Thank you very much for the review Sam! The production part hurted a lot :P I listened to it in my car's audio, and I think I have too much res on one of my filters. I'll take a look at this. In my headphone it sounds a lot clearer. I should have listened to it in my car before midnight the final day :)

I take note of what you say to me, thanks for the tips, the encouragements and the compliments, it's truly appreciated coming from you.

Noisysundae responds:

Woah, the rubric was very clear and I can understand how my piece goes even before I read the comments. A lot of thanks for this!

I'm still trying to achieve the ability to make that 'hummable, singable melody' type of writing. (Sorry for the imitation here, I can't think of another word for it. :P) Perhaps my writer's block isn't really broken since this track needs more variation. Guess it's time to learn more about music theory.
