The slides before changing notes is very irritating (example: channels 3 and 11 of pattern 14). There's also that electronic thing repeated over the whole song which you quickly get tired of (example: pattern 3, channel 9). Dance beats aren't my favourite, but I think it goes well enough with the module. The ending wasn't super good, but it wasn't bad. Overall, it's a nice module, but still needs some work.

Typical contrapuntal opening between two synths-- and a bassline following it too stiffly, something very common in beginner tunes (too much cut+paste+transpose going on).. the piano sound is hardly appropriate for those riffy lines and the sound itself is pretty awful.. (i think its a piano sound anyway..) The second part fits together a bit better.. it's sort of a second part anyway. I think maybe it sounds more appropriate because that piano sound is gone and it sort of ruins whatever else is going on when it comes in. The pulses of this tune are way too strict, and this type of tune doesnt call for that either so it doesnt make much sense to make it so linear and boxy sounding and flat and predictable etc.. There's also a number of modulations, transpositions which usually come when you can't think of anything else to add to a song, so you repeat the last part transposed up or down a bit.. and unfortunately none of them really work very well.

Heh, this is getting bad, I predicted the name of the track before I saw the full name, by only seeing the gmlf abbreviation :) Btw, you saved the track with Mono setting in the prefs, I guess by accident since you use panpos in the track. Nice clean samples if a little bit cheesy, good tracking in most parts. The only real flaw in the song is lack of meat, it feels awfully flat. Then again, it doesn't use any real bass in the track so it's no real wonder. This track still needs some working on, and it definitely needs more bass so it won't feel as limply flat like it is right now.

You have set mono-mode for this module, though you defined panning settings... The chord grid is not original at all, many (commercial) song used this. Your song is very repetitive. Arpeggios end up being boring. The general sound is clean, but does not save the style poverty of the track.

Not bad at all. Nice samples. this a very creative work. Try to introduce some new themes every now and then, the whole song sounds pertty much the same. Use volume changes to bring some things out and leaves others low.
