I am proud of this one. It is quite finished, but criticism/advicment is always welcome :)

I used Audacity for voice clip recording and piece convertion to OGG
Free plugins you can hear:
Synth1 VST - all instuments
Classic Chorus/Delay/Reverb/EQ - salt etc.
Voxengo Boogex - more power for bass
Everything done on Ubuntu Studio :)
It starts very nice with fat sounds, but then a lead comes up with a kind of chiptune melody. A bit off the line.
And a small variation in the drum part couldn't harm. Things getting a bit off-beat at 4:12 for a short while.
Edit: it's very nice to add the .mptm version, but it lacks of course the VST plugins directly.
So a lot of extra dialogs are presented when opening with OMPT, about where to get the plugins.
I think it still is a bit of clumsy procedure to reconstruct a song in that way.
Even if you would have included those free plugins in the package, it would mean changing their path first in OMPT, to get it ok.
Thanks for noticies, Sam_Zen!
I consider making it shorter or more complicated a bit; maybe some drum solo or some ultra-brainmushing-hard tune to make more contrast for optimistic chip-tune.
The rythm change at 4:16 is that every 16-bar beat becomes shorter by 2 lines. So pattern is 56 bars long instead of 64. No changes with speed or tempo.
It's an experiment. Personally i think it is cool to brake rythm in that way.
I may be wrong of course.
The next version is coming up and right now i see there will be a lot of changes for you guys to hear :lol:
should i say Unfa (tm) sounding? You certainly have a interesting style developed. =)
More drum variations, as Sam stated, especially some "ride percussion" variations would come nice.
Do you mean the high percussion elements like hihats, cymbals etc.?
yes.
I really like the variations from when it gets dark around 3 minutes and after.
The low synth slide is very catchy too.
Thank you for your comments!!

So much time has passed that it's hard to remember everything that have been changed. I made more variations in rythm and melody, added some different elements - simply complicated the track :)
A lot has changed, maybe some more corrections and I'll call this one finished :)
I'am slowly getting fed up with this tune...
Nice improvements..
Fed up maybe because there's not much else you can do, it's ok as it is..
My suggestion about drum variations still stand for the period after 4:00.
