Interesting intro, although the whiny high strings are a bit harsh. Good transition to the drums section but them drums themselves slam too hard, and sound too bassy and muffled (use higher notes). From order 03, the guitar just sounds like it's been thrown in and doesn't really belong to the rest of the piece. Panning throughout is minimal (chords/leads especially). The melodies are too repetitive and the chords just drone. A weird mix of styles that doesn't seem to work - sinister soundtrack meets Terminator-esque industrial. Work on your panning, use better samples and develop your tunes more instead of throwing styles together that don't get along.

This tunes reminds me of some kinde of film music. Great stringcombinations! The rythms in the tune are good. You score high in the originality-section, and 'form'-section. But I think you could made an effort to make it somewhat longer, that would make it much better. Your tracking-technique is very good. The ending wasn't too good.

Well orchestrated intro, nice beats, however the piece didn't seem to progress anywhere. There wasn't a real lead anywhere, nothing in particular that caught my ear, except maybe the intro from patterns 0 to 3. The flow of the chords in patterns 5 and 6 has a nice eerie/hopeful feel to it. The guitar (is that a lead?) is good but a bit overused and gets repetitive as well. More panning is needed in the strings, only the drums are panned. The panning of the snare in patterns 11 and 12 sounds a little awkward, it would've sounded better with maybe a different snare sample. The strings in channels 18 and 19 (from patterns 15 and on) should be panned on opposite sides to get a more concert hall feel (This needs to be done with the strings in general).

I really like the orchestral feel of the piece towards the the beginning of the piece. It does a great job of leading into the rest of the song. The dropoff used about halfway through the song was done very professionally, it really adds to the song. However, I thought that the change in beat occuring about 3/4 of the way through the song sort of broke the continuity. Perhaps you could work that in a little more smoothly? I like the flare at the end of the song. Overall, a nicely done song, with a onlyfew minor errors!

The misspelling of the songtitle is quickly forgotten when the drums strikes me. I give this song an overall of 75, even if it feels like it should be worth more. The samples are a little bit rusty, but it fits the ambience. I recognize some of them to be sampled from a sequence in a Massive Attack song. Good thing he didn't use the sequence itself. The intro is nice, and as I thought this song could be awesome with heavy drums, they hit me. This song gave me goosebumps as I increased the volume and almost blew my speakers away. The things I dislike are the clicking sounds I hear from time to time from some of the instruments, and the short- ness of the song. it almost sounds like it could be a soundtrack from "the 5th element". The only thing missing is more reverb on the drums, maybe even more drums in it. The effects are well-used, still I miss the panning options which would have made the overall standing even higher. This guy shows his talent and experience, and should be proud over his work, maybe even search for a job as a game-musician.

Cool song, a nice feel to it. Cool instrument combinations and an erie feel to the song make this song really good. The song also seems to flow nicely, there is no abrupt changes and the song does not feel segmented at all. The song is well done. I honestly cannot find any problems in this song that hurt the piece and its judging score. I listened to this song many times and could not find anything wrong. It is a solid, flowing, well done song.
