[FD - Where Did the Time Go]

This track has a very interesting chill but eerie vibe to it! I really enjoyed reading the text in the comments while listening to this. The textures added in are filling the song super well and the simple melodies just work. Good job! :)

Thank you very much!

[Débonnaire Inc.]

This is so cool! I wouldn't expect DnB drums to work so well with jazz but you pulled it off really nicely. I love how the track ends just like the beginning, making it super loopable. Listened to this quite a few times already and it never gets tiring. Good job! :)

Thank you!

[Particulate Matter]

Super cool piece, I love the strings in the second half. Reading the description while playing the song makes it even more interesting. I'm a big fan of themed songs like this and knowing what the song is about gives it a really gloomy vibe.
I've definitely learned something new while listening to this! Good job :)

[Sudatory]

Pretty cool! Kind of sounds like synthwave, as Arponax mentioned, and I could very well see this in a game. I find it to be slightly repetitive and there isn't really any outro, but the different elements with all the effects work pretty well! Good job :)

[CRY.NN - ATMOSFÄR (NGAIC Layer 4)]

I honestly can't think of anything that could be changed. Perfect as it is!
I'm a big fan of how the kick sounds and the atmosphere is impeccable. Never gets repetitive due to how the song is structured and all of the effects thrown here and there. Incredible to me how a song with bascially no melody can be as interesting as this. Good job :)

[NeverEndingStress(NGAIC layer 3)]

Awesome! Nothing feels out of place and all of the parts are glued together pretty well! I'm not super familiar with industrial music either but to me, you got the vibe of genre. Listening to this, I can see exactly the scene you mentioned in the description. There isn't really anything I'd change. Good job! :)

[Daru925 - フィジー]

Quite an interesting track! Sounds like something I'd hear while dreaming. Weird but in a good way! Although the song sounds simple, the melodies are pretty catchy and the effects added make it pretty unique. It can sound a bit dissonant at times but dissonance kind of makes the charm of the song in a way. Good job! :)

Daru925 responds:

Ah yes, dissonance and out of tune are "desirable qualities^^" in IDM; it's reminiscent of cheap synths that ran on AA batteries, and would drift a lot when power became low :)
ひひょうありがとう練馬,errネミラ！

[FD - Requiem for a Dying Universe]

I love this so much! Has an overall great vibe from beginning to end and I'm a big fan of the strings here. Having this be 13 minutes long honestly makes it better. It progresses really nicely and I don't think a shorter track would've achieved that level of awesomeness. That last part really finishes it off nicely and there isn't really anything I would change. Good job! :)

[NGAIC 2023, Layer 2 - Meng & Jing (Super Famicom Faketune Fakerip)]

Quite lovely! I don't know if it's intended but this track feels quite sad and I could definitely see this play at the end of a game! I really like the ambient sounds added in combined with the distorted 8bit sounds and the initial melody coming back at the end closes it pretty well. I personally think the panning could be slightly reduced but aside from that, it's pretty solid. Good job :)

[Caught in a storm (NGAIC Layer 2)]

I actually quite like the blending of instruments and synths here! The 1:19 part being my favorite, it felt a bit short compared to the other parts of the song. In my opinion, big parts of the song having no drums combined with the drums being somewhat weak kind of reduces the impact the track has. I also think adding in some risers and slightly adjusting the melodies could give a very nice result. Good work :)
