Sounds like: Fatboy Slim on a diet

Good:
Beats, funky guitar loops and vocals result in a song that has a distinct drive. Very own identity and style. Professional sound quality. The apache drumloop always is a killer.

Points of improvement:
The bassdrum would not have been my choice. It sounds different than the other drum samples used, resulting in a lack of blending in. It lacks its distinct own place inside the song. Since the bassdrum is so important for breaks, this is quite a pity.
The entire song sounds somewhat dry. Some strings or stabs would have been nice to combine the dust with some fresh influences. Not the entire song should contain them, but especially the moments where the main theme drops away a bit, some strings would have been nice for variation.

Apollo440 was what jumped to mind immediately when I heard this tune the first time. Strong quitar riffs, fast drums, and distant submelodies with a funky bassriff. I like the energy the tune has, the drums and the guitar really drive the tune forward and keep things interesting all the way through. It's a shame the drums have been programmed using loops, because I would have been really interested in seeing how these kinds of drums are programmed in madtracker. Sample quality is great btw., as are the mixlevels, and the mix in general also.

I would have liked a slightly wider stereoimage on the lead instruments. The track sounds a bit centered now, with only the percussions being well panned out. Also, I think some more reverb on the vocals could have been good. Nothing much, just something to keep them from sounding totally dry.

Overall, a very cool piece of music. To be honest I wouldn't mind having a mastered version of this one on my HDD. Good work, keep it up!
