Before getting into the music - the artwork is really pretty and eye-catching. I'm already getting some expectations set up as for what it might sound like.

Really nice orchestration throughout - I dug the hell out of Aquatic and had to give it another 2 listens back to back. Great choice of chords and utilization of the space between to fill them with some reverb goodness and a bunch of ear-candy to keep the piece moving. 

Each track feels very purposefully arranged - I didn't personally encounter instances of finding any two or more to be too "same-y". Where Aquatic focuses on meaningful chords, the likes of Astronomy hones in on whimsical, progressive melodies. Ascetic's use of synth driven melodies and leads is a really nice change of pace and sound, compared to the (absolutely gorgeous) string lead found in Arboreal a few tracks prior.
A track such as Ashes, laden in ambience and a nearly ominous, foreboding sense of dread lingering, compared with something like Awakening, which is packed with whimsy, delight and a resolute sense of freedom, existing in the same soundtrack without sounding out of place or as though they've been composed by someone else is a real feat. 

Really gorgeous mix. Think this might be the one that takes the cake for me in terms of leaning so heavily and successfully into the theme. Clever use of track titles also - the prevalence of beginning with "A" and the choice of words befitting each individual track content is well done. Great work, and best of luck - this was fantastic.
