I'm still trying to figure out what style this tune is supposed to be. Starting from the beginning it seems to be an attempt at gabber, then at order 4 it moves to something like orchestral, at order 6 it get slushy with the gabber feel again, at 11 the drums have some kind of solo and then at 28 it turns into something polka-ish. The vocal samples really have to go on this one, if this was an attempt at some kind of trance/techno it failed miserably. The bass sample in this is horrible, and yes, I played this piece out of three different sets of speakers. The panning was only used for effect about 2% of the time, the rest, there was no panning whatsoever used. Fadeout nna's, yes there were some. Really, this song needs a complete overhaul with better samples and a somewhat better idea of where it wants to go.

Almost definitely this composer’s first song.

Low skill drum and bass. The voice samples get old very very fast. The shifts in the bass-type thingy at the beginning are off and sound wrong to the ear. The percussion isn't bad but it's pretty boring.

Originality - Very original. Sounds less melodic than just a definate style with different bits working around each other. Form - Sounds less melodic than just a definate style with different bits working around each other. I think that style is cool, but not seen very often. This continues to surprise and take the listener in different directions throughout the whole song. I don't sense how long I've been listening to it, unlike most other songs. I am continuously asking myself "Is this the end? No, Is this?" Technique - Very good technique. Your tracking abilities make this style of song sound okay. Others not as skilled might not pull it off. Sample Quality - They are in tune and of good quality. Overall - I could definately listen to this for a long time and not realize how long it has been :). Very good job.

cut copy and paste drum and bass attempt - too repetitive
