[THA YOINKY SPLOINKY]

this is SO SIGMA

Made me laugh lol, but also very groovy. I can imagine a full rap track over this. Nice stuff

LazyKitten21 responds:

I planned to rap over the whole thing but i was having too much fun and got lazy. Thanks as always.

[AhWham / 25 / A100]

Lovely hearing about Wham’s history and philosophy. And Aalasteir is such a natural host; the conversation felt guided very professionally!

Aalasteir responds:

Hello MH4! I'm super happy to see you!

I fully agree! Wham is awesome!

[2023 rejects - gonna cry ?]

These tracks being your "rejects" is so wild dawg; even your scrapped songs go crazy...the little melody at 0:40 adds a lot to this one!

nexketch responds:

bit of trivia i started making this as a BF vs Mettaton FNF track for funsies and that little melody was intended to be for their voices

[2023 rejects - like flora]

YOOO so glad this is finally public! Thank you again for letting me leak this on the FP Blog all those months ago :)

Love the relaxed feel this one has; it's very easy to just vibe to. It really gets you in a "flow" headspace. I also think the mixing and instrumentation, as usual, are awesome.

nexketch responds:

thank u dude :-J

[A Cat's Little Adventure]

Oh man the Yo-Kai Watch is strong with this one; that JRPG tag is no joke! Very relaxing piece that fits a very comfortable vibe while also being catchy. 3/4 was a good decision for time signature; I think it adds a sense of natural curiosity and adventure to the piece that nicely compliments the relaxed instrumentation and composition.

(And I’m incredibly glad to hear you had a good experience on last year’s CiJ album!!)

[Jamuary Song 10]

Ooooooh I love a good simple loop…very effective at selling a very specific vibe; I can easily imagine a conversation in some holiday special over this!

[Jungle Funkin']

This was one of the segments that I did the vocals for myself, and I think it you did perfectly with the requirements for the collab! An instrumental that stands by itself, but that also lends itself to the vocals nicely. Well done!!

xanxoepico responds:

Ay thanks! I think I remember my train of thought being to have a lot of chords to make it easier to pick notes for the vocals so it makes sense it'd lend to vocals 0-)

[Winter Lives Within Me]

Perfectly melancholy, jumping between sounding hopeful and destitute. That feeling of looking for direction is exacerbated by the juxtaposition between the lower vocals and higher vocals; as they jump between each other, it's almost as if two aspects of yourself are finally realigning.

Your signature skills shine through, with your lyricism and passionate solos shining through as the hallmarks of this track. (Seriously, that solo is so sick. Every time I hear a CrossCarrasco solo I'm floored.)

Good to have you back on NG, Cross! So sorry to hear about your loss.

CrossCarrasco responds:

Thanks man! 😊 Always glad to hear from you

[Tankmas Audio Message Collab]

AhWham was so right about the American South…I’m in Louisiana and it was like 30-something yesterday and it’s in the 70’s today…

Anyways LOL. Loved this collab. Very nice and sweet messages from everyone. Merry Tankmas guys!

[Drizzle]

Love how happy and light this feels (it’s def helping to pick me up after a long day rofl). It’s a long track but it doesn’t overstay its welcome. It also loops very well. Only thing missing IMO is a strong melodic through line to really tie it all together; everything else is on point here. Awesome work on this one! Reminds me a lot of Nintendo’s digital store musics.
