Got my rating in for this just before the deadline closed, said I'd hold off on commenting until I had a little more time.
Great work with this, honestly. There's a lot of really cool ideas here and the production is really well done. I love the vibe that each of these tracks have, and they're all perfect for exploring different liminal spaces. Fantastic use of drones, ambiences and synth patches throughout. Percussion was never at the forefront of any mix but did exactly the job it needed to when present; ground the other elements, provide a steady rhythm and add some flavour.
The bass-work throughout this is genuinely phenomenal. Gritty, hard hitting patches that have just the right amount of movement to feel organic. They're huge and ominous when they want and need to be, and simultaneously steady and drone-like when the track calls for it.
The Cinematic Trailer having such a different vibe to it is a nice touch; more upbeat, higher-end of the spectrum much more fleshed out and more of a typical arrangement for setting expectations and providing some ear candy. My favorites of the bunch are probably Waking Up or Combat - two very different tracks but arranged and produced to perfection.
Really solid work here - genuinely enjoyed this. Half-hoped for a drum-and-bass or breakbeat oriented track at some point! All in all great work, diverse and great execution of the theme.
