I love the ominous mood, and the reverb/delay effects really help to support that mood. The harmonies were good, and the instruments also enjoyably contributed to the mood. It is a little repetitive, but I can vividly imagine this as background music to a montage of a person slowly getting addicted to caffeine. I love music that puts vivid imagery into my head! That one synth melody that comes in at :13 also reminds me of a creepy carnival! XD The distorted drums and contrastingly light piano really add to the mood. You have an excellent sense of harmony and progression. It also loops quite well. You may be in the Underdog group, but there are clearly some advanced compositional qualities here. The fact that you disclose the key in the description already tells me that you know a lot about music, and the reverb, delay, and solid mixing quality tells me that you know your way around your DAW as well. Excellent work. Also, you have just enough structural relief in here (i.e., 1:44) to give this a very pleasing progression and flow, too. Keep up the great work, Stapless! I have a feeling we're going to be hearing some more pieces from you for this competition. ;D
