[Saving Nightmare -2019 version-]

Glad to see you back, and doing what you've always done so well.

Yqarus responds:

Thanks!
I just started... :)

[A City Not Forsaken Part I]

The Synth is a neat addition. It is playful, childlike, innocent even, when compared to the rest of the piece. This is a 'quest complete' track: a sigh of relief, a moment to look upon what was saved - and then the children come in and remind us they get to run and play again.

This was thoroughly enjoyable to listen to.

Phonometrologist responds:

When reading your description, I thought about how it also compares to salvaging our own hearts from a desolate life. To keep our motives pure and to see the future optimistically as a child would almost seems impossible unless we were to gain new lens.
I find your sentiments to be completely accurate to the track.
Thank you for letting me know.

I'm not entirely sure why, but the ludicrously blown-out speaker sound was exactly what I needed right now. Refreshing in all the wrong ways, I imagine - like walking downstairs through sticker-covered walls into a place that's all too crowded and listening to shitty music but somehow there's nowhere you'd rather be.

[Assembly Lines [REMASTER]]

This is a fantastically fun track, worth repeated listens. I'm glad to have been brought here.

Quarl responds:

Heyo, I've been meaning to give a solid listen to that pipe bomb mix but I'm working over time this week. Sounded dooooope on my phone but I must haz all the frequencies my headphones can offer.

Thanks for letting me know you gave this track a listen. Assembly Lines is a personal favorite of mine. Tis my crack baby :0

[Celestial Terrors (DEMO)]

This track is a good example of when you liked someone's earlier work and they 'grew' into something else. You were excited to buy their latest album and you put it in and instantly were like 'WTF.' You see them coming to your venue to play but you know most of the show is going to be this new stuff and you are torn. Go and hope it's going to be good? ...or you know it's going to be all this new stuff, and you're wasting time and money.

You're still supportive of them and music as a whole. You're not mad. You just look with a sense of disappointed wonder. It happens to everyone (plenty still do it to me).

[10000 Eyes Observing]

I try to listen to a piece three times before writing something, generally speaking. You made this time consuming, lol.

Around the 10 minute mark - the machine hits were my particular favourite. I thought of the best game of all time (go ahead and @ me) Chrono Trigger. The desolate future and the struggle for survival.

I think this is a big long in the tooth, but a nonetheless well done piece for what it aims to do.

[Wretched Existence Fading]

I close my eyes and wonder where it takes me. Someone of malicious intent stands triumphantly in their sanctum. Big, Long, Fire lit halls, capes are flowing, no guards - there is no need - only he remains. Whatever ceremony or ritual etc... but there is no hurry for there is no threat. Absolute confidence. Swagger. You can hear the smile here. it's there in the undertone keys. This is movie trailer music.

I didn't like the last piece, so I wanted to make sure I listened to something else :) . Here it is, something much better.

[Requiem Hope]

I closed my eyes and wondered where it would take me, the mix was intense and not necessarily in a good way, brother. I love choir but this was a wash of almost indistinguishable sound, I struggled to find myself in any place, moving in any direction. If I had to use this, it would be in a confusion scene, wherein the protagonist is grabbing his/her hair and trying to sort things out and failing miserably at everything.

Lich responds:

Haha no problem, only done this as a very quick Secret Santa piece. Not quite the kind of theme I would ever willingly do

[Baby Making Caserolle]

I just wanted to say the name of the track, by it self, was intriguing. Sometimes I wonder how titles pop into people's heads. I laughed.

[Swining]

When this first came out, I didn't care for it as much. It grew on me and has been a part of my playlist for however many years now. The image I always have in my head is someone is fucking next door and the headboard is banging against the wall and there's nothing you can do about it, the bed is creaking creaking creaking creaking creaking. MAKE IT STOP.
