Good opening that builds and adds samples to compliment what has already been played. Different things happen with the different lines that don't hurt the song but instead help to create a type of mystery. I wonder what is going to be in the next phrase as I listen to it. Would have been better if the volume on the one main sample had been lower; Hard to hear the good string sounds because of the bell/chime sound.

The melody in channels 1-2 is always repeated and I hate it. It ruined the whole module. By muting those two channels, there's a good base to track something good -- the only thing missing is the lead. There's a lot of potential in the module, but it's all destroyed by the annoying melody. It's also way too long. I listened to the module without the first two channels and it was quite good. However, my duty is to evaluate what *has* been done and not what *could* have been done. PLEASE remix that module and release it!

Neat almost backwards-sounding violin at the beginning, a very interesting sample. Once again, someone who uses the dreaded flute samples without making me cringe (heh). This song is obviously meant for the slow build, but it's almost too slow; despite the fact that it has a nice ambient feel, it's hard to keep interest. When it finally gets moving around orders 29 and 30, it really sounds nice, with an almost oriental feel. Very nice buildup in energy, but again it really takes a long time to go anywhere. Overall, some interesting parts and a nice feel, but it should be a couple minutes shorter. :)

13.5 minutes?!? Ok, sure there's no time limit this time, but this is ridiculous. Good thing we judges only have to listen the first four minutes. The first two channels just seem to repeat virtually the same thing over and over again. The piece grows gradually... very, very gradually, far too much so. Melody line used in channel 7 often isn't very good. The organ that comes in isn't bad though. Hmm, 4 minutes is up, and I'm thoroughly bored.

Well the song was creative, and the technique was peretty good.. nice choice of samples.
