Hey @bittersweetdb - we seem to have the same topic this #fedivision, but very different approaches. I remember how devastated I was when I was writing "Mars" and how weirdly dancy it turned out... But your song definitely captures my mood back when I was writing. I was so. Devastated. #fedivision #STUB #Fedivision2023

Really enjoy the song by @negativeplayers. First things first, I'm blown away by the production quality here, it sounds sooo good! And then - it is a fantastic song! The chord progressions are gorgeous, the way the melody interveawes with the backing vocals is especially satisfying, and the lyrics are 😗 👌

Solarpunk Grazery by @keefmarshall is another one of those polished, super beautiful tracks that just captured my heart at the first few chords. I enjoyed the piano lines weaving so many beautiful harmonies with guitar and vocals.
And it's a positive tune, mostly. That's just what I needed! Thank you!

Listening to #MOUL is really relaxing. I love the synthy arpyness of this track, and as a sucker for nice breakdowns, it's been fun to follow this track along! #fedivision

#WSEC is such a beautiful dark industrial song! Love the distorted bass drum especially, the effects on the vocals too. Solid track! Well done! #fedivision

#WOEM Love the etherealness and the theremin-like instrument, the melodies intertwining, the weirdness of the effects. And then the song takes *off*, it's really nice! #fedivision

#OMTF with a shanty! I heard so much buzz about the title already, the fediverse is in awe! Sadly, shantys are lost on my (I just can't, I am so sorry!), but composition, idea, performance, production and sound are all amazing! #fedivision

#BRST I admit, I was irritated by the long intro. I am not one for waiting, you see. Sorry... But the song is proggy, ethereal, beautifully crafted, has a feeling of... like something that would happen if Jim Steinman met Dream Theater. #fedivision

#BLLM Awesome lyrics! Many have remarked that a more punchy end production could really round this one off, and I agree. But it's alredy a stunning piece of music with lots of energy. #fedivision

Yes, it's quite a difficult track to get into. Lots of people may turn away because of all the distortion.
But I think exactly here is where a deep quality may be found! The distortions are like a hand crafted art - everyone is different, each is exciting by its own. Same goes for the barks - it's not just a stupid sample, overused all over, the barks develop a beautiful dynamic tension, making the track the animal beast it is.
I can't wait cruising through Berlin at night with the cars windows open, with this tune running in the cars stereo full blast volume cranked up to 12/10! Only The Cat™ has to stay home (eating another snack there).
