NULL APOPHENIA: The synths in this are pretty cool. And it doesn't have excessive kicks, which is something that I feel this type of music does way too much. The irregular rhythms are intriguing as well. It does feel like it just ends though with nothing to set it up. Good song.

Layer Cake: This sure is a Persona 5 song. Not that that's a bad thing, the bass and keys are great. Very chill and fun song.

Underwater Lv. 1/4: This definitely has the Tunnel soundscape, which I enjoy quite a bit. Just a cool song with cool sounds. Unfortunately, it's up against one of my favorite songs in Bracket A.

Crocus: The instrumental on this is about as good of an instrumental as you can get on a vocal song. The soft, yet dramatic first section. Then the shift to a more upbeat instrumental around the 2 minute mark with the guitar and keys. The guitar solo later on is fantastic, finally followed by the impactful key change. The melody is fantastic, and there's so much detail in the instrumental that every time I listen to it, I appreciate this song more. ROXI CHEN's vocals aren't the best thing ever, perhaps being a bit too airy, but I like them. Love this one a lot.

Luma Pools: Two songs in a row that give me chills every time I listen to them. The intro is absolutely magical in this one. Powerful piano chords accompanied by the vocals and the mallet percussion just make a great combo. The piano and the varying types of mallet percussion throughout this just create a wonderful soundscape. 3:36 to the end is probably my favorite with that buildup and lovely piano runs. Fantastic song. A hypothetical match between this and Crocus would be absolutely painful for me.

Crystal Caves: This is a fun song, highlighted by its underlying ostinato and percussion more than anything. The middle section (0:43-1:42) I feel drags a bit with the melody just playing half notes with little rhythmic variation. Good song, but it doesn't stand a chance against Luma Pools for me.

Two absolutely incredible songs, and the rest were also good, so a very good day for me today.
