Heh, watch those repeats, they'll make you dizzy. Now to the song. Instruments 3 and 20 needs centering, a bit annoying to the left. Also you don't really need to set the tempo when not changing it, waste of space not that a few bytes really matters. The repeats could work betters with another itteration, pattern 14's loop especially. There are plenty of changes in the song to keep me interested too. It has a full/complete sound with just enough high-medium-low frequency's and wide panning :) Actually the left panning on that melody was the only thing I didn't like, so I changed it but I can't vote on changed versions can I ;)

Wow.. I love this freestyle music. You clearly have control over the tracker. I like the intro - thanks for WAVE making this kind of music more popular in the scene. The variations and development throughout the song kept me interested. But some key changes came unnaturally. Be careful with key changes, sometimes they modify the mood too abruptly. Otherwise, a nice song with creal, strong samples. Love how the sliding guitar samples worked (last channels) in orders 52-71 :)

Cool swing mood, but it kinda gets old, Necros and Waves used this style alot. It's not very original. Good technique, cool acoustic guitar stuming. The lead guitar sounds quite weird though. A good entry and it is very listenable! Not enough variations, could vary just a little bit more.

Judge: Norilo ,Vesa

Sample set is original, but I don't like the sound of your electric guitar riffs. Percussion samples work well and the beat sounds fine. Leads are executed well if a bit directionless. Inadequate voicing with some chords. Guitar sequences don't really work in the mix either. The lead guitar sample is decent but not great. Structure is not coherent enough and the song doesn't have a theme altough the mood is set fairly well. I can almost feel a kind of buildup near the end. Nice try, but I won't predict a round 2 place for you.

well this song was damn creative so you get extra points for that. Nice choice of samples. The actual song though was more noise than music in some parts; make sure to reign in your creativity a little to acceptable levels. Umm, technique was pretty good.
