I could only detect 3 flaws in this track: - a not enough present bassdrum - an odd snare sound, a bit too present - a badly looped string Otherwise, I've nothing to say except that it is an amazing piece of track! Besides the snare, the samples are very nice. The use of multi-samples contributes to the realism of the sound. The melodies are simply great. The arrangement as well. The MadTracker features are pretty well used. Besides the reverb, not much effects are used. But I don't think it's necessary for this kind of music. There are 6 reverb tracks, so be careful if you have a not-so-new PC. Meelena, we want more! ;)

A nice, happy tune here. Goes to prove that more isn't always better. And this type of tune certainly isn't heard very often in these scenes. The atmosphere of this one is great IMO. A bit cafe del marish actually. The drums are a bit of an issue though. The snare sounds a bit too electronic for this kind of tune, it doesn't fit. And it's a bit loud, it takes too much space away from the nice melodies. The basskick again could use a bit more volume, or maybe better yet, use another sample. It tends to dissapear into the bassline played by instr. 08. In general I think the tune could use more panning, placing the instruments more into the stereofield. Everything seems very centered now. But all in all, it's a very nice tune.

Everything that has "Avalon" somewhere sounds interesting to me. May be because I was the only translater of the 'Roman de Brut' the oldest book about the Arturian's part of the Avalon's tales. Very feminine isn't it? Not surprising "Elena"? The sample set isn't really good, but the tune goes the road fine. The song name probably has nothing to do with Avalon. However, the tune sounds fine but I did not find fun in its listening. Seems out of age.

This track of me has surprised with much... 21mB, but I am not disappointed. First if I am not mistaken, Elena, you the girl. Never met girls who writes music in tracker. :) Second when I began to listen to a composition, I was pleasantly surprised, that the displaced rhythm 3/4 is used... It in tracker to achieve difficultly enough, and I was surprised with a method, which you used. It is a real waltz! Style of a composition is very close to celtic ethnic. Arrangement powerful enough and really sounds as a symphonic orchestra. Originality? This composition - originality. The first composition in it compo in which there is a bright and beautiful theme though also I others would choose tools for it... My impression - a composition becomes a hit for fans of music of such style. Quality high enough, but is some defects. Sound effects and opportunities of Mad Tracker are used if not on 100 %, on 90 %. Though it is strange, that some commands are registered in style Fast Tracker.
