Lots of sounds at the same time which makes it a little messy and difficult to comprehend. But the melody is good and the instruments fit well together. It's not very different compared to other songs in the same genre and it doesn't show that much new sides, that I've never heard before.
Nice paino-theme which fits in pretty well with the trance-leads. But there are to many sounds at the same time, as I said before.
The only effect used is the delay. Try some of the other effects in your next work.

Well, yet another trance tune...

Orginality
It's average in it's orginality, nothing fancy, nothing stands out realy.
You can try experimenting with sounds, do crazy things to your tracks, that'll make it all a lot more exiting.

Theme
The theme is quite good, it has a nice ring to it, but it won't stay in my head for long, and that is whats needed in a commercial trance track.
Also it lacks a sertain amount of 'impact' it's all a bit in the background.

Arrangment
The melody part is for an tracked trance tune ok.
But you realy need to work on your drums, a Boom Ching Boom Ching beat is just to easy, try a nice loop to spice things up in your track.

Technical
Well, not much of the madtracker fx's are used, the delay is used, and this quite good, because it fills up the silent parts, but you could try some filters, you can realy create a lot of cool fx's with them.

quality
The samples in this track are realy good, not the best but your getting there, you could however used some pre-production ie. putting some reverb over the clap sample.

Global
Not a bad track, but it lacks sertain elements that make a good track, if you'll work on those elements your tracks will be really good.
Keep on tracking!

This trance track proves once more that using a piano won't do your song any good. With nowadays sources of instruments (softsynths, 'hard'synths', internet) I really find it the easiest and least creative way to use a piano. Besides the choice of instrument the piano melody is also rather loud and unstructured. Positive is the melody itself and the mood it creates, because it's actually rather good. The sawsynth which functions as both bassline and second leadsynth is also very nice to listen to. The overall atmosphere is dull, with a almost complete lack of fx/speech/new sounds to create both atmosphere and identity. The beats normal, but the variations are almost zero.
Last thing I noticed was the end, which uses a fade out and which came rather suddenly.

To the artist; find your own, unique instruments. Work on the mix of volumes/panning and the way to transform a melody in your head into a melody in a tracker. The melody really deserves attention for it having potential, but it just isn't worked out properly. Try ending your song not with a fade out (it doesn't suits this song), but with the bassdrum, the bassline and a thin string.
