"Pluto" starts distant and cold with sparse ambient tones, "Jupiter" swells into something massive with deep bass and swirling pads, and "Earth" lands on this warm, grounded melody that feels like home after all the void.
"Black Hole" does exactly what you think. Dense, gravitational, pulling everything inward. The progression from outer planets to inner planets gives the whole album a natural arc. Each track slightly warmer, slightly brighter than the last.
If you like synth-driven space games and soundtracks you can fall asleep to without feeling like you're wasting them, Waveform nails it.
