Good work. Nice melodies and arrangements. But too bad you didn't mix it well. Warning: 1.8 GHz minimum to play.

Warning! huge CPU eater. Nevertheless a good piece, although I don't think I'd call it psy-trance, eventhough it has psychedelic elements. It got me thinking of demos actually, which I guess is the intention since the author categorises it as demomusic amongst others. :) Anyway, the mix is good, and the tune has a good, somewhat medeival, atmosphere. An interesting thing about this tune is that not a single channel is without some kind of track fx, and many of the channels are linked to some other channel. This also makes one wonder if all these track fx are neccessary, especially since the tune is something of an resource hog. For instance, what is the use of the track fx on channel 16? it's an low-pass filter with it's value set at 22050, no automation anywhere on the path, meaning in reality it doesn't do anything. In fact, I'd be very interested to know what the use of tracks 14-18 even are, since they all play instr 02, which in the pattern is set to 0 volume. Doesn't make sence to me... But I'd really be more than happy to know, so if you (the author) could explain it to me I'd be very happy (that is, if they have some function). Don't know what else to say, a good piece if you don't start to break down the technical stuff in it (which I sadly had to do since it is a CPU monster).

The Hyperion series books, SCiFI at his maximum fantasy. What about this music, I guess the title isn't an hazard effect or may be hazardous? Sounds like a JM Jarre tune (a compliment no?). The tunes lack some epic highs, but is the reflect of a precious work. I'll rate it good.

Well concerning this track it is difficult to tell something... The Discord is observed so frequently, that the impression of musical illiteracy and absence of the idea of a track is created.

style: electro-pop, atmospheric,demo-tune. again a professional sounder! a lot of work 4 my poor PC - crahsed sometimes (my system got problems with playing sounds, dont know why) after disabling effects i could listen to this atmospheric demo-like-tune! very powerful and nice.
