The main synth in Storm of Fine Weather isn't a particularly pleasant one to listen to tbh. It's pretty loud and overbearing in the mix. The actual composition is ok I guess. I like the e-guitar solo in the middle. Overall, it's not a great example of good fusion, but it has some good elements.

Seashore War is awesome. It utilizes a pretty basic chord progression throughout, but the way the music evolves around it is quite impressive. Great atmosphere, good percussion, nice choice to put the main melody (which is a really good melody btw) as an acoustic guitar. Probably my favorite song from Tropical Freeze in general. Incredibly easy vote for this one.

Nocturne is definitely a trip. I definitely like this more than most DnB songs. The ambient effects in the background do a lot of work to create an ideal atmosphere for the sax. Pretty minimalistic melody, but still quite enjoyable. The chaos around the 6 minute mark is certainly something, though it's not bad. Solid song, though I think it is a bit long relative to what it does at 8 and a half minutes.

Sogno di Volare is a favorite of mine. Christopher Tin is a master orchestrator, and that's shown to its full effect here. Excellent string writing, fantastic brass to back it up, and the choir does a great job with the melody. Still unsure whether I like this or Baba Yetu more, but they're both fantastic songs. As solid as Nocturne is, it's hard to top Sogno.

Into the Woods! has such a great mix and instrumentation. The consistent switching between primary instruments throughout keeps me very interested in this one. The percussion is really well-done and I really like the mini piano glissando at 1:39. Great song.

Cool synths to start out in LIN NE KRO NE. Neat production, although I wish there were more of a melody here, and I'm not a huge fan of the whispered vocals either. Solid song, but not good enough to beat Into the Woods!

Pretty strong day today except for Storm.
