This was a well done piece as well, and different from the others so far -- I think this one contained less filters and more fades and transitions between regular tracks of music.
I liked the way it was crafted and especially the main song that you can hear throughout it's entirety, the old-style almost 30-40's sounding music (i don't know which era it is, but that's what i'd guess!)
My favorite part was the ending, I think. I really enjoyed when the almost foreign track came on, with the light sound of the main song in the background -- the harmony of the singing and the old style sound/piano mixed well and leveled off the composition in a nice manner.
If I had to suggest a part to work on more, it'd probably be the beginning, with only a slight comments about some volume issues...I feel like my left ear overall had a lot more going on, and might need to balance a little more. No necessarily in the same spot, but just a little further down the road.
Wow! I love foreign music, so I'm really glad it was kind of like the focus for this piece. This piece had extremely good transitions, especially at the very end where it went from the last French song and changed into the soft piano sounds.
Wow. I really liked this piece mainly the way it was crafted with a number of songs going on at once. But it wasn't overwelling, they all really flowed together nicely so I could pick out individual songs but also listing to all of them at once. I think to develop it, this piece could have used some more songs overlappiing in the ending part, because it seemed to just play one song and then fade into another with was different from the first where the songs where all playing and overlaping each other. But overall I really enjoyed it.
Really good flow of transition, I like how it doesn't sound like I would expect this project to sound. Which shows me not to assume what something should be... I really like the choice of fragments you chose to use foreign music and old school 40's style created really mellow but still complex listening.
I very much enjoyed your use of both modern and older music and how you mixed them together. I also found it very interesting that you used people singing. I loved how all the voices played off each other and intermingled together. It gave me the feeling of walking through a crowd and being able to hear all these different conversations going on at once. It was especially intriguing to me how different element were able to push through. I found myself interacting a lot with this aspect of the piece and trying to pick out certain words and phrases.
I think the overlaying was great, and the myriad of songs you used made things interesting. The french/40's singing made me thing of old movies I used to watch. The whole thing felt really easy going, but it was interrupted by the contemporary artists you put in. I liked how the drums and guitar pieces added melody, and the french contemporary song at the end sort of tied together the 40's music and the contemporary samples from before. However it ended kind of suddenly, and I dont know if that's how you wanted it, or if it ended suddenly because you wanted to add more. I generally liked it.

Good job!
