| I like the lullabye-esque intro. Then the tune took a turn that I didn't expect. That strange chord progression caught me off guard. It's all good, though. A pretty neat drumbeat comes in, and overall it's a relaxing and interesting tune. | |

| Overall, a very fun tune. I especially like the bassline. Not the greatest or most original sound, but certainly passes. | |

| The samples sound a bit dated, but this tune has a pretty good sound nonetheless. This is class ambient stuff, and I enjoyed it a lot. Worth a listen. | |

| Dark trance tune. More or less minimalistic, but it has plenty of (sometimes subtle) variations. It's a pleasant listen. | |

Rated 8 / 10 |
| I really enjoyed this. The tune's very laid back, and the whole thing breathes easy. The level of minimalism in the leads is somewhat akin to xerxes' style, which I like. I particularily like when it picks up a bit later in the piece. All in all a very fine tribute! | |

| I thought it started a little too abrutply, and maybe a little weak, somehow, but towards about 1/3 into the tune, the whole thing tightens up and it really is pretty catchy. Some samples hang too long and the ending is abrupt. But Woolters' brass work always amazes me. Nice work there. | |

| Hehe, yeah, this put a smile on my face. The beginning is a little weak, I think, but it grows on you. Nice work with the brass and the tuba bassline. I especially like that wonderful little bit towards the end there. Fantastic question and answer motifs between the instruments! Very nice. | |

| Wow. I rarely hear this genre of music properly done in a mod, so I have to give Woolters a high five on this one. He has such a good feel for rythm, and I envy him for it. I don't know what else to say; this is really great. If you like jazz music, don't miss this one! | |

| While I think this is the weaker one of the tunes you've linked up here, that's not to say it's bad. The lead didn't work quite as well for me, and sometimes I thought the bass and the lead were clashing a little. Nonetheless, there were some bits I did like, like your intro, your beats and riffs, and so forth. Not bad. | |

| I really like the move to the minor variation. This one is particularily interesting because it's almost like it tells a story, you know. It's easy to imagine lyrics or some scenario to go with this. And there's alot to be said for that. Also, wonderful muted trumpet work. Impressive. | |

| It's refreshing to hear music like this. It's so light and carefree. The volume did some erratic things for me when it got to that guitar solo thingy, but I'm sure that's XMPlay going bonkers on me. Otherwise, that guitar solo is pretty cool. Very nice work. Love it. | |

| I adore this one. I like the fade-ins especially. And of course, you can't go wrong with that drop rythm. If your a fan of reggae/dub music (and even if you aren't) I definitely recommend this. Woolters is awesome at this stuff. Fantastic short little number. | |

| I thought this one was a little slow to start, but once it got going, I could really feel it. I'm very impressed by the fantastic mood you were able to create in this one. I actually felt the chills when your bass came in after the drumroll. Beautiful strings. I like the way you stopped it abruplty, too. Very nice work. | |

| A 10/10 from our admin led me to expect much from this tune -- and it did not disappoint! This sounds really clean, professional, and just plain cool. It has an impromptu feel to it, which I really like. I'm a fan of this kind of music and am always impressed when it is so well captured in a mod. Brilliant. | |

| Okay... well, while I do recognize the musical elements in this mod that do deserve some merit, the overall sound is just too harsh, rough, and too basic. Quite a few samples in this one, played bare as they are, plain hurt my ears. There really should have been much more attention put towards quality and presentation in this one. Lack of, and obvious disregard for such things really kills it. | |
