FOR ME, Ritual and Rush are by far the best in this album. I wish that you get better - the reset has potential, but sounds a little too generic, repeats 1 sound again and again, which becomes boring, even SO irritating (such as Nectar or March). If you wish to repeat, then at least do what you did at end of March or Crypt Spotify preview - familiar, but different. And regarding still in progress - Extinction, Elektron, Subtle and Bell are the best, the rest could be better. If you wish to nail Spotify (or any platform), then you must make VERY engaging beginning, not monotone, just picking up at beginning. Also positioning in album is VERY important - position the best songs at beginning (the best) or end (2nd best). I hope that this is helpful and if you wish, I can give you extra feedback.
Thanks for your extended critique! It's tight line between over-adapting to what people want to hear (say, on Spotify) and what you want to hear yourself as creator / what you actually want to create. It comes down to serving the masses vs. targeting a specialist niche. Both are dissatisfying in their own way, lol. It's either deviating from your actual personal way of expression or generating low success in terms of click count. Anyway, your words are helpful, thank you. I'm glad you've listened to the new ones also and that you like a couple of them! I will release them as singles on Spotify over the next year piece by piece when they're ready.
