[Fairytale]

super cool track, gotta love that orchestral/synth combo to make this sound like a romp through a cybernetic forest or something. the harmonic progression through the song really sells the vibe, and there's tons of engaging complexity in your sfx use (tin cans are the best instrument). as a suggestion, there's a few parts here where i feel like percussion could be used to even greater effect—e.g. i can imagine different drums leading to a more epic building + drop at 1:04, and more dynamic snares at 0:30 making the marching feel less static. song def shows lots of promise in how uniquely you process all the different samples and create a really distinct feel. keep it up!

[Mikaiah - Under Pressure]

fun stuff, lots of great chipzel-esque sfx that are layered pretty well during the busier bits. tons of really fun melodic exploration throughout, some of my favorite sections were all the stuff going on at 2:39, and the buildup to + drop at 5:53. this almost feels like a stream-of-consciousness foray into dubstep-inspired chiptune, so one suggestion i might give would be to tighten up the structure somewhat—e.g. establish a refrain, cut the song down to your favorite sections, and make it a more cohesive standalone listening experience. great song and good luck!

[Invasion]

oo that's a hella cool transition around 1:02, it almost eases you into the substantially different next section without you even realizing it at first. cool use of sfx motifs throughout the song, and the beat switchup at 2:05 on a variation of the melody is really fun. might be my speakers but it seems a lil bit overcompressed?

[Hitman's routine - NGADM Round 1]

this has a really cool atmosphere, great use of sfx. that offbeat bassy donk really adds a lot to the off-kilter vibe of the song too lmao. i'd listen to a standalone expanded version of that final section honestly

[Pizza - NGADM round 1]

hella sick track. so cool to compare this with some of your 2014 ngadm subs to see how much you've grown!

add lyrics to desc pls <3

Spadezer responds:

Thanks for the listen. I'm sad you're not in this contest this year

[Echoes of the Fallen]

ooo cool song! 0:11 gave me chills o.O

great expression work on the lead instruments as usual, and really cool how the vocal vsts sound like they're saying actual words. good luck!

Everratic responds:

It's nice to see you on ng again! Thanks for the nice comments :)

I emphasized the chord change at :11 with a soft gong hit.

[On My Own (Instrumental) | AlphaStorm]

this is hella tight! was absolutely not expecting 1:12 to come in, really cool surprise. nice solo too, reminds me of some of the stuff piratecrab used to submit to older ngadms. hope you rerelease this with vox someday!

[VIP Treatment - Day 9]

this is so nifty and energetic—i love how well it builds into a really fun, complex climax in a relatively short amount of time! the barking transitions 0:22 and 0:56 are also super fun. wish this were longer!

[Battle Born]

it took me four and a half years to realize this but the intro melody of this song is literally wake the dawn omfg
