Very appealing and original style, the strings and accoustic guitar give it a soothing feeling while the drum loop gave it a groovy kind of feel, so well blended together. Well-balanced panning and volume of channels. Well-chosen samples; all samples fit together. Volume slides effectively used. A bit too repetitive, lacking variation.

I liked the guitars, and the percussion as well. But how about a lead? It doesn't have to be a siner, but any melody would've spiced up the song a bit. The ending is a bit abrupt, and would've been better with a more reverbed guitar sample. No serious flaws other than this.

A nice guitar introduction, although it is harmonically totally simple it sounds good. Too bad then that the song does not evolve after the breakbeats anymore. The real idea of the song consists just of pattern 0x15 and the author just inserted the different tracks over time. A plus are the interesting samples and the hand made breakbeat. But for an Intermediate entry this song is only average, therefore

Frankly, I don't know what to make of this tune. It has some good bits that I like, and it's got some bits which drag it down. Overall, I think the problem is that the track just isn't all that interesting to begin with. The tracking itself ain't bad, and the samples are of good quality, it's just the tune itself which is a bit lacking. Shame really.

Very nicely done the samples were good the tune flowed very nicely the song was a perfect score. A few things that I thought were not as impressive was the costent repetion in the song but after a while the song came back into place which was good, it is always improtant to have a good flow in the song otherwise what is a song its nothing its just NOISE.

Judge: Collins ,Chris

The guitar sample is very nice, but the song doesn't have much more going for it. It starts off with a good guitar melody, and goes on with it, until the end of the song. The times when the melody disappears are slow, boring parts of the song. Good background music maybe, but pretty boring.
