When I listened the smooth intro, I noticed that You used 7 channels. I thought it's gonna be an old school tune, but You surprised me, this tune is probably one of those better ones in Your division. Technically well done, adequate stereo panning, good rythm, NNA's used well, good breakups. The melody is the weakest part of the tune, and You know it too. This melody is, sorry, but a bit dull, empty, and that lead instrument doesn't fit with the other stuff together. Anyway, your samples are good, clean. Just don't forget to minimize them after setting the correct loops... as it happened to the bass sample - not a critical flaw, but when you need some more samples and need to stay below the size limit... OK. This wasn't a bad tune at all, You know what to do better the next time.

Good use of NNA. A more reverbered bassdrum and snare would have helped in this kind of song. Timing is capturing, but the lead samples are disturbing, and tend to be too aggressive to the listener. The song comes with a good set of samples.

This song is not bad, but also not good at all. It doesn't contain any real variety, nor any innovation in melodic, harmonic or rhythmic aspects, it just passes by without showing any really interesting side to the listener. In fact, the rhythm sounds like a cheap yamaha keyboard with some fill-ins, the chords are kinda boring and the melody just shows the lack of compositional ideas, going here and there without any real start or end. So, this is one of the tunes which are simply not necessary.

I was suprised of the quality of this tune for a rookie. It has a catchy melody with those chimes in the background. The tempo suited the melody well and the piece flowed perfectly. This was my pick out of all the rookie tunes I rated.

Not bad begin (throughtout 0-7 orders), but I think that sometimes a bass on chan.4 is very loud. Don't forget that it's only my opinion, maybe someone will tell other. Ok, end & begin between the 15-19(20) orders is pretty good. It make me remember time before (Nostalgia). Well, what about tune as one part? Enjoyable tune.

I thought this was a fairly pleasant song. The progression and the way it was expressed with the bass was fairly catchy and the lead was well-done. However, I did find the bass and percussion to be a bit mechanical and the sound of the lead is kind of cliche. Good tune overall though!
