floating on toilet (80616-floating.xm)

Overall Impression (8/10)

While I didn't manage to connect the song title Floating on toilet with the Fast D&B mix, it's an enjoyable tune albeit short. Overall, I wouldn't mind recommending this as a quick distraction.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (9/10)

Complex! Very nice use of a wide range of techniques with a good stereo mix. Although it's a little repetitive it's suited well for this. The fact there is structure underneath this makes this tune very listen-able and easy on the ear. It's just a shame it's so short.

Development (7/10)

Although the melodic components of this are mostly driven by the chords, there are the occasional bursts of melody in the chorus. While I enjoyed the rare melodic lines, I felt there could have been more development on the melody, as it is - it's quite repetitive. Had there been an extra few bars of music this could have been extended into longer song with more melodic range, thus satiating the appetite for more ear candy.

Creativity (8/10)

Interesting use of vocal samples, wide use of effects, and a good overall mix. Signs that this composer has some experience with tracker techniques. It works well, the overall piece isn't ground breaking though.

I dare say given the level of experience Michu has, this sounds like it didn't take too long to compose and wasn't quite finished, the ending is perhaps the most disappointing as the tune just fizzles out, missing the opportunity for extended play and a climactic ending.

Enjoyment (5/10)

It's not one I'd have on repeat too often due to it's short length. Still, it's a pleasant enough module to have around in the collection.
