[Windows 95]

Wow, that's absolutely amazing. Feels just like the mid-late 90s. I also enjoyed that little error-like thing at the end with the original chord.wav. I'm definitely looking forward to listening to more of your tracks using Windows sounds if you plan to make some in the future!

[X3ll3n - Crisis]

Fire! I defo enjoyed the entire track. It's not that complicated but at the same time it's really nice and powerful. Keep up the good work!

X3LL3N responds:

Thanks a lot ! :D

[T y p i c i t y [Chillhop]]

Wow that's cool, definitely sounds like [as]. 5/5.

[~Fore~ Heart of Steel (loop)]

This is pure gold, man. Last time when I listened to a really good DnB song from mid-late 2010s was... I don't even know! Not gonna lie, this is one of the best tracks I've ever listened to and I don't mind the repetitivity at all. Drums, bassline, synthesizers - all of that made me enjoy every second of the song. Keep it up.

aliaspharow responds:

Thats so nice! Thank you man I'm really glad you like it! Tried a lot of new stuff with this one including recording the electric guitar and Singing in my very own song for the first time!

[~Fore~ Shadow (NG Edit)]

I absolutely love that ascending synth at the beginning! Drums are great and powerful, I'd say the same thing about bass. Not a big fan of the voices though but I don't mind that much. Leads and plucks are also doing a good job there. It is really pleasant for listening. Nice one!

[Whirlwind]

Another great track, everything's sounding good however at the first time I honestly wasn't sure if the drums are slightly too weak compared to orchestral instruments around 1:00. I feel like they would need a bit more "power" just like the 1:18 impact does have. I might be completely wrong about that but that's my very humble opinion. Anyway I'm really astonished by the song's climate!

[Avizura - Sugar Rush]

Yeah it defo sounds like Pendulum, I dig it! These plucks remind me rather of some classic 90s dnb, but it's a nice combination nonetheless, great job bro.

AvizuraNG responds:

Thank you! Yeah you got that right, this is a tribute to Pendulum and other DnB artists from last decade :)

[Digital Crystals]

Dude, as always, you nailed it and this is an awesome track. This stuff will never stop amazing me honestly. I love how this is still keeping the DioSynth/Absolutia feel because those are my favorite songs you've ever made. Synths, pads, drums, all of that is perfectly matched to each other. Keep it up man although your great work is underrated and deserves more attention in my opinion.

[If I Say Goodbye]

I swear to god, before I read the description I thought this song is from like 2006 at least or something... Man, your music was defo ahead of the time, I love it. Dang, if I only lived back then. This masterpiece deserves a 5.

Stroberider responds:

Nice! I appreciate that! This track definitely ate a lot of my production time up trying to get that Paul van Dyk sound I was looking for. I felt like this was definitely one of my better production pieces, as it was my very first Vocal Trance tracks. Thank you so much for all the love!

[New Beginnings (Original Mix)]

It's amazing me how modern it sounds despite being made 23 years ago. Now I'm wondering what did you use for this... Strangely enough some synths sound kinda like Sytrus which wasn't even a thing as well as the entire Fruity Loops program, the only idea that comes to my mind is that you used some sort of a tracker to create this song. Anyway that's a really nice track!

Stroberider responds:

This was created on an older version of Cubase VST 4.0. There were some pretty amazing sound fonts in it that were absolutely legendary for its time. No tracker, just good ol' fashioned sound design. This was my first time experimenting with filtering, hence why certain frequencies are ear-piercing. That was the noob in me. Lol Thanks again for the great score and review!
