Awesome work... again! :)

This was pretty good. I liked your other version better, but this is still pretty good :)

brilliant

sounds awesome, has a hint of a primal setting in the drums, and a more refined attitude in the wind and strings the combination works great

Not bad at all...

I dunno who zero'd you, but that really wasn't deserved.

I can only see two areas for improvement myself - the first is the hi notes at about 34-55 seconds - the quality of those notes doesn't quite fit the other instruments.

The other is the rythem section. It would probably sound a little more real if you added some more layers and varied the timing a bit between those layers, so that it sounds more like a natural play. At the moment the timings just sounds a little too clinical.

Then again, I'm not exactly an expert in this stuff. Probably better ways of doing that. XD

Other than those, it is a good peice. Consistent, mixed well, and something that can be built off. Thats pretty much exactly what you want in a theme.

Very nice

I'm not a big man in making music so i cant give you any pointers or such but i would like to say that this is a very nice piece of work. But some parts could use work. Keep up the good work.

A real driven energy. Simple but powerful orchestr

When I first heard it, it was a letdown compared to the original - I was just hoping for more fun techno goodness and was disappointed. Coming to it again now, though, I can enjoy it for what it is. A thoroughly driving piece.

This definitely has more of a dramatic feel than v1 - specially with the samples you used for the beats. I'm not sure I like the clicky clap that you use at the end of every 2nd bar though.

I love the introduction, with a couple of bars of the beats solo. The end sounded abrupt for a long time though (basically until I knew to expect it, by which time most of its effectiveness was already gone) - maybe having a cymbal or another extra-loud/resonating when the tune 'dies' would help make it feel less abrupt. yeah, it's slightly cliche, but it works. Love the extra beats after the 'death' though.

Maybe you could have fitted in an extra counter-melody at points, in the bg?

The strings do seem to lead towards an increasing tempo and they're probably my favourite element. I like how the whole thing is relatively simple but has this driving force behind it. I couldn't see myself deleting this file.

A very thorough review, thank you Bezman!
