This piece starts in a slow tempo, with some unique background sounds. high bell sample provids the solo, that creates a unique/alien atmosphere. in the third pattern, the song's picking up some speed, while the solo and the background fading out, creating an interesting transtion to a more fast, more exciting part. Some parts are getting repeative and thats too bad, cause the artist could create something new in this weird, "magical" atmosphere.Also, in some parts the solo bells stand out too much and getting irritating. in the end , the song returns to its previous speed. there is no clear ending to it, however, if you set your player to replay the song as soon as it is finished you will see that the end and the begginning are musically connected and that the artist intended this track to loop without end. All the samples used in this song are 8 bit, however, that should not be taken as the artist's fault as it is most likely this song is more then 10 years old, besides, the samples sounds ok, though they are weird, they fit together quite well. The artist used some speed effects and volume slides, creating intresting transition parts.furthermore,Some basic panning techinques were used for left and right. also, the artist should get credit for the idea of connecting the ending and the beggining so you play it again as soon as it is finished it sounds as if the song continues on and on.
