I like the refreshing guitars at the beginning and the melodic lines. The electronic instruments at :30 were a bit of a surprise, but they fit into the texture well. The production quality is great here, btw. The additional layer of harmonies at 1:15 is a nice touch in the midst of a good amount of repetition. I like the breakdown at 1:30, which gave the piece some structural contrast that made the final refrain feel even more climactic. The melodies at 1:51 are great, and I love the rhythmic content at around 2:10. The ending came on a little suddenly, but overall the piece has a smooth flow too. This is a really feel-good sort of track. Nice work, Depard! ^_^

Really cool guitar melody! And indeed the hybridization with chiptune worked quite well.
Very upbeat everything.

I almost sense a slight celtic riverdancey vibe in that electric guitar.

Great song!

Your instruments r generally gr8, but using no real e guitar is always a problem: e guitar made of samples or synth will never sound authentic and sometimes wrong. anyway u tried it. Maybe playing real eguitar will help? nonetheless nice work, sir.

Sounds really good. $18 seems like a fair price, too.
