Black Sheeps Wool: this is a cool opening track, and actually has a lot of harmonic depth to it! There’s lots of charm and character in the muddy, reedy synths. I think the drums are the only thing that take me out of it. They’re a bit too overactive, and don’t fit the bizarre soundscape we’re in. I like the slowdown at the end a lot too. 

Blender’s Scale: goodbye, tonal harmony. Again, I find the percussion to be quite grating against the otherwise-gentle synths, but I really love this oozing, freakish harmonic language! Super unique stuff. Sounds like there was some pretty awesome electric guitar going on—wish we got some more of that.

Yard With Lunatics: you’ve got a knack for working with synths! Pretty impressive stuff going on here, and it’s clear that you have a real intuition when it comes to harmony. This one does get a little repetitive at times, but I admire that each repetition uses different instruments and other slight variations to keep things more interesting. Plenty of soundtracks will loop the same 8 bars forever with very little change. The slow distortion at the end is epic. Really, really cool!!!

Overall, I think you should be proud of yourself. There’s plenty of fresh and exciting music here, both harmonically and through the very cool synths you’ve used—plus lots of fun, blink-and-you-miss-it details. It isn’t perfect—nothing is! Who are you comparing yourself to? Just hit the ground running next time and remember that it’s all for fun and experience, not for glory. Well done, and keep writing!

I grew up listening to A LOT of Caravan Palace, and these guys are masters at organised chaos and harmony - for me at least. Thier first two albums are like, SO underrated when it comes to composition and I strive to achieve this level of compexity in my music [That is also well mixed]. Altho, only recently I actually put to use my ears and tried composing melodies with more depth than relying on percussion to do it for me. I've fallen in love with 7th Chords
When it comes to YWL, I wanted this one to drag for a bit, indeed. Left the listener to wonder how Basia ended up at the end
Thanks for the kind words. I didn't want to come off as tryhardish nor self-pitying. I'm comparing myself to, well myself and I know I can do better
