Classy

Kind of sounds like an 8-bit sounding song. However since it appears you used MIDI it still sounds good. Reminds me of a couple of the latter levels in Donkey Kong Country 2 which tended to annoy me heavily with those stupid kremlins, oh well. This turned out quite now.

Also on a side note it also makes me think of the Topolla theater in Earthbound as well, very nice nostagilic tune.

Jazz MIDI Retro? I can't describe it.

At first, I was a bit confused by the song. The instrumentation was interesting, but not the most pleasing mix. I found the brass to be a little too noticeable; rather than being a compliment, it could come off as overbearing. However, something needs to carry the tune, so it got the job done.

The percussion was a high point. It kept the song going, and the mix of instruments lent itself to the composition quite nicely. I think I heard a woodblock, and if I did, it was an excellent choice.

My biggest complaint is that the song doesn't loop properly. When it plays over and over, there is an incredibly noticeable fall back to the beginning. I'm not sure what you can do about it, but it really kills the potential the song had for something to be listened to for minutes at a time. I still enjoyed listening to the loop, though.

not bad,

the reggae style section sounded good, works well as a loop. the only thing id say is that the horn section seemed a little overpowering in comparisso to the backing track, and i think as a loop in a game or something it would become very annoying

it also felt very sequenced, and the instrument sounds were very midi based. a good tip is to look for a recording programme that you can import parts into, then when you have imported each part into there individualy eq the parts and use some subtle effects to help make them feel a bit more realistic.

Meh

It's okay, but overall not that moving in my opinion. The beginning sounds okay, I have no complaints about that at all really. It's when the horn comes in that it sounds almost a tad bit obnoxious. It just doesn't sound like a very pleasant kind of horn, it sounds like the kind of horn that makes me reach for the volume knob to turn it down, so in my opinion, I'd turn it down a tad. The background horn is fine to me.

It's an okay loop, it doesn't make much sense to me to loop the way it does, but I suppose it works alright. The instruments sound okay though...the poppy bass line sounds okay to me, as well as the mellow percussion, and the background horn - just the main blaring horn is a bit overkill to me. Sounds too alarming.

Overall not a bad little tune though, just nothing really special either.

Rather nice

The intro was okay, I mean, It was just there, It didn't do a whole lot for me, but being as it's a loop, It's perfectly fine, I just wish it would build into something.

The drums parts were perfectly fine, they were a little hard to hear, and to be completely honest, rather bland, but apart from that, they were completely fine, and did their job of keeping the song on pace and on track.

The bass wasn't really to my taste, It was rather clunky feeling, It sort of worked with this quality, but I feel changing the tone of the bass would make for a much smoother experience, and just make the song more pleasant as a whole.

The horn section could be better, It sounded incredibly synthesised, these parts are somewhat of a minefield, you have tot hink about the particular dynamics of the instrument you're trying to mimic, you wouldn't here a flute using barré chords, so don't play them as part of a midi piece (That was just an example) Not only that, I feel that section should have been longer somewhat.

As a loop, It works to a certaine xtent, you really need to fix the timings on it, so it loop properly.
