1Overall Description
Very cleanly produced trance with a very spunky and catchy lead.
Sounds a lot like older dutch trance and a tad ATB-ish in mood (though not nearly as modern). Picks that kinda 90's "you and me together", almost Kylie Minogue-ish (sp.?) kind of vibe and runs with it...
 
2Creativity Description
can thank the smart layering of melodies and changing of instrumental atmospheres (IE the
triangle wave-ish lead from the beginning of the song, arpeggiating analogue bass-line synth, sweep synth from :55, echoing claps and more, saw lead from 1:25 that modulates from about 1:50...that it manages to keep the fact the song stays within the same 5 chords from making it boring while staying deep within "pop ethics" (which I assume was the artist's intention)
 
3Artistic License Description
As stated in #2, this is all quite standard...put it this way it would work well at a 80's/early 90's style club or on a cruise ship but, beyond that atmosphere, people would likely have a great time dancing to it but then soon forget it.
 
4Arrangement Description
Works much the same as my score on creativity, well "foundation-ed" use of several stereotypical dance elements cleverly add enough variation to keep what would be a one melody wonder from falling stale.
 
5Sound Quality Description
Yes, some may complain it's very early 90's ish in style, but it's crystal clear and very accurately nails the token spunky mood of that era.
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
All in all not much to suggest on this one except to build it up into more moods, assuming Output Jack is/was going for the 90's dance sound in this one.
As stands it works very well as a radio-friendly dance song, but lacks originality and mood development....the good news is it sounds very solid and adding new "tints" to the mood should not prove tough and in no way says Output Jack is a "3-rated artist".
