Now this song was hard. It travels in the edges of many styles. It is one way psychedelic piece of music but then again it has some ambient- and even chip-influences. Basically there is just a soft poppish drumtrack behind and then some samples are added... I wonder who composed this? In the beginning there is only a creepy string sample and it is soon followed by that drumline that will play through the whole song without major changes. Bass gives some depth to this, otherwise pretty lame song. Any melodies or something? Yeah, but nothing great. Composer propably used some old "battery-Casio"-samples to the melodies. So called trumpet does not sound like trumpet. Another sample sounds like some bad electric piano. Well, my intention is not to give a picture that this song sounds awful. But when the lenght is less than 2 minutes (the song loops), there is no chorus or decent melodies and those melodies are the only thing that change during the song, you can't expect anything massive. I would really like to now that why the file name is "last attempt". Did composer tried something with this piece? And how would 16-bit version sound? Well, I don't know it now. All I can tell is that this version doesn't offer anything special... 8-bit version = 8-bit samples. Despite this fact the samples are pretty clean and sound good in a way, but then again, the stringsample was propably the only musical thing that I liked about this song.=) Leadsamples used some effects and some dualcommands were used. Weird thing is that since this song shows that the artist is a good tracker, why did he composed something like this? I would really like to know... For me this song would propably work best when I got lot of worries and I have a beer in front of me.
