I've always loved this song. It’s calming, and I can’t pinpoint when I first heard it, but I've been listening to it for a long time. It's on some of my oldest playlists. I adore how you can hear the loops. When the beat morphs and introduces that pulsing sound, it’s such an interesting moment. I get lost in the song in a really great way.
I love the lo-fi mixed with sharp synths. It feels like opposites meeting. This track has a retro vibe that reminds me of old video games, and it’s no wonder the creators of Hotline Miami were drawn to this musical atmosphere. Learning that made me want to play the game. It also makes me want to listen to Groundislava; I really like this style and I used to be obsessed with this sound when I was in highschool.
I feel like I blink and these songs are over, passing so fluidly through time. Maybe it’s the loops—they’re such good background tracks that put me in a calm mood and help me focus. Sometimes the sound feels blown out, but I appreciate the effect when it glitches and goes in and out. I keep needing to relisten to tracks because I realize I completely missed it. The song just slipped by (I'm collaging right now).
Dramatic. I love dramatic booms in music. I really, really do… Imagine hearing that in a movie theater.
I love the guitar here. It’s an interesting intersection of sounds. The breakbeat style mixed with the guitar loop and a hint of dread really captivates me. It reminds me of glitchier music I enjoyed as a kid, like "Ants" by EdIT. The voice startled me, and the long outro was unexpected.
I wasn’t convinced by how the last song trailed out for so long, but this one makes that feels cohesive, fading out for a long time, then here fadign in for a long time . It zenned me out, making me feel like I was on a different planet all of a sudden. This track felt less like a song and more like a state of being. I guess the whole album kind of feels that way.
