I love the concept of "Nevermind Kingdom", and I'm also going take a moment to shout out the display picture. 😄

The opening track, Nevermind Castle, is really nice. Great introduction to the soundtrack, solid orchestration with some nice articulations and a memorable, ambling melody. Glissandos on the harp were a really nice touch toward the end to lead into the supported leading melodies.

Plains in my Dreams captures the overworld feel really well. Loving the percussion in this; it's not overly busy, but it is getting the job done and letting the rest of the accompaniment set the tone. Really nice melodies here as well, with some having a pseudo-call-and-response feel to them. Stripping back the mix toward the end to emphasize these melodies was clever.

Wild Doubts is great; a more upbeat change of pace. There's a triumphant flair to this, but not like that of a guaranteed victory - more akin to being in the flow of battle, in control. Horns do a great job of emphasizing these kinds of feelings, so solid choice on having them take lead at points during this one.

Solace is gorgeous - it loosely reminds me of a Resident Evil save room theme. Nice, dreamy melodies without percussion to ground them. I love the subtle pads in the background; they do a great job of bolstering the theme as a whole without drawing too much attention themselves.

The Boss theme, Rejected Memory, has me feeling a couple of different ways. In one sense, it is perfectly befitting of the title as it has this kind of dramatic flair to it. Unlike Wild Doubts, there's no outright triumphant flair in this, no guaranteed victory. It's a struggle to the end; a battle of skill. On the other hand, the choice of voicings in this and the progression itself reminds me of something I might hear in something like Sonic 3 - which is really cool. Kind of scratches 2 itches at once for me in that regard.

I love the washy synth in Conflict of Ideas - it has this kind of shimmer to it that makes it stick out. The melodies above it do a great job of leaving space to breathe and allowing the accompaniment below to come to the forefront every now and again. Solid percussion work here again - not too busy, just enough to provide a heartbeat to the track.

Deepest Thought is dark and meandering in some senses. Has a kind of ambiguous mood to it - not quite sure how I'm supposed to feel, but striking that balance of ambiguity is no easy feat so kudos in that regard. If I had to pick a word to sum this kind of theme up, I think I'd go with pensive.

Wi-Fi Settings, both as a title and the track, was completely unexpected but wholly welcome. I love how this feels more akin to something I might hear on a very early 16-bit title. It's got a subtle groove to it and a memorable melody - I'd even go so far as to say this is a bit of an ear-worm. I'd have actually loved to hear a little more in this style!


All in all, great work. Nice varied selection of tracks, each of which explores a different mood. Great arrangements, well produced. This was a fun listen and has me wanting some more. Best of luck! :)
