[PRYZM - Dark Side ft. Messinian]

you worked with THE OG Messinian? that's awesome!

the song itself isn't bad too :)

[Liftoff]

delicious chromaticism in the beginning chord progression, i just wish there was more to the production; basses, pads, fatter drums, etc

ObeseChihuahua1 responds:

Got it.
Thanks for the feedback!

[Search For A Digital Angel]

really pretty, very nostalgic! the zero g datafiles are awesome

[Passage]

really cool! kind of jazzy, i like the way you used instruments that i personally wouldn't immediately associate with vgm in a vgm context

[drive (with NeoFox)]

i really like the granular stuff in the background, and the analog-style leads at around 3:57 sound very cool! the spoken word sample at the very end along with the colorized stuff really sells the vibe, this is definitely quite relaxing to listen to and doesn't feel all that much like 5 minutes

[Laika The Space Dog]

the melodies are great! to be apt, they're very spacey and consonant. i think the solo sounds good, nothing flashy but just enough to propel the song. i feel like 1:07 there could have been a longer pause with some reverb

Broccoplant responds:

Thank you so much! I was and still am kind of iffy on the solo but I think I'll brush that off as creator's curse. I agree about the pause and have attempted, pre-posting, to re-adjust the timings a little but I couldn't seem to get anywhere with it.

[Jeż]

the harmony is nice, although as with your latest upload the production is quite lacking. i also feel like structurally this could be less repetitive, maybe introduce some breaks or new melodies

Broccoplant responds:

I was thinking the same thing when I was adding finishing touches but I didn't have the energy to do all that so I just finished the song. I may make a re-done version later when I am better at production. I made this song around a year ago so my music making skills were... less than fortunate. Thank you so much for the feedback!

[Boss∞]

it's alright. i feel like the main thing that is hampering this song is production quality. i don't know what this beepbox fork is capable of but from what i've seen it isn't a lot, and i know something like this would benefit from more powerful synths and software. the melodies are nice, maybe a little repetitive, although the break at 0:52 sounds a bit empty, i feel like there could have veen a muted bassline there. same with the percussion. overall it's not bad!

Broccoplant responds:

Thank you! I will look back at the song when I get the time and see if I can't make a re-attempt version on a dif software maybe? I agree with you about the synths and the break is quite empty. It was intentional but I have no doubt that it wasn't executed well. Thanks for the feedback!

[Hyper Rainbow Gun]

awesome stuff! kind of reminds me of squarepusher's "stor eiglass"

EDIT: also "rayc fire 2" from the same album

Preds responds:

Thank you! And yeah, I hear the similarities, neat stuff too :)

[Nexus]

very good artcore! i would have loved to hear some violin or other strings though, but the piano holds its own very well
