Another techno tune which is lacking in creativity. The bass drones on and on. There is no break in the beat. Techno needs to have something which makes it interesting to listen to otherwise the listener gets the itch to press fast forwards. If the tune is going to be repetitive as such, perhaps cut it down to 2 minutes at the most! Patterns 16, 17 have a bad clash of bass and melody. The panning is little more than mono which adds to the drone.

I have half of the samples used in this song on my hard drive. They are in E:\ST3\I\RIPPED since 1994. When you do rip, please at least rip quality ! It's really brave (and I think it's quite cool) to enter a goa tune in MC. The song certainly has its qualities. The author fit the style well, although some of the goa melodies ended up more random than psychedelic. The bass drum is not really suitable, it should have been a more mellow one with a sharper attack. Or you could have made the song go faster. Panning is virtual (Not really there =). The song should kick in a disco.

I found that this track was very repetitve and lacked any distinct melody. Apart from that, the samples were well chosen, it had nice powerful bass which is great for this style of music and the tempo was well suited too.

It's very,very average music. Maybe it has a good idea, but i can't find it. That's why it looks like a standart music of such type. Sorry, but noone is perfect. And I too. Maybe that's why so low score.

This song COULD have been an okay ambient tune, or at least some sort of mellow song, but instead it changed too suddenly into an attempt at (I honestly don't know which) either dance or maybe some sort of techo (??). The over-done tune which has been done far too often which followed the 7th pattern was somewhat irritating and I would guess took little effort, at least the majority of it. If the drum loop was maybe varied from time to time, and there was more of a tune to go along with it, or was perhaps a little more original, this song would probably be a lot more enjoyable.
