This is obviously someones first work. Being so, this piece doesnt have lots of musical content, however it manages to deliver a decent preformance. It starts with a basic bass line, made by a bass guitar, acompanied by a short piano chord hits. Than, a set of drums are added, creating a very simple beat. Next, the artist wrote some synth parts with a short flute solo which seems to be more a background sound. It doesnt have an ending, but the artist created a musical connection between the last pattern and the first so it sounds ok when it return to the begining. Most first works have very little technical content, this track is no different. The artist didnt use any volume settings or alterations during the play, also no sound effects were used, though there are evidence the artist did try to use some, but to no success. The song is built in a very simple method, each pattern repeats itself twice, then moving to the next pattern. Inside pattern strucutre is too, very simple and basic.

This is kind of laid back, but very catchy. It slowly evolves, one good melody after the other. New melodies come and go, never to be heard again. I normally don't like that sort of arrangement, but it seems to work well here. Points off for lack of hi-hat and cymbals. It's enjoyable -- nothing spectacular but not too bad either. "Solid" is a good word. Good samples, the drums are huge. Great blend of instruments -- they convey the feel of the music well. Very small filesize at 37k.
