Interesting use of samples. Thought I heard some static on one of them that didn't sound like it should have been there. Reminded me of the the Dr. Who theme song which is neither good nor bad. About a 1:39 into the song I liked the melody that started but would have preferred to see more of this.

The "metallic wind" (channels 18+19) shouldn't be used through the whole module. The kind of bass was too loud (pattern 12 for example). Congratulations for the style, it's very special. However, although the samples and spacing are excellent, I the notes (melodies) would need lots of work. If ever you remix that tune, please release it so I can get it!

Definitely interesting. But strange. And weird. Strange and weird can often be good, but it can be taken too far. When that line is crossed a song can go from cool to just plain annoying. I think this song crossed that line. Often it just seems like noise with a beat. But I do give it points for originality.

It sounds with no order and the instruments are squashed. The samples have a good quality individualy, but all them joined distorsionate a lot. It is worst when they have a low frecuency.

Intro melody completely out of time - count the ticks in your volume envelopes if you're going to use them as you've done, something that is remarkably easy in Impulse Tracker. Snare drum cut off by the gabber-style bassdrum (use NNA's but don't OVERuse) in the intro section, although you remedy this later on. By order 6 you've confused me totally; we've got a hard beat, an irritating and incoherent mosquito-type ("Spanish Fly") lead, and jazz-style chord stabs. By order 12 it gets better but the tune is still too odd to be labelled (and before you cry out 'Vive L'Experimentale', suffice it to say that you should cover experimental and cross-niche styles only after you've covered defined styles reasonably, and I have a feeling you haven't). Mad drums mid-section out of place, melody uninspired. Sample 09 drowns out the drums totally in the final section and is way overrused - your tune is 275K in size, did you have to go to the extent of playing a REVERSED drumloop just to save space? It just sounds out of context entirely. The comic aspect of the tune isn't enough to make up for its glaring lack of technical ability. Mediocre.
