Hard to do in a tracker. Sounds really good.

Now this is cool. Good guitar samples. Solid chord structure. Nice sounding leads, both sample-wise and melody-wise. Nice change around order 13. Sorry for the short comments, but I can't find much to criticize here. An excellent and funky song.

A good song with a very good technique. It sounds very good. It is not the tune of my life but it is very good. Originallity, form and sample quality are quite good.

This is funky stuff! :) Nice guitars, nice blend, the choirs chords kinda dies to rapidely for me, interesting lead sound. Very good technique there, very clean samples, very good song period.

The big plus of this song was its consistency. The composer kept a tight, punchy feel throughout. Effects were always used appropriately and in the proper amounts. More channels were in order so that the strings could overlap a bit. As they were, they cut each other off much too noticeably. The bass sample really caught my attention for some reason. Its "electro-ness" fit unusually well with the dynamics of the song. My biggest complaint was the insane leads and snare rolls. There were WAY too many 32nd notes for my ears to handle. The leads kind of turned to mush due to this. And even though the composer probably wasn't going for extreme realism in the drum programming, the snare rolls were too loud and too fast to sound like an integral part of the song.
