1Overall Description
I often say that when it comes to music - less is more. This track is sheer brilliance in that regard. Beautifully background strings accompanied by sweeping loops that switch in their resonance and arpeggio, very Robert Miles-esque. And for me that's a good thing.
 
2Creativity Description
Many people will find it strange that I consider such a simplistic song, because it is, to be very creative. But I do. Creativity doesn't show because you use a lot of varied sections and different melodies, creativity comes when you can listen to a song from start to finish and enjoy every single second. With this piece that's just what I'm doing.
 
3Artistic License Description
All the sounds flow in and out of each other in a seamless matter. No boundaries are pushed to any extraordinary length with this track, it has surely been heard before, but there's no denying the fact that she song still shows originality in its own regard.
 
4Arrangement Description
All about the arrangement is flawless, I don't find anything that shouldn't be where it is.
 
5Sound Quality Description
Instruments are very well balanced and mix great with each other. What I like about this track is that's very difficult to really analyze all the musical layers being used, without cluttering the song. That takes skill. The only thing I wished for was to have more punch in the bass drum (deeper). That would have brought me, and the track, to a whole other level.
 
6Vocals Description
The use of vocals really remind me a lot of the ambient/new-age tracks of the 90's, and even some of my own songs that I wrote many years ago. Just the use of scattered vocal patterns without any real meaning, they just added great dynamic and feel. It does the same thing here. :)
 
7Does it work as a piece of music Description
Certainly.
