The tune has a nice and warm sound to it, probably mostly because of the trumpet-like sounds used.

It doesn't sound finished though. The ending I think is partly the reason for this, because it's so far from the rest of the song. If after this ending theme, the main theme was introduced once more to finish things of it could have worked, but now it leaves this "and then what" thought after itself. It's more like the tune would consist of two tunes and the first one then at some point goes into the next, but the next tune isn't played out in full, instead faded out pretty quickly. It's a bit like the author ran out of ideas, and decided to quickly fade away the tune to get rid of the problem.

Instrument 10 sounds wrong somehow. It's too loud and is placed in such a manner that it makes it sound as if the whole tune was set on pause for just a fraction of a second before it hits. It sort of kills the flow.

The bassdrum could use a bit more variation IMO. The drums in general could use more variation. Sure, alot of sounds are played, but they play the same pattern almost over the whole song. Samples are of good quality, but some of them are played in such a manner that they sound to be of bad quality in the mix instead. Instrument 08 for instance is played at a note that's way much lower then it was originally intended for, which makes it sound to be of bad quality. Instead, another sample should have been chosen to do the task.
The stereofield of the tune is pretty good.

Other than this, I can't think of anything to say. It's a nice tune, but it lacks all those little things that make a tune great. It has a bit too much repetition of the same things for my tastes, even though it's not that long, barely 3 minutes. The fact that it doesn't sound finished don't make things better. But still, the potential is definetly there :)

Not bad, but not interesting. I had the feeling of "deją vu". So this deserves a medium plus notation, but I have no desire to ear it one more time.

This misses the lyric side of music that can transport you wherever it wants you to go.

That is the case of most of the tunes posted at this point of the compo. Remember you have enough time to do a magic job.

A little bit out-of-date type arrangement and monotonous solo create impression, that the idea is not modified. Though the composition could be made a hit at more modern arrangement.
