Not a whole lot musically going on with this piece. It's really just something to listen to while playing a video game. It's actually quite boring and repetative, but there is a brief break in the middle. The usual acid test I have for musical quality in any techno piece is to get out my skateboard, burn the .mod onto a CD and skate to it. If it's comfortable skating with the music in my head, then I generally like the work. This was a reasonable piece to do some nice street skating to. Otherwise, there isn't much to the music worth writing home about. Nice sampling work! I do have to give credit to the composer for putting together a nice piece of tech work with smooth sampling, good use of tonal instrumentation, and a perfect segue from motif to bridge and back. Only complaint I have is the hi-hat sounds tinny and off center. Perhaps that's what the artist was going for, though.
