Interesting little chip tune, vaguely reminiscent of the MC6 song "Biohazard," but with fewer channels. This chip song is bursting at the seams to be something a bit more, shall we say, advanced. As it is, the song isn't particularly memorable. It has an okay melody, but little beyond that. There are many directions the author could have taken this song in, but I guess the author chose to go with none of them. Needs work. Fairly typical sound for chip samples, although some of them are much larger than I would expect to find in a chip song. Four channels used, as expected, and it has a typical minimalist tracking style. Decent use of chords. It barely sounds like chip though - it almost sounds like a demo tune with fairly poor samples. The author should have either gone for high quality samples to make it sound like a demo song, or low quality chip samples to make it sound like chip. The song is really in the unsatisfying middle ground.
