Percussions $ $ could be stronger. Quite repetetive tune, and a bit simple $ $ but still sounds good. Reminds me of something.. Oh well. $ $ * "drawbridge"??? =) $ $ * Nice and subtle, good flange effect on drums. A bit repetitive. $ $ * elevator music $ $ * nice progression, little quiet though... $ $ * I must say... very very well done :) You get soup. Just one $ $ question.. is it called fountain or drawbridge? $ $ * Loved the flange guitar. Shame it must've done outside a tracker.. $ $ (note from c.c.: you are allowed to do that.) $ $ * kewl bass $ $ * I canna hear you!! but nice melody.. nifty orchestration. $ $ * very good tune, all around. $ $ $ $ [. 2.] origin.xm Tito (16.2492) $ $ $ $ * Better than average. $ $ * The intro has a really cool texture, and the build up had the $ $ best implementation in the pack. Better precussion samples $ $ provided in the pack would have turned this into quite a $ $ brilliant song. This was my favourite. $ $ * Too bad there isn't much variation. $ $ * Uh, nice chinese start, soft, mellow. With some 303's this $ $ would have been a really nice softtrance tune. The pianomelody $ $ doesn't fit in. Still, a pretty good tune. $ $ * Great! I love this track! $ $ * cool song, annoying trumpet $ $ * good use of strings with xylophone... actually used choppy well, $ $ but doesn't seem to go anywhere. $ $ * this has to be one of my favorites this time around $ $ * kewl.... nice chain link thingy :) $ $ * too boring $ $ * couldn't hear it... $ $ * Boring and samey. Still the best entry, tho. $ $ * Good everything... $ $ $ $ [. 3.] tb-where.it Ballistique (16.0254) $ $ $ $ * Nice and peaceful.. not quite sure about that minor to major $ $ chord somewhere though. $ $ * this song goes nowhere. $ $ * 32 Channels? er. 51 ??? $ $ * Great tune. I _love_ the ideas, the prgression rules, and the $ $ implementation of everything is brilliant! Grand feel to it!!! $ $ * Dont you ever listen to yer song after you write it!? maybe its $ $ just cp. yeah. (note from c.c.: all .it entris of cruelization $ $ are to be played in _impulse tracker_ only! cubic player plays $ $ .it's that have at least _some_ effects/nnas _totally_ wrong. if $ $ you can't run impulse tracker, better not vote on .it's at all.) $ $ * hmm... nice :).. I could use this to goto sleep =) $ $ * excellent song, right speed and great progression, tugs at ya $ $ heart... $ $ * hmmmm $ $ * Nice.. leads need just a little bit of work.. minus points for $ $ unnecessary waste of channels. $ $ * Wheee, before the beeping lead started I thought this was a $ $ commercial rave tune. They usually have intros like in this $ $ tune, heheh. Oh well, nice melodies and stuff in this one, $ $ but something is missing.. $ $ * nice song. $ $ * GREAT TUNE! (i don't know why the composer hates it so much...) $ $ * Great, and I mean _great_ feel. Great sound. Nice texture $ $ achieved with the melody instrument.

(note from c.c.: house ??? :-/ ) $ $ * @:) eye am the gipsy dude $ $ * good tune :) $ $ * an awesome use of the instruments $ $ * good intro! needs help when in main part... sounds way too 80's. $ $ $ $ [. 5.] smeg_sas.it Smeg (15.0258) $ $ $ $ * Smeg iz guuude. $ $ * What the hell is a B-Nat doing in a g_minor chord? [order 1] Bad $ $ musical management of polyphony spoils the intro. Poor tracking $ $ ruined the potential that this peice had - it inhibited the $ $ subtlety required to get the feel that this tune needed. $ $ * Mono? $ $ * A bunch of notes was my first thought. Well, it still is $ $ but somehow I got a strange feeling listening to this. $ $ Like beeing stuck inside a pyramid (1st part) and suddenly $ $ Prodigy starts flashing at you with huge flashlights (2nd part). $ $ Err, nevermind. I like some parts of the tune eventhough they $ $ technically/musically sound bad. :) $ $ * well out of key most of the time. $ $ * weird, not so very good though. $ $ * major or minor, pick one. sounds turkish... $ $ * YOU KILLED MY COMPUTER!~ =).. kinda... uhh... long.. $ $ * 1 good song is better than 4? crap songs. $ $ * ... cheesy Purple Motion-like arpeggios $ $ * If only you got rid of the noise.. $ $ $ $ [. 6.] yb1oompa.it Yannis Brown (14.6734) $ $ $ $ * good song =) $ $ * Very good for a quick tune. ;) $ $ * hahha, Yannis you cheesy bastard.

