Average tune with nice samples and beats. Nothing new, nothing really impressive but pleasant. Just the organs seem to be not fitting.

This tune's got a great feel to it. It's somewhat ambient, but has a fairly driving beat that reminds me of some dance or club music. The samples all sound great; there is a good overall balance in this tune. The vocal samples are nicely echoed, but there's too much stereo seperation between them; I think it would be more effective to have the vocals closer to center, rather than panned hard left and right. The tune seems to flow along nicely, but I'd say it seems a bit too short for my taste. Still, a nice job with this one, it's got a good groove to it. It seems like it could use more, though... something to make it more interesting; but I can't quite put my finger on it. Technically, this tune is somewhat average, and somewhat minimalistic. The tracking is good, with good use of a few effects. The samples are all great, but the few volume envelopes used don't really make a lot of sense; they could be improved slightly, perhaps even combined with some good loop points in the samples even. There's only one loop point chosen, and it's well placed. Overall, there's not a lot to go by with this one; but it's a good song with some great samples.
