[Rusty Bucket Bay Banjo-Kazooie Remix]

Definitely an eerie yet manic feel to this. Cool stuff! That reggae on rhythm in the bass works well, and I really like that progression that takes over at the 0:37 mark. I always like some plucky synths with a dotted delay. Really nice melody that comes in at 1:25. It’s all mixed quite pleasantly as well. Great work over all, so that’d be five stars for ya!

CHiLEDAWG responds:

thanks so much man glad you liked it :)

[Chill-Fi-ish]

This is a pleasant little piece! You definitely hit the “lo-fi” mark! If I could offer something constructive, I think you need a section that bring some more “oomph”, which could come with the right bass to fill it in, which would add some dynamics without sacrificing that lo-if analogue feel. Still, it’s a really nice piece, and I look forward to hearing more. Five stars!

LionJeff responds:

It's been a minute since you took the time to comment...sorry for the delay, your feedback is wonderfully appreciated and it's a great call out! I'm going to leave this one as is (since it's been that way for quite a while now lol) but I will definitely use this technique in future lo-fi tracks! Thanks!

[Brostep Thing]

This is nice loop! Definitely creates a neat vibe! I guess I’d recommend a bit more of a glide in the distorted synth, but hey, you’re experimenting! Definitely nice for what it is!

LodestarFM responds:

I appreciate the advice!

[Thing]

The bass has such a nice feel to it! Very 80’s, and goes great with the lovely tapey synths. That lead synth line is really nice as well. It feels like your reaching the climax of the film, you know what the mission is, but there is uncertainty and chaos ahead. It’s a motif that could come back again in the final struggle, but you’re not there yet. Really good stuff! Five stars!

This was actually made at the same time as "Page" and I did have some sort of Soundtrack thing in mind when I made both, this one was inspired by daft punk.

[Page]

Love the atmosphere that this creates. Definitely builds a sense of intrigue; of a musterious kind of wonder. I'm a big fan of this! Production is great. Love that synth bass coming in at 1:05, and those piano arepeggios are quite compelling. And I really enjoy that tapey synth. This piece is definitely and adventure. Very cinematic! Grea great work! Five stars, a follow, and a favorite!

GlaceonDash responds:

I had mostly not much clue as to what I was doing, but I made it based off of a story idea one of my friends had, it didn't get close to the correct mood, but it still worked!

[Loft Yard]

This a cool piece! A bit of a manic feel. Lots of cool hollow, almost bubbly synth sounds, and I like that slappy bass! Very 80s (especially those little brass stabs), but unique for sure. I'm a fan! Nice work! Five stars!

Hyenaedon responds:

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[axelthgreat - Escape]

I like the drum sounds you've got going in this. They interact nicely with the lo-fi electronic piano sounds! Also that vocoder-like synth is pretty cool. Nice work here overall. I could see this going quite nicely with some vocals if done right. Also, that quirky synth sound that comes in around the 2:00 mark adds some interest to the piece. Good stuff! Five stars!

beenibroh responds:

thank you so much man

[fires]

Wow. I keep returning to this because it's just flooded with emotion. Totally raw, exactly how I like my indie. Love those lo-fi drums! As always, great songwriting! Five stars and a favorite, no question about it.

And again, because I'm going to be a dickhead and keep pushing, you gotta get this stuff on the big platforms. I'm selfish and I want to be able to put this on some playlists and share it with people, so stop being obscure.

Bitbeak responds:

I’m working on it haha

Honestly appreciate the nudging, my brain needs that sometimes to get anything done.

Also thanks so much for the thoughtful review ^.^

[stillness]

This is neat track. You create a very dreamy landscape here. I like the way the percussion drives this piece. It's definitely different. Very cool! Five stars!

trevor8 responds:

thanks!

[Warp Factor One]

Love that brass! Pretty cool that this was recorded on an analog 8-track. Sounds great! Five stars, a favorite, and a follow!

originaldiode responds:

Thanks!
