There were no mistakes, no incomplete ideas. It wasn’t too loud or too soft or too derivative. For one magic hour, the perfectly realized music floats in space, inviting listeners to admire it from the outside and then dance within it.

i would've made some songs shorter but overall the progression and the genre switch-up were super satisfying, incredible vibe
seria BEM melhor se não fosse tão longo quanto é, se fosse uns 20, 30 minutos seria perfeito mas mesmo assim ficou muito bom do jeito que ta. eu acho que isso aqui cairia muito bem como ost de um jogo, é bem repetitivo mas mesmo assim consegue ser bem interessante e é até que divertido escutar. é como se fosse a trilha sonora do xadrez...
decent electronic track but it got VERY boring after around track 4. there was nothing crazy that happened it was just similar sounding noises for almost an hour
"E2-E4 is still one of my favourite pieces, maybe my most influential one...E2-E4 is a very flexible composition, which can be performed in various ways, simply a very good piece of music."
