At the start of this one I thought 'Oh great, another piano ballad' but then, after some time it turned out, that it's far from being 'just another ballad' or even just another anything. This is by far the most original one of all the songs I had to vote on. In fact I don't even know what style it is in. It begins like a perfectly normal ballad, but later there's also techno-like(?) elements, and in parts it reminded me of old Tangerine Dream stuff (or similar things). And although I'm usually not the person who goes for originality in the first line, I think this the best of all the tracks I have heard. The only thing I would criticize is that IMO it uses too much channels. And in the first pattern the should be a command to set the global volume back to maximum. But this didn't have any influence on my rating for the song.

some interesting parts'n variations...really good technique'n samples... but the tune is a bit boring... that's the right word to define it...

Nice tune. Cool lead. I didn't like the piano samples all too much. The drums are cool.

Impressive work with the piano. It was convincingly real! I love how the song develops. The jump to pattern 48 was a bit unexpected though. Work on a transition there. In contrast, 44 to 36 was perfect. This song appears to be more of a compilation of works rather than a song, but that was ok. I love the piano tune (pattern 31 and after). Even though it was simply an echo, it was really effective. Overall, this is a song I _enjoy_ listening to and one of my favorites.

The composition skills there shows, it sounds good to me. Good technique, it's pleasant. Fair song. Nothing outstanding, a couple of ripped samples, but then again, it's OK.
