Hot damn, quite a lot of tracks here. Props for churning out so much in a 48 hour period.
Luftsoldat has some cool "infinitely descending" kind of progression. The piano helps to guide the listener through this and provide a reference point to where we are. Percussion kicking in half-way was interesting - a lot of sound design going on to provide some rather interesting textures to accompany the other instruments.
Command Room's progression reminds me of something I'd hear in classical music. Granted this tends to not apply to the stripped back, percussion-focused areas of the track, but as a whole that was a cool comparison I didn't expect to draw. Voicings here are interesting throughout; very mysterious and kind of curious. Somewhat reminiscent of something from Cult of the Lamb.
The heavy reverberation on the percussion in One Man Army is an interesting choice but it immediately stands out. Adds this kind of uncertain, blurred context to the track. When it ends up dropping out and the melodies come to the forefront, clean in the mix, it creates a rather cool contrast. Utilizing the melodies from the previous track in this one is some neat motif work.
Absolutely love the choice of patches and voicings in Airship Takedown. Can't put my finger on it, but it just captures that airship vibe so well. Loosely reminds me of something I'd hear in Flying Battery Zone or something like that. Laden with tension that never quite resolves, leading from the sky straight down to the ground.
And speaking of, Tanks and Footmen feels more appropriately "grounded" (pun.. semi-intended, lmao). Sombre vibes to this one; said tension from before hasn't resolved but has modulated into something entirely different this time around. Percussion is kept simple in this, affording other instruments opportunities to do a little more.
Final Front having a more drum-n-bass breakbeat kind of vibe is really cool. Some heavy compression going on and creating some neat movement in the stereo-field, further amplified by the panning synth arpeggios that come after it. This track very much feels like a countdown of sorts, so it makes it especially befitting of the title.
Finally, Unsavory Bliss comes as a surprise - not quite the release to all of that built up tension I was expecting. I absolutely adore the voicings and patches in this - having everything wash in and out like that really gives it a pensive edge. I could listen to this one time and time again - I love ambient stuff like this. Gradually layering over and over so that by the end there is some real ear candy washing around the place.
Kudos on getting all of this done in time - there are a lot of varied tracks here. Best of luck!
