Every time when i listen to this song it amazes and inspires me.
And when i listen to other Drum 'n' Bass song i 'm trying to do Drum 'n' Bass too, but back to the review.
It starts out with nice twinkle bells, then there comes a little bit agressivity and suspense in the song with the violins and the low strange bass you used, that's my favorite instrument of this song.
Then the drums are done good but the rhythm is a bit too much switching at the intro, i like the way you used all the other instruments through the other parts of the song and mood changes quite a bit everytime in this song.
This is a great song, and i can really see it used in a Flash submission, this almost reminds me of the kind of songs ParagonX9 makes.
I don't give only 10's and a 5/5 often.
Keep it up, you are a talented music artist!

There are a few things I've fixed in a new version that is for my own personal listening pleasure.
1: I fixed the mastering on the drums/switched to higher quality *non-stock* samples.
2: I made the bass more abrasive and violent sounding, making it stand out more in the mix.
3: Transitions that were rough are now smoother than a baby's ass.
And... it's all flattering and all, but I hate being compared to Paragon :(
Thanks for the review.

I like those bells you used, and the soft and nice synths.
Enough variety, and the harp is really nice too.
I haven't played Final Fantasy though so i can't say if this sounds exactly like the original song from Final Fantasy.
Good work, keep it up.
- Astrono Please, take a listen to my Audio if you'd like :)

Hmm...thought I did a decent job on this audio...oh well...guess I will just have to work harder on the next one...and maybe play around with FL Studio to see what sounds good.
When I actually get the time to go through your audio and write a decent review...I will...until then^^

Well, i can hear the Japanese atmosphere in this piece.
Enough variety and original.
But, it only has melody's although that's a good start you can try to use chords too ;)
- Astrono If you'd like you can take a listen to my Audio :)

Thanks, very appreciated.
Actually I used chords, there's some soft harmonization here;)

I can see why you choosed the title.
This song is really bright and cute in some way, like you have a beautiful romantic dream, or a baby dreaming. :)
I like all those tingle sounds you used, a really interesting song with enough variety in melody's and good instrument choice.
Only thing is that for me, some of your rhythms were a little bit out of balance, but then you fixed that again after a few seconds.
Good song.

The one hat at the beginning was interesting, i liked the machine sounds.
This starts out as a song which will get creepier.
The drumbeat is good, but i think this song is a bit repetitive.
After the first machine sounds the low synths come in.
I can see the title of this song and when the low synths come in you start with another drumloop.
This song was ok, but it needs some work on the repetitive parts though.
Try to add some more variety to your next songs.

Look, now it gets better!
The voice at the intro was the best thing for this, i guess you tried to make a song for an airplane because if this was a, look at the sky song the voice wouldn't really fit it.
I really like the synths you put in this, and the voice is pretty good too.
The drumloop is good too and fits this song, i like the bleep sounds.
Good work, but i say again, try to work on the rhythms.

"Good melody's, other things need a lot of work"
This gets a bit boring, since you repeat the same melody too much.
Although it's a loop you can at least try to use two or three different melody's which sound good with eachother, and i hear pre-sets in this one again.
Good thing is the melody again, i really like the melody's you mixed through eachother in this one, but still, instruments.
Drums are good.

I thought it sounded amazing at the time, and I was oblivious to the fact its too short. I didn't know I could create my own sounds, and I could use the pattern thing.

Hmm, i don't really like the fact you used pre-sets for this.
But if this is your first little song i can understand it.
The first thing repeats too much, then the voice comes in.
And then the synth, which plays some melody's in too different rhythms, you have some good melody's in mind but in this song, (i still have to listen to your others) you have too much problems with making the good rhythms.
Needs work, but i heard worse things.

This song is really creepy and strange but beautiful too.
I really love those robot sounds in this song, and the other mechanic sounds.
With the main instrument, which gives a kind of feeling like you are somewhere else, and the beat adds more strangeness to this song.
A brilliant piece, keep it up and make more like this.

The intro started really calming.
With a good beat through it, and some nice background sounds, the water sounds were a good thing that you added to this song.
It keeps on like this for a long time, the relaxing and calming part.
And then after a while the pad comes in, which plays some great melody's which i love!
Indeed, it reminds me of space, the mysterious feeling.
As others said, this sounds much better than your other songs.
Try to make more songs with this NASA space expeditions feeling.
