Your song has several flaws, I would mention the most noticable ones... Mono sound. You simply forgot to use stereo panning. Why? You used the same drum sequence over the whole song. Why? Playing a melody with that synth bass was not a good idea in patterns 9 and 10. The lead instrument is pretty out of tune in the pattern 11 when played high notes... The ending is not an ending. Don't fade out Your tunes, no one likes it. Also there are some incorrectly looped samples. Due to these troubles I have to reduce Your score...

That bass-line is annoying. Your modulations are quite good. The rythm is boring. Pattern 7 channels 5 & 6 is not good, 'overuse' of the 'G' effect. Your leads ain't good. Close off the channels you don't use. Your samples are bad. Technique: fair. Form - fair.

The samples are out of tune. The song is very boring, a piece of this genre relies more on well crafted drums with nice breaks. I only saw one drum break, and the beat is uninspiring. There is no use of panning.

On the whole, a very good song. I enjoyed the intro effect and the subsequent buildup to the main phrase of the song. The tune flows very well, with nice transitions throughout. I like the effect that fades in and out (particularly in the last half of the song), although towards the end it was getting a bit old. THr rhythm and style of the song was consistent and well matched. Overall a very good song for a rookie!

A nice effort - the beginning riff reminds me of some of my own first tunes! I dont see any point in using channels 30-32 for the opening effect. Excellent work on sample 6 with the sweep effect, however it should fade out rather than stop abruptly when the tune starts in order 4. Pattern 4 is good with the coming together of all the individual parts. The percussion is okay but could also use some work. The song becomes a little lost for a while at order 9, I thought. The samples are good and the technique shows potential - keep tracking!

This song maybe has some nice thoughts but they don't seem to reach me. Nothing to say about the samples except from that they're very familiar and old. Some of them sounds like they come from the ST-01 disks you had ten years ago. This is ofcourse a disappointment but I also have to understand the limitations of sampling some people have. This idea is weak and follows the song to the end. The only score I can give 25, as this song is niether melodical nor thought through.

Nice song, catchy beginning. I liked the whole song and did not have any problems with it. It might have been slightly repetitive, but nothing that distracted from the song too much. The rating I gave reflects my enjoyment. Even though I could not find any problems with the song, I did not find it as enjoyable as other songs. The rating of 75 means this is Good Music, and this song is definitely good music.
