This is really simple, there's hardly anything here. I suppose the drums are interesting, but this mix is like a person trying to take the last bits of meat from the chickenbones that someone else has already chewed on.

NO

hmm...this mix is unorganized. he has afew different ideas going on at the same time that might not completely suck separately, but they fit like a midget in a diving suit.

its spastic. it doesnt make sense. i cant tell whats going on. this makes me hurt.

and there really just isnt much here. and it repeats. and it repeats.


NO

A fairly empty sounding mix. Generally we have bass and percussion and that's about it (well, except for the "groovy" pads).

But just looking at what's here there are some problems. For instance the bass is a bit muddy sounding and cluttered- and for a very obvious reason. You have a typical bass synth providing the harmonic basis for the piece, and in the same octave with similar sounding bass synths you have the melody going. The end result is a blob of undefined noise in the lower registers.

The percussion is also pretty straightforward and doesn't really add much to the mix.

I'll have to say:

NO

delay-breaker: No

Appears to be too minimalist, with not enough substance. I concur with the judges comments' above.
