Really solid, the first two tracks' transitions and energy are incredible ! it sort of reminds me of the same epicness and sweeping scores of mario galaxy, and this only continued into the second track, which had some synths that are very reminiscent of that game. I love the mix, the variety of instruments create this otherworldly feel that kept me engaged the whole way through. It's simply magical. 


The 5th track was a bit of a head scratcher, not because it's bad but because the melodies seemed more inspired by something like owl city or other early 2010s pop acts. It still had me imagining the same sort of world attached, and it definitely fits thematically, but I wasn't really a fan of the jarring switch up, nor did it do as much for me as the preceding tracks. 

Track 6 picks back up with the same things I loved about the opening cuts, however I do think the sine wave synth got a little repetitive after hearing it so much.  I also felt like the bass was incredibly weak, in the opening orchestral section. It does pick up but I still felt like like low end was a bit too high-passed on some percussive elements. 

A Tale's End was really pretty, a soft closer to a fantastical score of music ! I really enjoyed the whole thing.  Incredible work !

Thank you so much for such a thorough listen and for taking the time to write this entire comment! Overall I fully agree with all you've said! :)

When we approached working on this project together, we pulled many of our favorite video game space themes and analyzed them, since neither of us have had extensive “space” composition experience. We noticed there were several different styles that all felt like “space” and some of our early ideas (prior to writing the story) were to create tracks in each of these different space sub-categories. Some of them I agree ended up landing really well in this OST while others were a good experimentation, but maybe didn’t hit the mark. I appreciate your comments of track 5 sticking out and I think I agree. This was the first track I made to try and experiment with my sound libraries to try and find a space palette. It was intentionally trying to be poppy since one of the space categories we noticed we called “space pop” and included Rainbow Road themes and several Sonic themes. So the references you picked up were spot on, but I get that it feels like the odd one out of the bunch. This is a great takeaway point from this whole experience! I also really appreciate the mixing notes for the battle track - I hear exactly what you are referring to and totally agree. Great ears! And to be compared to Mario Galaxy is a wonderful compliment. That was a big inspiration for the first two tracks for sure! Thank you once again!
