This is a very unique piece which i enjoyed a lot. It has a short introduction, thats leads us right into the heard of the song. The various themes used are very beautiful and very well connected. It got a fast and thrilling beat that keeps you very much interested and focused on the track throughout the whole piece. The mood created is mysterious and exciting. The ending is very original, creative and a bit surprising. It got some downsides which i must note: The whole song is built with lots of chords and strings and background sounds and beat etc etc, however its a shame the composer didnt write solo parts. Patterns 2>3>4>5 could support a very beautifull solo, i think a guitar synth would be very appropriate. The same goes for patterns 17>18>4>5. Besides that its musically perfect, a bit wierd you might say, but still highly recomended. Some advanced panning techniques and panning settings were used, providing the listener with a full and deep sound. The volume adjustments during the song helps constructing the musical peaks, however its not perfect because some parts sound too loud and in no way different than the parts heared before. No sound effects were used, but no sound effects were needed, this piece sounds perfect without them. All the samples used are 8 bit quality, yet its unoticable because as i said the song sounds almost perfect.
