[Deltarune - Another Him Remix]

Ooooooh, this bops.

[LOL IN THE HOUSE]

Pendulum vibes, digging the hell out of this. Keep it up!

[RawRobot]

Fantastic use of blitter here, the way that the melodic shit kicks in at the one minute mark is great, and it only gets better. Definitely hits the "videogame BGM" vibe, focused and repetitive but in a VERY good way that has notable subtle and not so subtle variations in the phrasing and individual patterns- especially the bass that comes bubbling up near the three minute mark,and the trilling synth behind it. I feel like I'm listening to a Razor1911 track. Gorgeous ending, too.

Kapuko responds:

Thank you for the feedback! Honestly, comparing my work to that of Razor1911 is one of the best compliments I've gotten yet! :D

[Get On My Level]

Hard as fuck, absolutely insanely great work here. The alert siren is very, very well done, and really adds to and sells the oldschool cyberpunk motifs and sounds/complements them super super well. amazing shit, please never stop making music

[First Day Dark]

Massive and hard hitting, dark and intense, like coffee for my eardrums. Keep it up.

one large with cream and sugar coming up B)

[The Forbidden Jungle Temple]

vibing, definitely wanna hear more. would be dope to hear something like this, but longer and slowed a little bit, more playing with chopping percussion maybe. cool stuff!

Accel-yo responds:

happy you enjoyed it dawg. And thanks for the input, I'll defiantly have a slower / more mellow liquid track coming out in the future, so watch out for it ;)

[Please Help Me I Can't Get Past The Character Select Screen!]

serious sonic 3 & knuckles vibes, I am absolutely loving this!

[Sno Cone]

fresh, chill, and hype. excellent use of percussion to frame the other sonic elements! this smacks so hard, looking forward to seeing which melody is the teaser!

[Delirium Takes You]

Love the way that the track builds, especially how the bassline and melody start very intertwined and grow quickly into distinct sounds, the second rise through to 1:30, then to the drop at 1:42 is stellar and keeps the hype flowing smoothly through to 2:30, but unfortunately for me the track cuts off and skips to the end at 2:30! Downloading to hopefully manage to listen to the rest of it, but absolutely banging up until then!

Edit: Alright! Got it to play fully after downloading! Glad I did, because the second half of the track is even sicker than the first! The vibejack down at 2:34 is great, and the slowly building riser and more of the original sound coming back up to the hard stop at 3:11 is sick, then the lowpass filtered bass getting that filter opened up, the drums crashing in, the whirlwind strikes back and takes you! The cold end on the melody solo is perfection. Absolutely enthralled, a new favourite banger, looking forward to whatever you throw up next!

GlitchingDreams responds:

Been a hot while since I've gotten in-depth feedback. I genuinely appreciate this to a high degree. I'm glad you enjoyed this track, and will try to keep raising this bar of mine :>

If you're looking forward to seeing what else I work on, you can always find me on YT; I post more music there than I do here since I can't typically post remixes or certain songs here on NG.

[Winter Morning Walk]

Fantastically chill track that has that timeless Chieli Minucci/Special EFX vibe to it! My only nag would be that the dropout into the drums at ~1:00 is too sudden of a cutoff, with the muting of all else but the drums adding a bit too much harshness/making the transition a little jarring without the reverb carrying from the instruments- but other than that it's a solid piece, very melodic and chill yet mentally energizing! Great work!

Codefreq responds:

Noted, thank you very much. Glad you like the song. :)
