1Overall Description
This could go major label...it nails all the current dance trends and comes across as very relaxed, almost effortless. The cymbals slip by on 16-th note shuffles, the ghost notes shift on by, the instruments fade out and attack at very natural settings, the whole thing ticks like clockwork...as if ATB had written it himself.
 
2Creativity Description
This gets me a bit...the mood is scarcely different than in the original and there is nothing significantly different in here from that original.

I keep on hoping a soft/original break-beat or a non-background modified string section to come in and put an "edge" on the original song's mood...but it never does.
 
3Artistic License Description
This shows that the Marc Shake really felt the original when he heard it and could put all the pieces together to recreate the mood. However, it does not improve on ATB's original.
 
4Arrangement Description
Although it captures the cleanness and beauty of the original the lack of many extra or different elements from the original leaves me a bit disappointed.
 
5Sound Quality Description
It sounds like ATB arranged it...pure and simple: fairly minimalistic but so clear every slightest detail (shuffles, ghost notes, portamentos, etc.) shows through very strongly.
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
I'm pretty sure a DJ could take this track, swap it in place of the original, and the crowd wouldn't know the difference...that's the quality here.
