Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The way I interpreted the theme is reimagining places in the world of the game and visualizing those place as abandoned/ forgotten. Each track take you through forgotten places in the world of EnMA. From deep within a lush forest with birds chirping around, towards a hidden/forgotten village, to a lost underwater society, a forgotten castle covered by snow, a forgotten tribe within a volcano, a mysterious manor, and a forgotten loved one.

I have no notes, absolutely beautiful vibes and melodic decisions throughout the whole OST! Brilliant job!
A Strange Place To Be:
I liked this one, wow! I loved your chord progressions throughout! One thing I would suggest would be to introduce a common theme, because it feels like the synth pluck melody was taking a solo the entire time. Idk, maybe just me. Really nice!
Ballad of the Leaf Cranes:
This captured such an intriguing vibe, one that reminded me to a couple scenes from "My Neighbor Totoro". It's got such a captivating playfulness to it! One thing I might suggest would be to bring it back to the main melody, because most of the piece spends more time building up than in the actual main sections. Other than that, I am amazed at how well you were able to make this piece sound! After looking back on this album, I wish that you used the instruments for other tracks, but teaXP_music already talked about that and I don't wanna tread on old ground.
Deep Within the Abyss:
The way you structured your chord progressions and how they flow into the next fits the "abyssal" theme of sinking and sinking... deeper and deeper... and deeper... Loved it!
Was the Castle of the Ice Princess:
Very atmospheric and melancholic. One thing I found is that at some places in the piece, the chord progressions and the melody don't line up just right, leading to a dissonant jumble of sound. One example would be at 0:29. That's the only spot that threw me off. The second half is my favorite!
Engsapanga:
Not sure what this track means exactly - tried looking it up, but it might be related to a forest or a tribe, considering the incredible instrumentation of this track. I wish there was a second B section because it feels like the same thing repeated over and over again. Really nice vibe though. I'm loving this one!
Prometheus:
I love the romantic-classical feeling of this piece. I can't put a finger on what composer it sounds like, but it's very familiar in style. Incredibly well composed piece! This one is my favorite so far!
I'm Glad you Remembered:
Your usage of the theme from "A Strange Place to Be" is great and is a nice callback to the intro of this wonderful album! The sound selection is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you dVIN*CE for this incredible submission!
First of all, congratulations for writing 19mins and 19secs of music in such a short amount of time! My favorite thing about your album is the chord progressions you use and the variety of moods in the different tracks. If i have one comment, it would be to have a more consistent instrumentation throughout the album. For example, "Ballad of the Leaf Cranes" has strings, but there isn't much use of strings in the other songs so it sounds different (because it is orchestral, whereas the others are more electronic/ethnic/ambient).
