Reviewing #Fedivision is daunting, an endeavour that’s taking days, but it’s really satisfying to listen carefully to each song and write something about it.

Took another dig into the playlist and found myself really vibing to
“Synthetic Synchronicity” from @revengeday
This really reminds me of the vibes from soundtrack from "Ghost in the shell: stand alone complex"
“Mauver than a Joopleberry” by Fennifith Media Transmitter @defaultmediatransmitter) and James Fenn (@fennifith)] is a synth instrumental with a nice spacey feel. Really interesting changes and drum sections. I like it. Vote code BKTH
“Invoking Fairies” by Lunafacious (@Mondgesicht) is ethereal, peaceful, and natural sounding music behind sublime vocals. Absolutely beautiful. Vote code LUCA
“Fake News” by Homeostasis (@mxv) brought a big smile to my face, despite the seriousness of the lyrics. I really enjoyed the vocal mixing and layering, and the guitar solo was a great touch. Very cool. Vote code RIGE.
I am always a sucker for a song about science and space. “The Moon Illusion” by FSVO (@fsvo) ticks this box for me. The synths in the last half bring the space vibe home. Vote code SELE
“Postmarked The Stars” by Skylark Duquesne (@SkylarkDuquesne) is an acoustic guitar led pop song with lyrics that speak of hope for the future.
The song “…is a hopeful, acoustic pop song that started out as busker-material, but eventually included synthesizers, drum machines, bass, and a total of three guitars. It's a letter to my wife, Liz.” ~ Skylark Duquesne
Great lyrics. I enjoyed the guitar work too. Vote code ATLA
“Imagine standing on a ledge on a foggy autumn morning. The fog has made everything wet, and there's little ponds and streams everywhere. Everything seems quiet, but you soon notice there's frogs and insects scurrying about.
A shrew dives behind a log and vanishes as you approach. A squirrel in a pine is busy hiding seeds, and you get close enough to startle it. It quickly climbs to the top of the pine.
As you approach a small lake, you suddenly hear something snap. You turn to your left and see a big red deer buck with a majestic antler. It stares at you for a split second before concluding that you're the more dangerous one, and it runs off into the fog.” ~ Pilum::🌞
The song description provided for “Pottane” by Pilum::🌞 (@pilum) gives some insight into the journey this instrumental track takes us on, and paints such a vivid picture, I can see the characters in mind. Great tune. Vote code ANDO
“The Optically Pumped Rubidium Maser” by Rob of Walthamstow (@robcorp55) wins Best Song Name from me!! A chill relaxing guitar piece with some nice key changes. Very enjoyable. Vote code TPSB
Meow! “Diag” by Frederick Yin (@fkfd) is a chill groove with really cool lyrics that speak to procrastination and urbanism. Very nice stereo panning effects. Love the little kitty sound. Awesome song. Vote code DEEZ
“Landwaves” by ToroidalCore (@toroidalcore) is a great little jazzy number. Nice bass groove. Interesting piano phrases. Tasteful drums. Very cool track. Vote code TDRC
“I wrote this song while in a cabin in the forest by the ocean. It was raining and I loved the sound of the rain hitting the roof of the cabin while I was cozy inside with a fire.” ~ Socool
I think “Without You” by Socool (@socool) does a really good job of representing the fall of rain on a roof. The vocals are haunting and suit the lyrics really well. I enjoyed the bendy bass line in this one. Very good song. Vote code EMPW
“Fire Me Straight Into A Falling Star” by Sakti (@Sakti) is a synth dance song with a cool robot vocal. Thumpin bass and ethereal synth melodies. Great vibe. Vote code BELT
“Two Weeks of Spring (Six Months of Summer)” by phog masheeen (@phog_masheeen) is a piece about climate change. Thumping beat, synth stabs, cool vocal samples, all with the spoken voice, foreboding in its tone, laying out the story like it’s a matter of fact. Awesome groove. Vote code HEJT
“Misaligned Aardvarks” by Key 13 (@keefmarshall) made me laugh out loud. The Aardvarks are misaligned. It’s a catastrophe. Brilliant lyrics. Extremely funny. Great music. Amazing song!! Vote code NOTH
