A trance tune, a bit oldschool tracker trance actually.

Sample quality isn't the best, sampling rate varies from 8kHz up to 44.1kHz, and unfortunately you can hear it. Samples that should be of high quality, like the piano, are of low quality. The drumprogramming leaves much to ask for, most of the time it's your basic kick-hihat combo, sometimes a slightly more variating drumloop is used. The melodies used sound very familiar, I could almost guess every note.

I like the background pads, and the panning of them. They really manage to give the song more depth.

The vocal stab I would have left out. Overused, low quality, and too obvious.

Overall, the tune leaves much space for improvement, especially in the quality department. Originality is something that's also lacking in this one, especially in the drums and bassline department. It's ok to listen to, but I doubt many people will remember the tune after listening to it. Technical potential is there however.

Starts out with nice quality sounds, but proceeds with a poor quality breakbeat that isn't synced accurately. Average mix, and not a very original composition.
