The Core (core.it)

Overall Impression (6/10)

This composition has some kind of depressed but beautiful mood all the time.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (5/10)

The structure is fairly simple: there is only a few different parts in the song, which have their own melodic motives and almost the same chords but in a different order. The composer uses some nice sound effects on the background, some of which have been made by cutting the sample's volume in pieces. But the continuous tremolo of the lead gets a bit disturbing in some parts but in some parts it sounds very fine.

Development (6/10)

Samples aren't too bad(apart from the piano and string -sample), they don't disturb the song. Panning could have made this song sound deeper, if it had been used.

Creativity (4/10)

There are two different main parts in the melody, the other one sounding like a melancholic Finnish folksong. These melodies are simple and ordinary. I don't find them as a result of revolutionary creativity. These melodies sound simple but beautiful, after all.

Enjoyment (5/10)

This song goes forward nicely and simple melodies are somewhat catchy. But it doesn't offer anything new and very interesting in a musical way.
