[Deserted Island III - Crash Landing]

Man, it's been really cool listening to your sound evolve over the years! I really liked the tonal shift around the 3 minute mark. Every time I hear one of your songs I find out about some new VST or technology. Keep it up!

Daru925 responds:

Hello, long time no see^^
Really? Thank you very much then.
To hear such kind comment is worth a thousand plays.
All the best to you!

Awesome! Calming and happy. It's almost a bit repetitive but I think there's enough variation that it works. Or maybe it's not repetitive at all and I'm just listening to it too much.

akiTONE responds:

Haha, I've found my music tends to fall into either category.

If people are listening to my music on repeat until they get sick of it, it means they're actually listening to the whole thing, and it makes me weirdly happy.

Pretty catchy, makes me think of some cyberspace battle in a Japanese game.

akiTONE responds:

That's because it IS from a Japanese game about cyberspace battles, lol.

It's WIP arrange of "NET BATTLE" from Battle Network RockMan.EXE.

[Cold Fog]

Nice! I think it captures the general black metal essence very well! The primary riff was pretty visual and/or darkly contemplative. Possibly Burzum-like but less blurry and entrancing. The sound-quality of the track was also very high in my opinion. Though generally imperfections lend themselves well to the black metal style.

anarchocrusthunk responds:

Thank you. I'm glad you think it has some black metal essence. Black metal is something I have started to come around to in the past year or so.

[Fric-Frac]

Wow! I really love this. From the early withering bass that later gains an acid sort of quality to the pick-scrape-like and melodious voice later on. Very nice! It stayed interesting for sure. Unfortunately, I have no legitimate criticisms...

Daru925 responds:

Hey thanks, glad you liked it.
I use Phoscyon, a software emulating the TB-303, for the acid touch.