Sounds unfinished. $ $ * Nice, kinda WAVEy :) unfortunately gets a bit cluttered. $ $ * Nice music, love it $ $ * uh, I hope this is a corrupt tune, cuz the beginning was good, $ $ but then went crap $ $ * pretty good, liked the use of instruments $ $ * This is THE SHIT =) $ $ * Not good. $ $ * Nice.. but VERY QUIET!! $ $ $ $ [. 8.] vertigo.it DarkWolf (14.3871) $ $ $ $ * This has the makings of an epic! $ $ * Samples were outta tune. $ $ * i curse you $ $ * kewl dude :) $ $ * way too choppy, was ok, sounded a lil outta tune in places.. $ $ * cooooooool! $ $ * Hmm.. alright.. but cheesy, especially the guitar.. $ $ * Repetetive synthpop with no destination.

The $ $ second half polka was really good at some stages, with some good $ $ use of chords. I wish the ideas were given their rightful $ $ potential though. $ $ * Pretty ok intro, but the trumpet melody sounds cheap, $ $ kind of. The 2nd part of the tune is crap-children-cartoon- $ $ toy-play-fun-torus-phong-sure-let's-have-some-more-fun, $ $ hello Skaven, but shit. $ $ * Nice tune, until order 7... sound is too dense, everything seems $ $ to be struggling to be heard over everything else.. $ $ * lame $ $ * cool beginning, alrighttowards the middle,and nothing for the end $ $ * nice melody, good into.. pretty sweet :) the xylophones are kinda $ $ not going along with the song. Pretty damn good though. $ $ * its cold up north $ $ * Not bad. $ $ * Nice chord changes.. but use of Note offset on trumpet may have $ $ helped somewhat in places. $ $ * whats with the end?! $ $ $ $ [.10.] mor_deaf.s3m Morph (13.7588) $ $ $ $ * 1st 1/2 is great.. what happened? $ $ * nice melody... $ $ * 8 Becuase you're English. $ $ * luv that hardcore acid $ $ * dude... don't kid with us... this is really good =) $ $ * good start, rest sounds like a broken jack-in-the-boxorigin.xm $ $ * beginning is good, but goes bad about pattern 12... $ $ * oh no! More beeps! $ $ * Good intro.. why did it suddenly turn to crap? $ $ * Kinda nice tune. Sounds like old moviemusic. Cute. $ $ * Well tracked $ $ * Some nice touches here and there, but development problems caused $ $ this tune to get boring when it could have just as easily given $ $ you an erection. $ $ * eep. $ $ $ $ [.11.] rlnever.it Lagioto (12.7777) $ $ $ $ * Some clashes with overlpping, and the strings were wrecked with $ $ those itch bends.. $ $ * out of tune.. sounds like something off a japanimation flick :P $ $ * !offer! Lagiator pic... :) $ $ * some nasty dissonances in there $ $ * hmm... $ $ * great intro! back to the 80's, lil outta tune in places $ $ * good song, sounds like TV! $ $ * Clashing chords and simple tune $ $ * Hehehe, bass, chords, basedrum on the same line. Doesn't $ $ sound good. The melody sucks, doesn't fit in. Has no feeling. $ $ Everything sounds so simple. Qwaah. $ $ * Well done Lagioto! $ $ * The '2nd inversion' chord annoyed me a LOT, and the fact that it $ $ never seemed to go away pissed me off even more. Order 24 gave me $ $ enough strength to glue my hair back on my head. $ $ * Good tune. $ $ $ $ [.12.] f-machin.xm Black Fox (12.2805) $ $ $ $ * pretty cool song actually, sample text was cool too :) $ $ * too popish $ $ * watch your vol! $ $ * it rocks, really =P baha $ $ $ $ [.13.] tb-ias.it Argh (12.2093) $ $ $ $ * You shouldn't have used the trumpet. $ $ * Nice beat...

Some fairly good melodies $ $ in this tune but needs more backup.. Some parts sound very $ $ empty. Hmm, reminds me of very old amiga demomusic. Pretty ok. $ $ * Good work with the character of the peice. Implementation of ideas $ $ ranged from great to below average. Orchestration need one more $ $ sample/idea to guide the listener through what the focus should $ $ have been. Missing notes! $ $ * Good tune. $ $ $ $ [.14.] denizen.it Beek (11.6384) $ $ $ $ * bad choice of orchestration for chords.. good melody.. ending was $ $ too sudden, unresolved. $ $ * too short $ $ * Not ugly. $ $ * hmm..... its nice.. but it doesn't really go anywhere.. $ $ * just odd, didn't really like it $ $ * beep beep beep $ $ * Short, and at times annoying... :( $ $ * The samples sound worse than the original ones. What did $ $ he do with them? Don't like this one. Melody is weak, $ $ everything is weak. Argh, that "lead" hurts in my ear. $ $ * Little short $ $ * The intro and the proceeding melody were pretty dire, but the 2nd $ $ half in a minor really took the problems of the intro and told $ $ them where to stick it. $ $ * 60's MUSIC!! :) $ $ $ $ [.15.] mpfair2.it Airog & MPuffin (11.3333) $ $ $ $ * Piano jars with itself often and is randomly tracked, no variety $ $ * i hate country...
