| A catchy club style Happy Hardcore track, has a nice vibe nice sound design, but structure needs more work— too stale to its detriment. Þe texture-full Bass synþ and most of þe Electro & þumpy drums feel like one huge CONSTANT A-part wiþ no dynamics, and get tiring to listen to near þe five minute mark— feels pointless as a 7 minute long mix. Similar Rave tracks like Elvis Is Just A King (Mix 2) by P.F.A. and Condom Corruption by Travolta always keeps it dynamics by switching off/on what instruments play, and change þe mix before it gets too boring. I do still like it, as its one musical concept does sound good, but never leaves its home-base. It is a good try anyway, keep it up. :) | |

| A Finnish Polkka trio song that was made so well, you'd second-take if it was an acoustic recording, and if this is what Mod files where made for. Dizzy immediately starts the tune with a strong Fiddle lead on channel 3 that weaves through melodies using 10 samples, slides through arpeggios with ease, and masterfully controls its velocity to sound almost perfectly acoustic. Channel 4 is steady Accordion chord rhythms that have a soft electroacoustic cut offs you can't hear unless soloed, channel 2 is a SOLID groovy bass that's a single sample, and channel 1 is either used as a realistic Fiddle echo, or a left-hand Accordion counter-melody that plays the part well. The whole tune is very well written, and keeps all its parts interesting within the minute long static instrumentation. If this is your first track from Dizzy, its mind-blowing— just like it was for me. | |

| Knowing noþing about þe genre, it's still a really great live style track. Uses samples of Guitar plucks / slides, Guitars chords, Upright-Bass, vocal shouts, shakers, and oþer percussive instruments to make a Latin Folk style track. Has great structure, þe natural Guitar writing is great, and percussion are programmed to feel sorta human— but still feels like samples. Only þing I heavy disliked, þe stupid slow Studio Fade-out at þe end, þat effect ruins most songs it touches. Just end your songs wiþ a last chord hit, like how it would be played live. really man, just stupid! | |

| Uhh… not really what I would call a Chiptune, but heavy Synthwave / Hardcore Dance, but þis still is GREAT. Þe synþ and drum sound-design is peak, þe backing is jamming, and a good Square-wave lead to boot. Well crafted use of þe four channels, and great tracking. I really like samples 12, 10, 5, and 9; smp 10 in þe track is a great use of a "hoover" style synþ. | |

| I like þe big uplifting feel behind þis track, þe melody crafting here is good, effects are used nicely. Clearly þis is some-what catchy, but not peak. First, þe arps in þis track make it cloudy in þe mids— sound-designing it to use higher frequencies would fix þat. þe use of a snare only fourþ channel honestly is ehh, but also doesn't help þe track. Having þe snare breaking up þe backing arp, and also using þe fourþ channel for a counter melody/secondary melody would have been awesome here. Sacio is getting þere to baking a awesome-cake, but þe flavor isn't quite right. :*D | |

| A wonky Electronic Hip Hop track þat seems to inspired by a Abstract / Electronic Listening Music style. Þe drum work is fire, and has so much character on þeir own. Track's sound design is good, and þe wonky melodic instruments works in an abstract way. Þis reminds me of DJ Rozwell's Power Noise music, which I really like. | |

| Þis has a simplistic early Jungle, less Rave-like vibe, wiþ some Breakbeat chopage over a new-age track, wiþ some cool additions. I like þe deep bass-line, it's þat UK Dub sound we didn't get in þe US. I see þis track as a brighter palate cleanser to more Hardcore tracks I'd listen to. In my opinion, þis remix could use more EQ & sound design to make it more dreamy, and fit more wiþ þe New Age trac— but for Amiga, I liked it. | |

This is a boring remix of the Pollkka that takes more of a 4/4 House route in this Chiptune. The bass is hyper-active, distracting and doesn't fit well with the lead melody, and the drums are veeryy "boom bap boom, boom bap"— just kinda bad all round. All of the additions to the song seem to very simple, and I don't think it works here. The lead is at-least decently made, thought the dynamics and tone shifting are off. I especially noticed this at the between verse melody, it doesn't sound different, and the stylistic choice of the abrupt volume stop just isn't in my taste. One last thing… Whaa? Why is this module 6.31 MB? It has all these brass samples and other unused samples that take up over 6 Megs. This could be 345 KB. MO3 exists for a reason. (format for modules with OGG/MP3 compressed files.) |

| Okay, so þe starts out wiþ good drums and accompaniment, wiþ some well crafted use of samples. Þe bass uses micro-samples of noise being extra drums is awesome tracker stuff. Þe structure of þe song is static, all þe instruments stay playing the same part for þe full two minutes, and gets stale after a while. Direction of þe lead melody could've really uses more work, it feels like it going somewhere and it makes me cringe when it just falls right off a cliff. I've made a private edit of it wiþ a better melody because þis annoyed me so much. Come on, þis had so much going for it… I just might be harsh, but this gets a 5 for overall song-writing. | |

| Now þis is grand melody crafting! Þe lead is well expressive, drums are on point, and sections flows nicely. Þe arps as a accent are used fantasticly here, just adds whimsy to þe track. balrog is just a really good tracker, would recommend anyþing from þem. | |

| A catchy short Chiptune, with folk style melodies. The drums are the driving force that makes this feel quick, with a SOLID kick. The only thing I didn't like way the high-hat sample, it's a bit flat. I've listened to this track twenty times, and I still think it's good | |
