1Overall Description
Totally Kraftwerkian, with a sublte touch of 3rd millennium sounds, and this JM Jarre-like pad synth in the background. Pure electronica, good mix of "old" and "new" sounds, a real tribute to the Dusseldorf band.
 
2Creativity Description
The intro could have been worked a tad more, or is it this arpeggatior bouncing in twice that somehow bugs me. But once the intro is gone, the whole track expands progression after progression. Some good lines, bass and drums are maybe not the most innovative, but they do work very well as they are. I like the break, sort of alternating the mood into something more trancy. Great idea.
 
3Artistic License Description
Kraftwerk revisited by DeeKyoo: electro beats and moog lines at work! Very well done.
 
4Arrangement Description
Nothing wrong here, aside the intro which is, compared the overall quality of the track, a tad too "cheap". I keep wondering about this arp synth you sneak in twice, it just doesn't sound right as it is.
 
5Sound Quality Description
Lots of attention in this tune, balances, levels, samples and instruments, all worked and arranged in detail. The overall rendering is really pro.
 
6Vocals Description
We do have to stop those robots, indeed!

Good sampling, I don't know if you got those voices as is, or if you had to filter them (vocoder-ed or phased) but they blend in perfectly!
 
7Does it work as a piece of music Description
Yes, no hesitation, get this track on your playlist!

Hehe, I thought so, yes. Sort of a foretaste. Just, it could be done a little less "obviously", but again, I'm just being picky, there :p

i seen the synths in the intro as "a subtle taste of what's to come"

Thanks Cortoh I always love your constructive criticism. And for the record Kraftwerk was why i started producing in the first place!
