1Overall Description
An absolutely wonderfully built d'n'b tune with an excellent rhythm and just fantastic Arabic edge. The bass line is perfect. The progression throughout the song is excellent as also the transitions. The subtleties that you hear are fantastic. The violin is phenomenal and is one of the keys to the Arabic side of this song. The bongos in the background are perfectly integrated and smooth flowing with the rhythm - outstanding!
 
2Arrangement Description
The arrangement is excellent. The song is structured very well and flows wonderfully together. You don't get bored with this tune. Although there is one part that seems to stand out a tad that is an issue with me. The violin between 3:41-3:45 does not sound quite right, like there is a note or two that sounds out of key with the rest of the melody.
 
3Sound Quality Description
The quality of the samples are superb. The production quality is professional. You can't ask for a better built product. Everything mixes well together in harmony. There's nothing that jumps out as too loud or gets muddled into the depths of the tune. There's one thing that I noticed, and it's probably just me nit-picking, but I noticed some crackling and popping with the bass line especially noticable between 1:44-1:56 when everything else is quiet. I think that this is just the distortion used that's generating this - not a big deal but I'd figure I would still mention it anyways.
 
4Does it work as a piece of music Description
This most certainly works as a piece of music. This tune brings very much enjoyment and is beautiful in it's own right. I had added this to my collection.
