Now that's music I like! Flawless as far as I'm concerned. Much variety in here! Sorry for this VERY short comment but I just realised that the actual deadline is at Sun 10/8 00:00 GMT instead of Sun 10/8 24:00 GMT! I'm terrible sorry.

Judge: Jonsson ,Agust

Dunno what to say. Too loud, there are parts where the leads drown out because the drum track is overbearing. After the intro, it takes too long to get on with the job (pos 9-12). The worst flaw about the track is that there are times where there's too much going on and individual bits simply drown out in a cacophony of noise. The tracking itself is good and the samples are fairly good, but obviously struggling within the 1mb limit.

Judge: Hu ,Kochun

A peculiar piece, with a little too much repetition. The busiest part of the song, with very active percussion, suffers from a repetitive bassline. The ending piano arrangement is somewhat dull, using only two alternating arpeggiated chords. Altogether not badly mixed, but a little lacking in music interest.

Judge: Norilo ,Vesa

Good sound and mixing. Well-chosen sample set, apart from the piano multisample, which sounds tinny and weak. Chords are dull most of the time, but there is enough happening in the mix to keep it from becoming boring. Lead sound sounds pleasant and expressive. The supposed buildup is actually a builddown since the beat only makes things worse. You track synthetic sounds much better than model acoustic instruments. Overrall, the song is very enjoyable. I actually mostly like it.
