Digital Coma

What we've got here is a well-arranged mix with sub-par instruments. Almost all of the prominent samples sound dry and canned, even General MIDIish. The intro starts off with some interesting percussion, but unfortunately later on past the transitions devolves into dull drum loops. The guitars, especially when distorted, are of very low sonic quality, lacking any oomph or body and with too much sustain applied to them. The transitions are very stop and go. I can deal with that, but they're also rather bland, with at most three layers at a time, and some leads colliding on the same notes. Many samples are simply overplayed with little variation or proper panning, such as the hi-hats, chromatic percussion, and brass. Finally, the "victory fanfare" ending is unnecessarily prolonged. I see potential here. Most of the sequencing is tight, and the medley is pleasingly arranged. I recommend an overhaul to your samples with some decent soundfonts and with more finely tuned DSP. NO

This just makes me want to wander the proverbial green field, with a happy-go-lucky sun overhead, light clouds passing through a bright blue sky, while whistling a lazy summer tune. Memories of yesteryear PBS cartoons are given shape and a quiet smile flutters quickly on my face. Stomp the Summer Sky, if anything else, brings back the care-free happiness of childhood for a joyous three and a half minutes.

I am liking this mix, as I'm a fan of unique combos of otherwise standalone instruments. It's fun and enjoyable, good work.
