The tracking technique displayed in this song is very good. I found that the snare (sample 15) was a little loud throughout, but the drum work is good. The beginning riff is very nice, and simple which sets the tune off well. The bass is used well. The transition from orders 8 to 9 is superb. The tunes in the lead instrument are good from order 13. I would have liked more variation in the drums at order 22 after the transition and the hihats become a little monotonous. However they do effectively provide a constant rhythm behind the syncopated drum work. This song is enjoyable and skillfully tracked.

This one scores high in originality and technique. The leads sound a bit randomly. You created a good atmosphere regardless. Excellent drums at first sight, but alas! there's a drumloop involved. Nonetheless, good and clear samples and good use of effects. The tune is not repetitive. All in all, nothing really bad, but unfortunately nothing you remember tomorrow morning.

This was a very well tracked tune, technically, and with a very good tune. It managed to carry its musical integrity more or less throughout the entire song. When the tune shifted at the 23rd pattern to a more dramatic mood, the composer didn't really manage to change the mood at this part at all. I think it should have been more dramatic, even if it that only entailed increasing the volume. The drum solo in patterns 31-32 werne't really done well enough to carry the tune through until the music came back a afterwards.

sample selection isn't all that great, they come together ok, but quality and tuning of samples aren't quite there. clutter of ideas, no real direction with the music. doesn't really attracted the listener because the lack of energy or direction. bass sample needs more umphf! no variety of drum beat makes the drum break hard to sit through. nothing terrible about this song, just nothing exciting about it

Judge: Telgarsky ,Matus

nice mellow song. Try to mess around with volume a little more. real nice job.
