Piano techniques are good. Song could've benefited from simple panning. Why pan only one instrument if the rest are centered? Samples are of good quality, and well matched. Also, song could use an estra movement (mood change). This avoids the feeling of redundancy.

A nice song. I really like the piano in this track, but the melody line that lies over it is missing something. I think the main problem is that it repeats too many notes. Also I think that after pos. 0f the song is getting a bit boring because it more or less repeats the same lines until its end. Some different melodies (and sounds) or even completely new elements would have been a lot better. The ending would definitely have needed some more work, it sounds a bit rough. The sample set is nothing special, but it does its job (I wouldn't expect spectacularly new and unique sounds in a song like this). Not an especially original song but really not a bad one either.

It takes too much time to start; the piano playing arpeggios can't stand all that time with so little background. The bass seems out of place, it's too loud and goes out of the background to become the main instrument. Themes aren't interesting. At least the structure has some sense. Technically it's too simple, a song is more than just put notes. But this is something that times brings to every tracker. It's also too long.

the bass sounds false; some samples would need some finetune fixes; yep, it sounds really false! but the song is interesting anyway, and its composer had some great ideas; he just needs to increase its technique.

The baseline is outta whack. The piano is very repetative. You have the same drum beat throughout the song. The lead is very weak.
