A simple tune which is a bit too repetative, and statically chorded. The tuning, and sample quality is top-notch. Very clean! The panning is great except the bass which is a little lop-sided. Interesting use of sine giving this tune a 'spooky' feel. The use of NNA's and commands , combined with the envelopes which don't "damage" the tune shows this author knows Impulse Tracker well. Nice texture provided by the wood blocks sample.

dogbone: the listener really feels like a dogbone during a dog is chewing on it. some changes growing in it are hard to find. its all the same again and again - a kind of background-music. it lacks a lead-melody and a climax ! technic and sampleset are finest quality. dont think this tune would impress anybody. 35

It doesn't seem to go much of anywhere for the first two minutes. A lot of the intro probably could've been cut. Good percussion though. You might want to consider inserting a more definitive melody somewhere in the middle. A more obvious ending would work better as well.

This song was very well tracked technically, and was quite enjoyable to listen to at the same time. It was, however, not quite filled out enough, and it left a kind of an empty atmosphere to the listener. If nothing else, trying adding some more harmony or echoes or something. Also there wasn't quite enough change in the progression of the song. There need to be some well-defined high and low points in the song. This was done to an extent, but more definitely could have been done. Overall a very pleasant song. All the basic aspects were there.

Structure needs work, parts need to blend together more. Very clean sounding, but doesn't really flow. Interesting to listen to but not much variation.
