1Overall Description
Really good track, combining different genres, and nicely done. Sounds, arrangements, sampling and mastering, all was very well thought. Aside a couple of minor things that'd be worked a tad more in detail, maybe.
 
2Creativity Description
Some attempts were already made before, mixing new electro-based sounds with tibetan music a/o voices. But this piece did it in a very surprising way, walking off the usual techno path, it goes into a funky, groovy avenue. Great idea, very well done!
 
3Artistic License Description
This was pushed to its edge, and further. Each part works as a whole, and combined together in an unexpected style.
 
4Arrangement Description
When the beat kicks in (1.39min), it's a real treat. Just a few minor things, though: a few extra lengths here and there, and the track could be shorten down to +6.30 mins. And could be lacking of some finesse as to how you introduce the monk voices. A touche of subtility here would add more "power" to the "monk" presence. I'm not too sure about the echo effect on the beat, at 4.52-ish, and as well as with the way it kicks in again, at 4.59min.
 
5Sound Quality Description
FX are use parsely and wisely, drum sets are just right on, tibetan winds, during the intro, are simply great.
 
6Vocals Description
Did the vocals fit the genre? Yes. -- Did the vocals make the song better? Yes. -- Do the vocals make the song unique? Hmmm.. yes! :p
 
7Does it work as a piece of music Description
Without a doubt, yes, this works very well. Only 2 things might need some fixing, if any: shorten here and there some parts (like the outro), and re-think that last part, after 5.00min. This is the only "flaw" I could see/hear, in this track: Voices and beats are not totally in phase, then.
