[These Are Our Stars]

Not bad

I'm not much for pidgeon-holing songs into genres, but if I was to guess I would say this is ambient, reason being it is repetitive, and seems a good fit for background music, and uses atmospheric textures.

Bottom line I would have liked to see more going on with this track, either some changes in the melody, or some accompanying instruments to add more variety (some more layering would have been great). I like the melody you got going there, though it doesn't seem enough to carry the track for almost 5 minutes. Besides the beats, the only real changeup is at 3:13, and it isn't that dramatic.

All in all, this piece seems like a good foundation for something that could really go farther. I would like to hear some more instrumentals, maybe some kind of lead instrument.

Other than that, not a bad background track. I'm sure your girlfriend loved it. BTW I didn't notice the piano being out of time. Production seems good.

[Train Challenge]

Nice BGM (&VGM)

This song is pretty catchy. I like the use of the chiptone synth. A cool, laid-back track, definitely worth a listen. Sounds like it's from a video game and that's right up my alley. DL'd!

[The Apparition]

Minimalistic, in a good way!

Calm and slow paced, slightly eerie and ethereal but not too spooky. I think the title is fitting. I like the instruments used here, sounds like some kind of ice bell and a koto. Not much variation, but makes for some decent BGM. I would like to see you experiment further with those instruments in another piece. I also like the wave sounds in the background, makes the song more soothing.

TheTrooper5 responds:

Thanks!
I enjoy this sort of musical style and am in fact working on a more up tempo piece with similar instruments.

[Solus- Morning Genesis]

Nice!

A warm and uplifting track, makes me think of a king returning home after a long and victorious journey. Definitely worth a listen, is now in my collection of mp3's.

SolusLunes responds:

Journeys are awesome.

[Soul Eater BG]

Epic, would fit well in a video game

I've never reviewed a loop before, but here it goes

This music makes me envision a battlefield in a wide open space, two warring armies on opposite sides of the field, arms at the ready. Epic orchestral arrangement that is well-arranged. I could see this track in a LOTR type video game. Seems to loop well. Nice track, I'm definitely going to check out more of your work.
