This is an interesting and peppy piece that would really have been a lot better with some variation. From start to finish, you hear each of the expository sections several times. While the themes sound really cool and are done very well, it frankly just gets boring by the end (actually, there is no "real" end because the song is designed to loop!) Anyway, the sections all fit together well, and the samples used sound good. It was really fun and somewhat unexpected to happen across this song, because it's so vastly different from most of the tracks out there; but it really suffers from lack of variation (repetition ad nauseum). The tracking in this piece is done pretty well; though there really aren't any effects used. Of course, with a piece like this, one doesn't really need to use effects. The samples are all decent, some of them sound rather strange... Many of the loop points were chosen quite well, but some could be better. There are some great volume envelopes used in this as well. Overall, this is a pretty basic track, with great themes that are just repeated way too much without any variation.
