I don't like your strings in patterns 14-16, channels 21-24 (and used later on), they just don't sound good. The module is quite repetitive, but at least, what it repeated doesn't sound too bad. Variety would still be better though. I also think a more relaxed beat would have improved the module. It's still a good module, so keep up your good work. (And check your caps lock key!

Channels 1,2,3 get a bit annoying at the beginning, but they blend into the background not too bad when more instruments come in. I like the build-up to order 7. The lead sample (starts in order 9) is interesting, maybe a bit harsh. Things are mixed up a bit to keep it interesting, but it could have used a varied theme or two. Seems like more tracks were used than necessary. Overall a decent song, I liked it.

*File Specs* [Additional vote] ... [Filename]m6r-atec.it [Title]Alien Technology [General comment]A firm dance-like song it tends to get boring after a while but your breaks and changing intersections are good enough, it offers variation enough on another dimension. Your melodical aspects are truely getting boring, you could have added more changes in them and added more details to them or new parts into the whole concept.

Good beginning, though it drags on for too long. Panning is quite good, and samples are tuned The lead sample however doesn't really fit very well, it's too harsh for the other sounds in in the tune. The other instrumentation is quite good. Clean samples, and tight drums are the best features in this tune. You need to set down a good chord progression, and work on the melody a bit more. The ending is also good. There are some chords which don't work too well with the tune. My expectations were set high from the beginning, but were let down in the main section.

mm.. I approve. I like it. nice acid-trip kind of music. it reminds me of plastikman. I really like it. nice samples. really creative. one of the best I've heard. try to play around with panning and volume a little more.. it'll make effects neater, let certain melodies come out more... and the paninng can trip ytou out.. but don't over do it!nice work.

cut copy and paste techno - lengthy - too repetitive
