1Overall Description
Hmm. The concept of using only one synth plugin to make all the sounds for a track is a nice one, but has it's limitations soundwise, as good sounding drums are really hard to synthesize, at least with only one synth. In this track the drums aren't in the main role though, so that doesn't matter so much. I especially liked the lead piano-sounding instrument, and the background strings, but somehow the tune seems to float around a bit aimlessly, not reaching a real climax - hence the average score.
 
2Creativity Description
This section drops the score for me quite a lot - the track sounds very much alike Plaid's "Parts in the process" remix album, sound, melody and -structurewise. There is really nothing new for me here, except the synthesized drum sounds, so I can't help but drop the score.
 
3Arrangement Description
Smooth transitions all around, the tune flows well from the beginning to the end.
 
4Sound Quality Description
Despite the wee bit "plastic" sound the song has, it is quite amazing that all the sounds are from one plugin, even though they tend to sound a bit presetish. The intruments are well balanced, but perhaps they could've been placed on the stereo spectrum a bit more experimentally - that would've given the tune an edge soundwise and made it more interesting.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
Yes, it does, but in my opinion it doesn't really add anything new to the genre. Pehaps a little more tweaking with the plugin and this would've been a wholly different experience.
