resembles the atmosphere of synthwave music, i think this is a more “miscellaneous” kind of composition. The track lacks a bit of depth as well; a synthwave bass could have worked out pretty well if mixed and eQ-ed properly. Despite my complaints, you still did a good job on your entry, and props for taking the risk of producing something unusual among the finalists.

Originality: 2/2
Composition: 2/2
Structure: 1.55/2
Tecnicity: 1.55/2
Impact: 1.6/2
Total: 8.7/10

Thank you for your review. :)

Being original and unique is the whole point of my living.

Fun fact, I recently discovered that I'm an INFP, despise I didn't believe in all those thing, it fits me so well especially resonate with the work I did here. No amount of criticism can change what I do but my own, I'd just keep getting better with non-conforming approaches.

I have seen your name quite a bit around lately. I know you but it was before the name change and it will eternally bother me. I will not be bothered in the sense of "Ha! I knew (s)he/they then." I will not be bothered in the sense of "Hey, I know some NG trivia." A cursory glance and one can see I became irritated at the Industrial portal and found a much quieter section in experimental.

However, you're already in my fav' list. You are someone. I can point to a specific Phono. piece and say "Yep, Phono, Grinder, Lich, Me, and...you." I am nearly certain I know this person but due to combat trauma not in this current form.

I see your name around, even as insignificant and intalented people like I observe.
