I took the time to review your track. It was really good.
If I get a review account, I will add this to the real archives:

Song Name: Elusive Dreams (ckelusive.it)
Artist: Ceekayed
Quick Rating: 7
Good
Semi-Pro
Classification: Ambient/Demo Style/Techno
Musical Rating: Good/Semi-Pro
This track uses a simple looped melody in 5 minutes. However, unlike what you may think at first when you hear this, you really do not mind it. I'll try to explain as accurate as possible.
It starts with some percussions, techno effects and synths/strings. The mood is set with a calm and slightly dreamy theme. The techno effects increases and a pling-plong loop starts which perfectly fits into the theme. It slowly moves on with new old school samples and ends up with a similiar relaxing mood as in the beginning.
The melody is easy to listen to and relaxing. It is perfect for those who love ambient and atmospherical modules.
Technical Rating: Very Good/Semi-Pro
The technical side is very well crafted. The rhythm is very original. Is it 7/4? In that case, the artist has fulfilled something I have newer managed to do despite many trials. =) Lots of Off Set, Tone Portamento and panning effects has been used. The samples seem to wrap up from all sides even as they are rather centered, creating a manual reverb effect. This also means that turning on reverb on your player probably will ruin the panning effects.
Samples are all 8-bit but the artist uses so many effects and echoes that you probably would mistake them for 16-bit until you see it for yourself. Nothing feels strange or dirty. The file size is also small, which is a sign of good tracking. Well done!
To summarize, this is a very good ambient/demo style/techno module. Give it an ear!
