Great intro, You know how to get the listener into the Atmosphere. I realized You like voices in the tunes... that's ok, however they eat up some kilobytes, so that's why they must be downsampled... and then they sound bad... that's what happened in your case. Then, the other samples are downsampled too, because of the size limitation... The instrumentation is unusual, I liked it, the sound of Your song is nice, doesn't hurt (unlike some other tunes) and the only faults I found are those vocals with extreme panning and the crazy surround experiment in patterns 8-9...

The idea for this song was ok, but everything else was just average. The intro was too long, and the vocals in the beginning weren't very nice. The drums were a little bit too quiet, I couldn't hear them very well. You could have used a little more bass, it would have improved the song little. The lead-like "piano" in the middle of the song was cool. Overally, an average song with good technique.

The vocals definitely detract from the song. They are not done well at all. The samples are either really bad or corrupted, if it's just my saoundcard then I'm sorry, but it just sounds really bad. Not as bad as lucy, but not good. Since I got this off of the mc6 cd, I don't think it's corrupted, but you never know.

I find this tune disgusting. And not due to any technical fault of yours. You manage to set a mood, but I just hate it. I do acknowledge that you are a skilled tracker and a very good at mixing besides, but I just can't bring myself to like this one. Sample set is not very good, but used well.

Nice tight bass drum, to start with. Good use of quite graphic vocals (chop off the muscle tissue?!). Throwing the whole song into surround worked well and definitely shows for originality points (even though it was discouraged). Nice little crescendo in order 22 and clever little repetition at the tail of order 25 gets you big tech points. But MAN, did they all have to go into the same song at the same time? It just strikes me that you used the Impulse Tracker feature list as a checklist. Not that you didn't abuse them to generally good effect, but you could have been a little less blatant about it.
