...distant galaxy... (protas_-_distant_galaxy.xm)

Overall Impression (7/10)

Very nice start, a bit too long of an intro. Very clean music, easy-listening. Though this mellow genre must not go crazy, there is too little action in the song.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (7/10)

Great technique in what is used. Used all and only 10 channels. Retriggers, portamentos, very good work with the volumes. One would like to see more panning and, maybe, the three drumsequences could be written out.

Development (9/10)

Everything fits together like it was never apart. Such a good job done getting those samples and make this mellow piece. It is alway quiet and keeps quite interesting. It makes you want to listen again, which is remarkable, because it is not that variated.

Creativity (7/10)

There is nothing like a real melody. The chords and the strings make some melody with the waw-waw-sounds and the laserbeams. If this song was built out some more, it could be a complete landscape of music. Now it is a garden. A beautiful garden.

Enjoyment (8/10)

The almost off-tune organ-sample in pattern 35/36 is completing the compo. But one wishes this very exciting sound was heard before and extended to a new level. No, a new dimension, so to speak.
