1Overall Description
I had high hopes for this one...has a very catchy melodic hook, a strong mood (think Astral Projection's Dancing Galaxy ambient piece), and some very amusing drum rotations, although very late on in a very long song.

Unfortunately, this progression is limited to a 3 second loop and 2 chords, only changing at 5:00 and to a very dissonant (and dissonantly mooded) melody...so while the melody does get stuck in your head the song doesn't exactly evolve your mood positively.
 
2Creativity Description
Some props are due here for the excellent drum work near the end, like the bass-kick rolls at around 1:30 and the snare echoes around 6:00. However technique does not ultimately translate into emotion, leaving this tune feeling a bit soul-less. The good news is the strong melodic hook in this song has the capability to be stretched (maybe to a slightly lighter side the same way Keith 303 does in his tunes) into second and likely third melodies (a track this long needs at least 2 and more likely 3 melodic parts to hold interest for it's full 7:00+ length).
 
3Artistic License Description
The melody is fully original and mood (though undeveloped) is also quite original and very easily recognizable. This could be the start of a great song, though it sounds very underdeveloped at this points.
 
4Arrangement Description
The leads sound a bit too buzzy in style to be clear (maybe a bit closer to industrial-style than psy-ambient) and the bell sounds very shaky (a lighter, dreamier bell sound would help here). On the other hand, some of these quirks partly contribute to the darkness of the mood in this track.
 
5Sound Quality Description
Same problems as mentioned in #4...using a band elimination filter on the lead would help clarify it a lot without removing the original deep, dark sound it has.
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
It shows this composer definitely has skill...but it's essentially about 3 minutes worth of creativity and one melodic hook stretched into 7 minutes of ambience (after 3:00 it begins to feel a bit boring due to the length).

The good news is, given some melodic variety (and most likely having the drumline start after 2 minutes instead of 5 or 6) this song has the mood and melodic hook to become a huge hit.

My point was to make repetitive song, little bit monotonic...that could be played for the end of some album. It's meant to be "outro", which is far too long ;)
