Well now. I knocked this together last night and I'm happy with the results. Ditching the hodgepodge of styles I was learning the ropes through in favour of a clean, moody sound:

Man that 80's video game synth that's floating along from the 15 second mark to the 5 minute mark totally killed it unfortunately. It only got dark minimal at the 5 minute mark and then unfortunately the tune tapered off again to fade out. Another minute or so added to The Dark Progression would have actually helped to be honest. To bring it further on, if that makes sense?
There's a talent in you for this alright and in fairness, it's not easy, or everyone would be at it.
You're getting there though, and can I ask? Could you remake the tune minus that floating synth?
Because there's a good track there that just needs tweaking. Well done.....
Cheers biy .

I know what you mean about the synth. It's probably too cinematic for something of this nature, and probably a bit high in the mix. Takes this kinda feedback to realise though!

Even the same melody but with a  more low key sound would probably work. Might have another go at it...

Sounds cool man. I like the cinematic feel to it, kinda prefer that to a more "standard" song when it comes to this kinda stuff.

Here's Flucturion 2.0 - Phex..... A Russian producer/DJ.....

He has used a synth loop here but it's got more a church/bombastic type feel to it.
It's basically a progressive track but he's managed to produce a nice dark undertone to the track. And even though he's used plenty of glitter throughout the song, the darkness of the synth adds to the brooding mood.

Of course you could be making this music just for yourself and whatever suits your own musical taste buds. I was just reacting to the dark minimal tag you'd given The Dark Progression...

If I may add too, but if you're going to release something in this vein further down the pipeline.
I recommend that you release an EP of 4 or 5 tracks and hone all your ideas into that 30 or so minutes of music. Much better that way, I think.
Looking forward to hearing more man....

A bit of a commercial track this one, but what a track. Infectious!
