Yeah, a funny piece. Your samples are cool, of course I played them separately after listening to the whole song. I've found some roland TR samples as well as pizzicato strings and orchestra hits! :) But You used them well, so I did not notice when listening at first time just when I was seeking for them... Maybe You figured out, that speed 6 and tempo 125 are not enough for such a techno-like tune, mainly the drum sequence needs more space for the variations and that's better when You have some free rows for the additional effects when needed. The main problem with Your tune is that it's damn repetitive, You made a good copy-paste job. There is more action after the order 20, but there are also too many similar patterns :) So next time more variability, please! And don't use unballanced side panning 00 and FF, very annoying when listening on headphone.

Well done. Not fantastic, but quite nice. You know how to use the tracker, you pick appropriate samples, and you've got a hold on composition and flow. On the bad side, the opening was kind of generic. The fade in pattern 0x6 was similarly lame, and in 0x11 you've got a drum creshendo--something I always hate to hear. But most noticable was the sample quality. It's too bad you couldn't push some or all of these samples to 16-bit, because this song was really being bitten by the 8-bit bug... The lead-ish samples in pattern 0xA were the first and most noticable samples to be hit by this, and it was also quite hissy at the fadeout at the end of the song. But, that aside, there are few weak points. Sample choice, for example, was generally good--I really like the bass that you start using in pattern 0x7, and the scream and glass smash work very well in the creschendo (though you could loose the cheesy laughter). I especially like the bubbly feel around pattern 0x14 and onward... It fits with the rest of the song, and is... well... just nice. :) I wish you had done more with that modulation in pattern 0x4, though! It was quite tasty. :) Oh, and I like your title, too. ;)

Your samples are good. To clear sections in the tune, you need to mix them a little better. You could have done a better job with the rythm in the 2.nd section, and you should put a keychange in there. The third sectrion are a little boring. Formscore: low. Technique: OK.

The song present a skilled musician, from technique point of view. And the idea beyond the song is not bad, but the orders from 10 to 20 are really disturbing, and hide the real potentiality of this song. The immediate change from echoed ambient music to plain square-wave sound shocks the listener. The quality of samples is good.

I quite liked this tune. Some of the samples used sounded really crisp and clean compared to some of the other tunes I have rated so far. The only thing I can think of that I didn't like about the song was the use of some of the vocal samples, it started to remind me of 80's rap...ewww. Apart from that, cool!

A cool tune, I liked just about everything about it. Although the leads were repeated a lot I thought they were catchy enough that I didn't mind. I didn't care for the use of the voice (laughter) samples much, seemed kind of hokey. Tracked very well.

The first section of the song was interesting for the first few patterns, but then it got a little old. I wished the second segment came in a little earlier. I like most of the vocal samples in the second segment but the screaming was a little loud, and the sped up laughing could have been less frequent. Most of the transitions fit well in the piece. The ending was a little sudden, I didn't like how it ended, I expected more lead or something to finish it off, but everything just cut, and that bothered me a little. The percussion was a strong point in this song, it varied a lot, and that made the song more interesting. All in all, this piece was good, but it could have been loads better.
