[Safety]

This is good. I feel like certain parts of the song are quite calming or relaxing in some way especially the beginning and the part afterwards. The melody to me feels a bit happy while maybe being a bit melancholic or nostalgic and it matches the name of the song. When you feel safe or are in a place that doesn't make you feel scared and isolated or with someone that you don't feel in danger with, you feel content because you know that nothing will happen nor will the happiness break. Sometimes you can be in a situation or with people that make things feel unsafe and for some people they can't get out of that situation so they feel scared, isolated and it affects them severely. Once they get out or find people that make them feel safe and happy, they feel content and it's like they're troubles are being melted away. I feel like this song has a happy yet sad feel to it because it could be representing different things or how just feeling safe and being with people who understand you can make you feel safe. The drop feels energetic but it has quite a sad feel to it which could represent the people who have experienced bad things with people and have experienced situations that have made them feel unsafe. They are remembering the memories and the things they have experienced and the pain it may have caused them. The energetic feel probably represents the happiness of finally being safe and knowing that you won't be in danger again because you know that you are safe and are with people who make you feel safe. That's all I can think of saying for this. I do really like the parts at around 0:22 and 1:51 since they do remind me a bit of 90's rave music but only slightly. Other than that, I don't have anything to say.

[Dawn]

This is really good. The only issues I have with this is that I feel like it's a bit reptitive in places and I do feel like it could be shortened slightly which would avoid it being repetitive but other than that, there isn't really any issues I have with this. I really like the overall atmosphere of the song and I feel like it matches the name of the song since it's like something is about to start or happen. You're seeing a new age or new era begin and you're watching as everything is changing and the things you used to know and do are now old and outdated compared to this new era. One of my favourite things about this song in general is the buildups, especially the parts that are like the one at around 0:22. That part has a very euphoric feeling to it and it really helps to give the song an atmosphere. To me, it really makes me imagine a world that's either experienced a catastrophic event or one that's about to and because of this event, the world is about to change. The drops have the opposite feel to the melody and they're more darker and less euphoric compared to it but it really helps me to imagine that world trying it's hardest to fight against this event. Other than that, I don't really have any thoughts about this.

[BETTER OFF (ULTRA)]

I like this a lot as it feels really chaotic but it's not chaotic in a bad way but in a good way. It matchs the lyrics and the meanings that could be implied from those lyrics. It feels chaotic because it could show how when you let go of someone or something that hurts you, you can notice the changes in the way you feel. You start to realize that maybe it's better to leave them or no longer have that one thing that made you feel that way because you've noticed that they may have been the one causing you to feel that way. The chaotic feel of the song also progresses and it becomes more chaotic towards the end. The start is really calm and it sounds very melancholic compared to the later parts which could imply that you're remembering the way you felt when you were with that person. The buildups are a mix between being chaotic and melancholic. They have elements of both sides in them which could show that you don't know if you should be with that person or not. You're thinking about whether or not it's the right decision and what could happen if you do leave them but because of how you feel around them, you question if staying is the correct choice as well. The later parts like the drops are more heavier and chaotic than the other parts which could imply that you've realized that it's better to not to be with that person. It's more heavier and chaotic because it shows how much you've changed and how you no longer have the same feelings or thoughts about that person that you were with.

Anyway, I really like what you've done with both the buildups and the drops. The buildups in this are probably my favourite thing about it. I can't really describe my thoughts about them but I think they really help to give the song a meaning. As for the drops, I like how how they are the opposite of the buildups in a way. The buildups have a more of a calming feeling so you might expect the drops to be a mix between being calm and being intense but instead they're just intense. Other than that, I have nothing else to say about this.

[Psychosis]

This was really interesting and unique. I really llike the atmopshere of the track and how calming yet chaotic it sounds. I feel like the chaotic and calming atmosphere represents Psychosis as it's like your losing touch with everything around you. Reality is slowly shifting into a new one and one that only you can see. Things are starting to change and your seeing things or feeling things that no one else can feel or see which is why the song is chaotic as you can't tell what's real and what isn't. No matter how hard you try, you just can't tell what is real and what isn't which is what causes you to lose touch with reality. Your mind becomes a mess and it ends up blurring the line of dream and reality. The song could be calming at the same time because it shows how maybe a part of you knows what's real but because your mind is believing everything your seeing it ends up ignoring that feeling. Although, it could be calming because the person could be seeing someone they care about as maybe in their new reality, this person is still alive. They can hear they voice, see their face and for them it's like they've always been alive. This song is beautiful and you've managed to create an atmosphere that feels both intense but euphoric at the same time. You've done a good job on this. My only complaint would be that the synths are a bit loud which does cause the beat and other sounds to be drowned out but I feel like this was intentional so I don't think it needs to be changed.

[Hell]

This is really nice. I feel like the song would be playing when everything is being destroyed or when everything is about to come to an end. The intro melody really gives a melancholy feeling like your watching everything around you fade away. The buildup to the part at around 1:05 also gives me this feeling as it could show the last people trying to figure out a way to stop everything from being destroyed. The part after that really reminds me of like a final boss fight where you have to fight this thing that's been released and stop it from potentially ending the world. The part afterwards at 2:38 could be when you've beaten it but you weren't capable of saving everything around you and your seeing the remains of what was left of this destruction. The singing could aslo be a way of showing this as you are questioning whether what you did was good and what you could have done if you had been there in time. Once again, you've done a really good job

[Ray Of Doom]

I wasn't expecting this as this is actually really good. The song reminds me a bit of Doom for some reason and I can imagine this song being in the game which is a bit of a coincidence as the title has Doom in it. The drop at 0:27 and 1:44 reminds me of the Vega Core song from the 2016 Doom but if it had more Dubstep elements in it. Other than that, I don't really know how else to describe this song. Also, I like the cover art since it's like a vortex or portal to another world which fits in with the title of the song

[EXOPLANET ft. Luna Lenta]

This is brilliant! This is exactly the type of trance music I love. The energy and euphoric melodies yet it contains those more heavier and less euphoric parts. I feel like the name suits the song since there are many different exoplanets in space and each one of those planets has new opportunites to explore. The more lighter and melodic parts like the intro or 1:16 are showing the beautiful side of the exoplanets and how visually stunning they are. The more heavier and less melodic parts like 0:51 and 3:23 are showing the more darker side of the exoplanets and how they may look beautiful on the outside but on the inside they aren't as beautiful as you thought they were. I will definitely be putting this on repeat for the next few days and I will definitely be checking out some of your other songs if they're like this

[Emotical Bits]

This reminds me a lot of the old hardcore/hardstyle songs from around 2010 or after. It also for some reason reminds me of the music that would be played during old YouTube tutorials or those montages that people would make. If you intended for the song to sound like this then you have absolutely acheived that but if you didn't then it's still a good song regardless. I really love these types of song just because they are so euphoric and relaxing. Amazing work!
