this is very beautiful and relaxing... i can truly feel what you felt when you were writing this song... the samples are only medium quality, but used effectively... great job on texturing and layering things, volumes are all just right, nothing too overpowering or too far under to be heard well enough... this is simply a very well written beautiful piece of music... only thing i have against it is that it doesn't have a melody that really sticks to my head in any way, and it doesn't seem to really -go- anywhere... it's just a flow about the same volume and same sound the whole way through... perhaps a bit of volume changes and some added/removed instruments would prove effective... overall, nice job.

Sweet slow song. Your samples sounds like crystal clear. Too bad you've used so many channels. Why do people who use Impulse Tracker, don't use the NNA commands ? It could have saved about 10 channels instead of playing sample 1 of seven or height channels. The aim of a slow tune is to express feelings, isn't it ? Well, it's just what you song lacks. You have come close but didn't reach it. Maybe it's a little short too. We don't have time to become soaked with the swing of notes.

Very good mellow song, which suffers from the too loud hihat which ruins the mood IMO because it's too overbearing and gets on the nerves. Which is a real shame because the song is very good. Good work here apart from the samples, many of which are too noisy (background hiss), but the song itself is very good. With some extra work and clearer samples, this could become a truly excellent tune.

Originality certainly is getting a high score here. No question that we have a nice, mellow song happening here. The percussion isn't abrasive, no single instrument is overpowering any other instrument. The thought into this song must have been a great deal to ensure that there was such a good layout. Short but sweet. Possibly a little too short. Samples blended well together, good fades in all cases. This is a very well written song.
