Nice beginning, your mixing and technique are very refined. The solo works well, although the style is a little overused. interesting background noises. You keep the repetetion low, which is a good thing. The drum line could have changed, though. Nice ending, as well. Overall the song shows great potential and decent execution. Great Job!

I hope not all songs in this division sound as good as this one or I will have too much problems to get into the second round... :-) It's a very solid entry, with excelent background. The beginning seems specially brilliant. The samples sounds fine, buy maybe the piano one could have been even better. Is this piano the main flaw, because it doesn't play any interesting theme. The song doesn't have a melody you can remember a few minutes after hearing it. The structure of the song is not very clear, but the technique in all aspects of the songs is excelent.

Very nice intro, neat links between parts. A very talented tracker... you can see here a 4 star+ tune clearly....:pannings, echos, effects, intruments worked *very* good...the tune flows into your brain and you like it... this one is one of the best intermediate tunes i've heard....

A feeling of solid quality to the song. The development over time is a bit shaky though. Instruments keep being added and taken away, but nothin really happens.

*File Specs* [Additional vote] Inspiration flows and goes [Filename]m6i-stjn.xm [Title]Secret Journey... [General comment]"Wow cool!" where my first thoughts during the first 01:15 minutes... a very great key-progression, hole-in-one striking breaks.... After those 01:15 minutes started to go to an average song, after 02:15 minutes this song started to bore me... get the picture? you created such a big expectation from the listener but you forgot that you bound yourself to terms of song-maintanance, to say this in other words: If you start composing in a kind of progression, continue in that progression, grow in it, go deeper into it, let your mind get more inspiration when being busy. The main beatline was good in overall, your chord environment panning was a bit switching too much, your mains and leads were good. The samples could have been done a bit better, especially in looping, not all loops sounded perfect.
