[Love Once Lost in a Dream]

Well done... I really like the first part of the song; it's really soft and climatic and these untypical chord progressions add even more flavor. The second part though gets more dynamic, which makes some nice contrast between those parts. All that harmonic stuff makes so much sense, that even I wish I could make it this well... And the most important thing: "real" instruments are greatly mixed unlike mine ;v;
This track is definitely going to be a hard opponent to me.
Once again, great job and good luck!

CloakedSoup responds:

Thanks a ton! I enjoyed your track as well, and loved your ability to mix in electronic elements. Regardless of the outcome, this competition always pulls together great and talented musicians!

[Sicra - Orbital [NGUAC]]

Woah, it really feels like rocket powered carousel... I really adore originality and sound design of this piece.
You'll definitely score high in the finals, good luck!

SicraMusic responds:

Glad you liked it! This was actually my fourth attempt at making a song, I knew I wanted something experimental but I just couldn't get anything to sound right for two days straight. I feared that I won't be able to submit anything, then this weird drop idea happened and everything else came naturally after that.

[May It Remain Untouched - [NGMT '24 WINNER PHASE 1]]

Amazing work, to be honest there's nothing wrong about it. Great choice of instruments and SFX, mastering / mixing is done perfectly. Best cinematic track I've ever found on Newgrounds so far.
Keep it up !

carboluka responds:

That's quite the achievement, thank you!

[Space Ride]

That sounds awesome! It's almost as good, as some chiptune artists' tracks like Danimal Cannon or Shiroboon. I only think that sometimes the melody is a bit too repetitive, but it also gives an interesting vibe to it. You definitely deserve to be scouted.

LunitaCL responds:

Thank you. I also think the melody is too repetitive, I'm not entirely proud of this piece, it's one of the few where I used the same chords for most of the track.

[Crustaceans (animate this pls)]

Woah, that one goes... moist
I could animate this, but I think I am too bad in animating
...and I make music...

Jenital responds:

Still glad to hear you liked it!
