1Overall Description
An enjoyable dubby-esque track which is kept interesting throughout and seems to pushing a whole host of new ideas every second. Where it gains for intelligent melodic play, it lacks in production - it seemed to me like it was a bit over zealous in places, and perhaps subtle adjustments throughout the track would've really made it sound fuller. The percussion was really well done, and the sounds used and the quality of them were top notch. Some questionable samples, but all-in-all a good solid piece of music.
 
2Creativity Description
Lots of great ideas in here, but at times they do not fill their potential. The audience can guess what's going to happen next, and there are no real explosive surprises.
 
3Arrangement Description
I would suggest some subtle production work as it does sound messy at points. Some adjustment of volume, and I think some EQ-induced madness would not go a-miss as some parts feel a little muddy. I feel it would really pump it up and make it into the track it should be. The percussion and drums are excellent, but they kick in a bit too strongly in my opinion. Some samples do not seem to fit as they would like, and maybe this is perhaps just to the volumes that seem to incorrectly match between some groups of sounds.
 
4Sound Quality Description
Excellent sound quality but as I said above if there was some more EQ-ing it'd really do the job. A proper mastering session would solve the niggles of this track.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
It does indeed, and with nice vibes too. I love dub and anything that sounds remotely dubby, perhaps we could have pushed this theme even more? Some more delay-lines would've given it more a jumpy, dubbed-out feel. Still, it works strongly in the jungley atmosphere :)
