Odd time signatures, jazz harmony,  unusual scales - there's a lots of complicated musical ideas. There isn't a dull moment when you're tinkering with so much, there's always an unexpected turn around the corner or at the next track. The F# major to A dominant 7 was pretty spicy in  Subaquatic Saunter (Action).

The soundtrack starts of oozing with 90's vibes with some modern polish. By the time I reached the end, Mechacanthine Foreboding and Epilogue (Within the Soul) stick out a bit to me; the samples are a bit too good and the performances are a little too  realistic when compared to the more proudly digital start of the soundtrack.

Nevertheless, it's a very eclectic combination of sounds and musical ideas. Even if it doesn't always sound cohesive it's never boring. Kudos.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked that chord movement, wanted to add some spice over the IV-bVI movement that the regular variant had. Yeah I wanted to have the big tonal shift going into Mechacanthine Foreboding (along with the switch to Phrygian Dominant) to differentiate the depths of the ocean from the higher zones. I probably could have used a digital lead on that track to smoothen the transition between the two halves of the OST.

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

Maybe this is a personal bias, but I find changing the fidelity / realism of the instruments a little jarring for descending the depths of the ocean. Which is strange when I think about it, because the bottom of the ocean could resemble a different planet or dimension with the lack of sunlight, strange lifeforms and ridiculous amounts of pressure. I don't find a change in time signature, key signature or instrumentation that weird for some reason. I'll need to think about this a little more to figure out why I feel this way.

Good solution anyway, using a track to transition between the two sections would make it feel more natural.
