Interesting theme, and capturing percussion track. The change of beat in contrast with the main theme is a good idea, and keeps alive the interest in song. Try to use different kind of lead samples if you want to create chords with that timbric.

The author solved the problem of good 6/8 beats very well. The song is very melodious, but in a way that leaves nothing in memory. Background music. Sometimes the leads could need some more delay, and sometimes the Game Boy playing on channel 15 could stop for a pattern or so. I think some of the samples are from some Groovy Compo Sample Pack, but I could be wrong. They are clear and overall quite nice. Very original form, but not so original music.

I didn't really have any problem with this tune but I thought that the melody wasn't very catchy and that the bassline was pretty simple. Apart from that, the samples were well chosen and the tempo was well suited.

Interesting sound. Particularly liked the synth-guitars in the choruses. It is a good idea to use 6/8 beat, but don't confuse the listener with so many backbeats. Make some more simple, efficient beats. You gave your song a good atmosphere, with this excellent sample panel.

Some patterns are very good (exmpl. 13, 39,...). But sometimes some patterns(not whole patterns, only some channels) are curse all music. Well it's very enjoable music. Sorry, but only 70. :(
