hey! nice soundscapes!

Oblivion does sound the most complete and mature of the 3. Nice crescendo that builds up tension, which is systematicly released in the second part of the song. In my opinion, the crescendo may be even more dramatic, for example: by replacing the standard drum sounds by more industrial sounds, a sledgehamer slamming on an anvil as HiHat, etc. Let it start at the beginning of the song quite far in the background and let it come closer and closer as the tension builds up, to finally let it scream and go in overdrive at the peak. Let it peak for a few seconds, throw open all valves and release the pressure with that beautiful piano outro...
If Oblivion would be the demo press release, I would buy the CD.

Final Night is a good idea, but the song is right in the middle of deciding which way to go: Wil it go to the more darker side, like Oblivion, or should it stay with the more poppy synth feel? Either way has great potential.
Let it lay aside for a while, pick it up again when you have new ideas for it. The song has good ideas, but still needs to ripe a bit more.

Yth: First of all: I like the end! At first it feels a bit abrubt, but then you know it just is. Nice... I like the simplicity of just the harmonics and the repeating in this song, but on the other side are they maybe a bit too flat to just stand on their own... I think this song has to be heared in the context of the other songs. If you just let it hear at someone who never heard the 2 other songs, it fails to bring it's content. On the other hand, if you are familiar with your style, yth really can stand it's man.

I hope to hear more soon!
great work!

The arm with the sword rose up as if newly stretched aloft, and round the figure blew the free winds of heaven.”
