Strange jumpy song this one. While it's technically well trackets Instrument 11 just aimlessly wonders about throught most of the song, a little irritating. I likes Pattersn 10-13 and 26-29 most. The pannings on Instrument 9 should be centered more closely. Also there is not a wide range of frequency's played, this tends to make a 'fuller' sounding song, just a note.

Wow, great piece. I think it'll make round 2 :). What can I say? Hmm. Ok the slap bass sounds a little too cutt off in the beginning, but I don't know if it's style or not. The synth lead sing, great instrument f-x. The high strings add more juice later on. A down part to this piece is it needs a ending. Everything else is smooth and flowing. Great job.

The opening had a nice progression to it, building in each instrument. My first question though, is does EVERY note in your first melody have to have some kinda porta effect to it? You might wanna take some of them out. It shows you have tracking skill, but it just doesn't make for a nice melody. The next section is nice. An observation is that the bass line and the chord hits on every quarter note don't seem to be in time. You might want to move some of those hits a half-beat up in order to keep with the flow of the base line, and give it that more swingy-randomness feel. The total time change doesn't work too well, because the listener is hit with it too quick, and by the time he gets used to it, it changes back to the normal time signature. The tom-tom solo doesn't sound quite right because you're still in the swing tempo - you may want to consider taking out the swing for some of those hits, because they don't sound on the beat at all. There needs to be a noticable ending, not just an ending hit. Lead up to it for a pattern. I did like this song, however, and with a little work it could do really well.

Wow! Suprized to find something like this in the intermediate section. Sample 11 has some amazing sequences in the song as instrument 12. Successfully jazzy. Samples are veteran quality (even when they were made to sound chippy in some parts of the tune). You clearly have control over the tracker. I love this freeflowing style of music. It took me through all the variations, never loosing my interest. Top job.

Well not many problems here.. except that I have heard pertty much this exact song a million times and I kinda sick of it... try to be a little more creative. with samples and style. bUt you DID do a good job with it, so I'll give you credit for that. just try to be more unique.
