This song isn't good! To be precise, it isn't a song at all. It is just a few ideas that return on themselfs many times without any real connection between them. The ideea of the first pattern is nice - but shoudln't be repeated so many times during the song. The chords that comes later with the bass line doesn't fit the lead and it sounds bad togethter. The lead in order 24 is much better and even fit the chords, but when the first idea joins again in order 28 it ruins the chords and the lead. The solo in order 44 is a little bit "fake" and out of the bit, and then again, why should the first idea return? In order 76 - when all the ideas played together it's a mess and you can't understand what's going on there. summery: This song could be better with a little work and effort. but as it is now i can't give him a good grade. Vel.

This is another tune that starts out wonderfully. The arpeggiated siner and the jungle loop work really well together. But, alas, the _very_ out-of-tune low string sample ruined it. I have to give points for inventiveness, though, I can see what the person was trying to achieve, and it was successful, in part. There's a lot of sections with really good flow, especially for a rookie entry. Samples are pretty good (if a bit cliche). Song also goes on a bit too long without enough dynamic change. Overall, though, pretty neat.

What happened? When I started listening to Moonshore, it sounded fine- a good flute part and drumbeat, all at a nicely fast tempo. What I found was that the drumbeat was ripped, and the flute didn't change throughout the entire song. There were some good parts, about halfway and 3/4 way through the song, but for the most part, it waaas repetitive. The flute part got annoying very quickly, with that and the drums overpowering everything else. I just couldn't give it a higher score.

Successfully trance-like. But, a little boring. Spark interest with more variation.

Moonshore is a well written song. The "meat and potatos" of the song consists of a really sweet flute melody, and a rockin breakbeat. The song does drop the beat, pick up the beat, hang the sound, bang the sound, let fly with strings, and basically move well. However, once the themes establish themselves in this song, they don't play and push with their boundries too much... they stick pretty much to the blueprint that the first minute of the song draws out. One or two more *varied* flute melodies would have helped the song out, for example. As a whole, this is a very pleasant song to listen to, and it's got quite an impressive sound considering it came from the mind of a rookie.
