Some interesting musical ideas here but the mastering meant that the overall mix was very muddy. Needs more sparkle and pop in the highs and mid-highs and much more pop in the bass transients. I'd love to hear a fresh cut of these tracks mastered on better cans/speakers. :)

Description
Hi!
I tried to use a mix between some typical electric sounds and acoustic ones. The DAW I used in these case is Reaper.
There are two tracks: one is for the main theme and the other one is named "hopeless" maybe useful for some sad cinematic.

Great use of the Phrygian mode in the first track. That bass is just so cool, and the choirs fill up the space nicely. Vocals and harmonies in the second track were on point. Great composition!

Astral AvengersWoah! Hopeless took me by surprise. Hauntingly beautiful vocals, and I love the emotional evolution of the idea with orchestral elements up to the end. This is really good!

Every EmbraceOh dang, these spooky vocals are so cool, and the bass drop at the start of Hopeless was really fun to listen to!
Super evocative tracks, very cinematic and engaging. Well done!

PLASTIC & PLATEThat vocal melody on Hopeless is tight, I like the whole vibe that song has going on!

Cyber City MetroI love the contrast between the two tracks, it shows both sides to the idea of cyberpunk. sounds so cool!

DiscoFry - Dance Off!Really flashy main theme, sets the mood perfectly. I love these vocals in Hopeless. (what library is this?) Glorious when those brass horns come in. Very unique submission. Nice job!
Submitted
Neon NightI love the rock drums and the bass in the main theme, great mixes in both of the tracks! Hopeless is really serene and I like that towards the end it ends on a “hopeful” chord if you know what I mean! :D

InfiltrationMain Theme: Cool opener. Really love that lead. Is that a voice or a bass guitar? It's making me doubt.
Hopeless: Holy shit. It goes from good to amazing to stellar when it opens up with the vocal. Woah, and then the second (shifted?) voice on top. Very cool. I also really like those very quiet string/synth washes. Horns! And the way it then opens, it's like radiohead meets videogame music with a twist of your own. Even got some frisson there at the end. Amazing!
Quite experimental, but very enjoyable. Not easy to pull off, but you nailed it. Excellent work.
My favorite is by far the second track. What you made there is amazing.Submitted
Visual SnowAt first I wasn't hooked this much by the Main Theme,
but OMG HOPELESS WHAT A BANGER
This is so well mixed and you are able to create an ambience with so little instrument! Also the vocals and the little sounds you came up with fezoidjfozdnknxk they are so gooooood! Fantastic job it's an incredible track you made!
