Released Mods / [TFTD][WIP] Orchestra of the Deep v0.5.0 – The TFTD Philharmoniker

Orchestra of the Deep
The definitive lore-friendly soundtrack remake for TFTD

This is a remake of the TFTD soundtrack. It is my imagination of how the game would have sounded like had it been made today and by the same people. It is NOT a simple MIDI transposition: every track has been re-orchestrated, re-arranged, and expanded—but will always stay faithful to the originals. Think of about when you were a kid, looking at Doom's pixely graphics, and seeing glorious hi-def gore instead.

What feedback do I need?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I am looking for comments on sound levels, fastidious bits that don't sound well on your audio system, and whether things fits with the general atmosphere of your play-through. I am not looking for bug reports or new ideas just yet, that will come in the future.
