Overall, the piece has a cool theme/idea but there's really no development whatsoever. I like the simple riff at the beginning but the tune really doesn't do much else. It's basically one riff with added layers.. I didnt even notice any panning and if there was any, it certainly wasnt enough to add flare to the piece.. I did enjoy the drum samples but they got old pretty quickly and I wouldve preferred a harsh hit/snare with the hard-hitting bass drums.. nice work on creating a riff, now develop and evolve with it.. go nuts :)

This one didn't appeal to me musically. -.- Repetitious. 0x20 0x0f 0x21... Itreally didn't go anywhere with the melody. Bad mood. Aweful song I usually hear at the the 'hornet archive' (actually : always).

Bleh. Not a badly tracked tune, but it sure is depressing and dulls the senses. You need to go out more and enjoy life :P

*File Specs* [Additional vote] ... [Filename]m6r-dark.xm [Title]Darkness of years [General comment]Drum 'n' Base.. nice simple concept... you hardly need much for drum and base... i expected some nice Sfx arrangements as extra details.. you know you can do a lot more and it only costs a few more tracks, playing with super-finetune commands for phasing effects, adding reverbal effects to percussion and vocal sfx (hey! no vocal sfx in your song!)... do you have new fresh ideas extra now? Your song is a bit too thin, i should say that the current status of your song is a good base to add one or more of my suggestions or other ideas to it. Arrange your stereo mixing and then re-release it.

The intro was admittedly boring, and the fact that we hear the same string line for the whole song really irritated me. It is obvious that you listen to drum and bass cos your drum ideas were good, but again, boring. Variation is a good thing, which i think you need to seriously work on. Also some of the bass line was out of tune, when you think something might be out of tune, put it an octave or two higher (especially with bass samples) to get the pitch right. Overall the song was quite boring, nice drum ideas, but it really never got anywhere.
