I like the tranquil atmosphere at the beginning. The chord progression and sound design are a bit cliche, but the sound design is enjoyable, and I like the melodies at :42. The production quality is pretty good, with crisp drums and a well-balanced mix throughout. I also like the filtering work at around 1:45. The transition at 2:05 was a bit sudden, but overall I like how the piece comes full-circle with the soothing E-piano line at the end. I might’ve liked to see a little more variation on the main riffs later in the piece, but otherwise the piece is well-structured. My biggest problem here is probably how generic the arrangement, harmonic framework, and instrumentation are. Still, you’ve made a catchy, well-mastered, and smooth-flowing track here, JaceyBear. Keep it up! ^_^
