Good original tune. The start is a little slow, but once it gets into it turns in a good tune. The mellow start sets a nice mood, the the being of the 'industrial' sounds made me sit up and take a bit more notice. The contracting smooth strings and harsh industrial samples is well done. The change into the 'groove' section was also well done. But I do feel the the lead does lack a little bit of direction. The samples are good, the rythmic feel of the groove section is good, and the changes are good. Pretty good effort

The sample set is of fair to good quality, and contains some interesting sounds. A slow build up to this track that possibly could have done with being a little shorter. There are some good use of frequencies in the beat, which is original in composition, but it fails to fit with the melody, or the melody fails to fit with it. Pattern 33 is cut too abruptly, and would have worked better if the samples had not been cut and instead left to meld into one another in a faded chord transition. The channel panning on melody, pattern 38 and after, sample 44, is uneffective and only creates a confused cut feeling. The feel and flow of the track starts to lose itself after this pattern with overuse of active channels causing the music to jolt for a pattern or so. In total this track never seems to arrive at its destination, contains potential but was never really used, and thus has an almost anticlimactic effect overall, a more solid melodic flow is needed.

The synth at the begginig was a nice, tough the sample is loud and more or less blah. The intro is quite odd, I will admit. Very interesting. The precussion, however, sounds a little too loud, especially that bass hit, and the drums. I like the bridge from the techno thing to the groove. Very nice! That reverbed synth doesn't sound very soft either. Too twangey. I like the string effects! Try to not to rape Qxx - it sounds as if you over used it to an extent. The ending is premature :( And the song didn't stay in one place for long enough. You have the weird ambient techno, then the groove and then, boom, fadeout. You didn't have enough fun with either of the styles. Nice effects, however, and a good general sound, but concentrate more on natural volumes in the future.

Bizarre, but somewhat enjoyable. Sample 35, starting in order 8, was doubled up. That made it too loud. One channel would have been more than sufficient. Sample 37, beginning in order 40, did not seem to have proper channel control, and got a little garbled. The percussion in this song was very original. When doing a "floating tempo," it's usually wiser to try a more conventional method, such as using the Axx command. The SE command worked well enough in this song, but sometimes it won't always be very effective.

Right at the start of Order 01, the "whoosh" sound should not have been cut off like that. The insto was too long, and starting at Order 17, the song COMPLETELY went from one idea to another completely different idea. It would have been fine, but the trasnition was not too good. However, at Order 33, you had a good idea going there. "Double hitting" the drums didn't sound too great (especially for the kick drum). Other than that, the main problem with the song that I could point out was the transitions. That might be something you need to work on.

The whole thing was too broken up. I realize that that may have been intentional, but the track was siimply not continuous again. I kept thinking "Whoa, how'd it get THERE?" The atmosphere in the individual sections was good, mostly, but the 'background' starting in order 16 was too overpowering. It should have been quieter, at least when the melody came in again. The climax was good, but there wasn't anything to reference it against, so uch of the effect was lost. The required: Samples, good. Originality, very ( too? ) strong. Technical, good. Form, down several notches. Overall, could have been better, suffered from lack of coherence.

Despite variation, the intro was not very captivating. The slow chord progression was fine. However, the introduction of the beat did not really add interest to the sound for some reason. Perhaps they were incompatable. But, starting from pattern 33, it suddenly became a second song. More interesting. And more compelling. I loved it. This reminds me of the development of Necros' m6v-mars. Yet, your intro was somehow weaker. With so much time invested in the intro (first song), you didn't have enough to develop the second song - which was too bad.. it was good. The song simply disappears at the end (but the vocals were a plus). The unusual beat became a plus in part 2 (kinda attracts attention in part 1 too ;)

Very good idea in this modul. What a change from the mid to the end :-). Needs some more melody to become great.

Very professional sound, apart from the drum samples which just somehow don't fit in. Slap bass samples sound dry and too tinny in my opinion. Lead sample in the second part is over-echoed. The song has decent flow, but it could be even smoother. Lacks something to remember it by.

very athmospheric - nice drum cuts - i like it - good samples
