Opening is quite lovely. Kick drum, snare, percussion and high hats are all good but mixed too loud. Especially the snare/kick and occasional crash cymbal. The song’s main melodic elements: leads, pads, bass, supporting melody, are all great and well mixed to each other but are getting drowned out by the drums. Mixing issues aside, this is very nice indeed. Wonderful melodies and progression. I like this a lot. I would call this more nintendo/super nintendo though not sega.
