A quite simple dance-techno tune with little progression. The overall mood of the song was quite nice for the first minute, but then it got boring. The "lead effect" (instrument 19) starting from order 20 does not work at all and it's also the only clear flaw in this song apart from the general simpleness and lack of changes. The bass-acid base riff is nice but just too repetitive (gets boooring). Sample quality could have been a little better, but it's almost ok.

Perhaps this song reflects what my pentium thinks is i press ctrl+alt+del, but is does not reflect what i expect for a mc6 tune. Until pattern 0x14 the song consists of some dark techno style, but then a high string appears which is totally detuned and does not add something. The song consists of just one pattern which is repeated throughout the time and various channels are muted and unmuted. This is definatively not enogh for a good entry in a competition.

Somekind of techno,i presume? I find this very boring,with little variation on the main melody. Sometimes a monotonous song is very effective,but that is rare. Here i just react on how out of place the extra stuff sounds,like in order #20.Maybe it's just me who don't understand this kind of music? Is it necessary to have so many different "flavours" of the first sample? With all the channels used for it (at the same time) it's really hard to hear the difference anyway. At least i've never heard these samples anywhere else,so i guess it's extra points for that. The percussion is very boring. Even in a techno song it can be made interesting. I'm sorry,but this is not my cup of tea.

Up tempo 909. I kinda like it, it's simple and unfortunatly not very new. It's a bit repetitive too, you gotta vary your stuff a little.

To ambient, nothing happens with the lead at all completly reptitive. Strings are way out of tune. Lack of good panning, effects, volume, etc.. No originality what so ever. ..

Is this a song? I'm not sure but i'll give you the benefit of the doubt. 1 pattern repeated 40 times is not my definition anyway. The samples were horrid and there was no discerable melody. It sounded horribly out of tune. Next time you submit a song spend some time on it. Thank you. Good luck on your next song!
