Easy listening song, airy and smooth. Far too simple from a veteran composer. There are no faults really, but I better not entered such a song in this division. The drums are well done. The chords are too repetitive, the bass is very bare. Nothing more nothing less, a smooth song at all, but You better agree that Your tune cannot become a winner in this cathegory. Your drum samples should be crisp and some panning would also help. Mediocre entry.

This is not a very original track. Your samples isn't the best, the voice samples are good though. You are using too many channels, and your volume is tuned too low. Your rythm is boring. The bass-line has been used too many times before. The tune faired badly in the orginiality, maninly because of your rythm and bass. And your 'form' score isn't too high either, because you don't let the song 'build itself up' and you repeat patterns.

Good song, good quality vocalist. Altough there is a repetitive beat, the sample quality and the good balance of volumes and panning, render this song enough interesting for a direct listening, and very good for a background playback. Good care has been taken for the part of the song, and the main echoed theme remain impressed in mind for some time.

An average song, it has an ok beat, fair bassline, but is enormously repetitive. There are some neat effects, such as with the bells and voice sample, and the panning is pretty good. The volume effect with samples 26 and 27 needs work, it sounds off rhythm. I assume this a dance tune, many of the ideas here are not very original. The beat is the same repitition for the majority of the piece, the same goes for the bassline.

This song is extremely well tracked and uses many channels to create variations in texture of both orchestration and lead riffs. The drum beat is simple but very effective, and is a good example for new trackers on how to create a great sound in the beat without being extravagant. The song is very crisp and clean throughout and the subtleties are effective. I like the chord progression. The vocal line is high quality and very well tracked. The lead riff that appears in pattern 6 (channels 38-45) is effective but was a little disappointing initially - I wanted a bit more, maybe a chorded riff. I like patterns 10 and 11 - good echos and subtle filter changes. The song does not build up as much as I hoped - it doesn't develop much beyond the exposition of themes early on. I wanted more development into heavier orchestration and beat. However, it is a fine piece and very enjoyable - well done!

A nicely done song in a style I am partial to. The sound is a bit thin and the construction is maybe a little too repetitive, but the basic idea: take a nice progression and a few neat melodies, add a nice beat and hammer it home for three minutes -- is a formula that works for me. Some of the samples are kind of weak, but overall the song was a nice one to listen to.
