1Overall Description
There come times when it is very difficult to decide what exactly the perfect track is. Here is a piece of music that is not only unique, but also manages to create a VERY specific mood. To top things off, this piece also serves a very specific purpose, which it achieves very well.

First of all, the sound quality of this track is phenomenal. The individual instruments are well captured and portrayed here. They also manage to sit extremely well, filling the mix out beautifully. The instruments, although captured soundly, could use a little more articulations, especially in the staccato sections, for one.

The solid mix is also due to a very sound arrangement. Nothing is ill-chosen musically, all of the chords are well represented, and the primary and secondary layers sit very well on top of one another. There is no conflict between the individual instruments for their place in the music. There is one section where I feel there are a few too many symbols, yet they are placed so well in the mix that they cause no overbearing damage, leaving things sounding crystal clear.

Lastly, the creativity of this piece is simply stunning. The mood it creates is unique and fascinating, like something you'd hear in a child's dream. The orchestration is very similar to that of Nobuo Uematsu, with emphasis on woodwinds and percussion.

Overall, this is an excellent piece of music, and when asked to choose between a 4 or 5, I felt that it deserved the latter. Good work.

I have a hard time believing you wrote those other tracks as well. Excellent.
