Nice samples. The execution of this particular style could be better. For instance - your chord progressions, while original, are poorly chosen. the backing chords are way to overpowering - at times you lose the lead. The break with the voices is nicely done, perhaps less vibrato would have done better. The ending would have been better if it weren't a fadeout. And the extra snare at the end seems out of place. otherwise, good.

Good samples, nice feel. It took sometime to grasp the melody, and you could have elaborated it more. Although the chant samples were good, they were somewhat off-key and you could have done without that little 'intermezzo'. Your transitions were otherwise done well. An above mediocre tune.

Ballad like, very nice beginning....Well tracked, but lacks of inspiration. After 30 secs, the tune becomes like a christmas tune. Nice sound (in 32 chnls used, normally). Almost no effects, little panning.

This is a nice solid song, with few glaring problems. However, there is one main fault. Nothing stands out about this song at all. There are no neato effects, there is no clever melody, there is little that distinguishes it from other run of the mill songs out there. Make a main melody stand out, add some unique sounding effects...then the song would be memorable. Also, the pause about 3/4 of the way through breaks up the nice flow of the song and harms the piece overall.

Whoa, my headphones are full of syrup!!! Seriously, this song is excelling in big strings and big emotions. A lot of channels which fill out the "soundscape" with a full and rich sound. The cheap choir is a minus, though. And it is not very original in my opinion.

Nice beginning, very relaxing and the theme of the song is well thought out. The melody introduced at pattern 5 and used throughout the rest of the song seems to stick out. I think that this sample does not belong, it is too different to be in a melodic position at first, and still too different to be a background for the rest. If you are confused as to what instrument I mean, I mean the "da" voice. Nice female voice, but it seems choppy, a little editing could have helped it come out smoother. Also, Some notes with the female voice seem to be a little sour.
