Overall Impression (6/10)

Very energetic start, which wants you to get up and bop your head. The artist has found a good theme, that is maybe leant here or there. This theme does not change at all, and that is a pity. There is no bridge to be found, the only thing Neo did was decreasing the speed and enhancing the effects.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (5/10)

This is a standard compo in which the artist used an amazing 24 channels, though it is easily done in twelve and maybe, if someone knows his way around the tracker very well, in only 8 channels.

The lack of effectuse is hardly felt, due to the fact all samples are high-quality. This can ben seen as a problem immediately. While the song uses only 10 samples and 25 patterns, it is still almost 400kb. Where did that came from, I hear you ask. Well, some of the samples are almost 50kb and sample 8 is nothing less than 96kb...

This is not how it should be done, old-schooly speaking.

Development (7/10)

The music is well-balanced. No controls of beats or predomination of strings. Some panning could have been used, but as a listener you do not necessarily miss it.

Creativity (6/10)

The artist has found a melody, let us say a 'theme', and this theme is used out endlessly. It is good the song is too short to get boring or enoying. The melody creates some chords, which are not original (what chord is?), but how they stick together has been done also. So, it is recognizable, and therefor not too creative.

Enjoyment (6/10)

For the genre this song is in, let curse in church and call it techno, it is sufficient. Only one keeps thinking what it could have been with a bit more work, a bridge, a second theme, a blunt bassline, some more samples, a bit of extra music and some instruments.

But maybe at that point we are composing a different song.
