It take a little while for this tune to get started. The guitar riff is nice and the tune has a nice groove, but seems to lack any direction. The use of the brass ensemble is good, and the first main theme is okay. The open section is a little repeditive. Again the second section was a little repeditive, and doesn't seem to do anything much. Then the tune returns to the main theme. The samples in the tune are good, the rythmically the tune is fine. But it is a bit repeditive, it need more melodies, and changes, like maybe a keychange or tempo change, or a whole change of feel entirely somewhere in the tune.

A quiet and uninteresting start to this track that soon becomes repetitive. The sample quality is fair, but contains 4 long hooks, and not enough original samples. In pattern 16 the feel of the track deviates to an almost 80's disco style, and although the previous feel continues it does not sit well musically. An almost entirely ripped beat and bassline that is uninspiring and does not deviate at all. When removing the loops from this track you end up with basically nothing. Far more of a melody is needed, but what there is of a melody complements the loops well enough. This song sounds and feels like a re-mix, too many loops, borrowed samples and ideas with an over long fade out ending.

Hmm...this is intro is interesting. Funkifying :) I don't belive I had heard a song like this tracked. Sounds very nice, and I love the organ. However, the style is obviously not all that origonal, but I noticed you threw in a new-age bell thingy. That made the song a bit more interesting. Nice bridging, and I like the slight change in style. I would have added more strings, or something that changed the style more. I thoguht you went back to the origonal style a little too early, probably because of time constraints. I don't like how you made the song loop back to the fadeout point. Now I have to jump out of my text editor, and restart the module, blah blah =) All in all, it's not the most origonal song, but it does have some intresting origonal points to it. And it does sound professional, and high quality. The song would have been much more enjoyable to see it played by a band however, than listen to it in a music contest =)

Great sample set, as it should be, when you rely this heavily on extended riffs. I take your score down for that. The song does set a mood, however. I have hardly ever heard a tracked piece this minimalistic. This is music I could fall asleep listening, and that's no bad thing, mind. And your obviously high tracking skill makes the sound smooth enough so hardly anything here annoys my ear. Some sour notes can be heard when all the riffs are playing together. This is real veteran material, but I don't catch any inspiration or artistic creativity behind this tune. Only display of your noticeable skills.

I hope the author created the guitar and bass sequence samples, because if not, there was almost no skill involved with this song. It is very redundant. Instrument A was the only sample that seemed to do anything interesting. Instrument 3 did not work well with the bass sequences, it was not in the same key. If you want to keep the listener interested, you have to make the song interesting! Don't depend on the sequence samples to make the song for you!

Really nice groove and an enjoyable song, but unless you actually played those instruments, it's not really a very original track. I like it anyways, because I don't recognize whatever it's from (if it is), and it's got a nice sound, but you're probably going to lose points with a lot of people because of it, since all you really added on was the occasional snare and some bells.

A funky feel with a bit of beat really puts the song in a groove. The variation of beats prolongs the listener's attention. You used a lot of looped samples; I especially liked the loop with that rhythm played by the guitar. The drumbeats were of good quality too, like they were taken from Sample CD's. Some nice harmonies with the vibe synth (sample 0A). Some of the samples are a bit worn out, esp. the trumpet sample (0C). Some added leads/tunes/riffs here and there could spice up the song a bit more. Sometimes, a little too repetitive.

Ohhh what happened: ´Captain Future Theme´ jazzy/techno version or am i wrong? From my point of view it´s a mix, but ok. lots of ripped loops in this song!!!
