I have just awoken from my 4th cryosleep and have made visual contact with the structure. It’s such a strange feeling to wake up to my destination instead of waking up to do simple maintenance. As I approach the city, I notice the material making up this place is faded yellow brick and stone. There are plots of them, averaging about the size of my own craft but I can tell the closer we get, the larger are these “islands”. It’s weird how these pillars reach out of the bricks to only fail holding anything. I am sure that this place hasn’t been touched for generations. I thought vandals or pirates would at least set camp here, but I guess even some parts of the cosmos are left frozen in time.

Walking here creates an uneasy emotion for me. There shouldn’t be any gravity as this place can only be about 130 kilometers. It’s not even pulling itself into a globe, yet I feel as heavy as I would be on the surface of Earth’s moon. But I am not sure if that is what is creating this deep emotion. I believe humans were not meant to experience such a massive place alone. No person was alone on the streets of Rome, or the skyscrapers of New York City, or even a king in his palace. Yet here I am, a lonely reflection.

Nice composition and vibe.

I think the instruments could use some EQ/compression - I've been finding out recently that compression is one of the biggest reasons that a pro track sounds so easy on the ears. A bit more near/far as well would do a lot I think. It sounds like you've got more of a handle on the reverb, cutting out the highs. Though, I don't know if you're cutting out the lows as much - cutting out the lows really helps with cleanliness.

Great work on the vibe. :)

Nice atmosphere! It was very relaxing indeed

Entering an Ancient Place - The track does a good job of conveying the feeling that something curious is beginning.... Sounds dreamy and pensive!

Lonely Reflection - Similar - but more relaxed and a bit sad...

Overall - quite an interesting publication! Of course, I'm not a professional, but I'd like to hear a bit more variety in the tunes (I have a lot of problems with that, by the way, lol)

Good job! :>
