1Overall Description
Melodically a bless. This is how a good melodic based trance should sound like. Full rhythmics with hard kick and saw bass but yet very mellow and soft in it's melodic body. I also did enjoy those percussions that add spice to it all during the break section.

Beatings are very moving and work fine as an ignition source for the dance floor, yet in betweens those melodic section and that more orient based melody maybe a change of snare to clap would make the whole theme sound even more fresh. The work of hi-freq such as hi-hats is absolutely in place as they are not annoying nor repetitive. A variety in hi-hat lines are almost a must in order to make an interesting sound, which you have done here so beautifully.

Melodies are varied and actually very interesting. The music has it's nature in more melodic/dream trance style. Yet the melodies are not what give the music such feels, it's in their shape shifting that all becomes visible. The multi-influenced melodies are awesome, and that's what made me rate this song 5 stars. I love the orient part in this dream trance, indicating that middle east sound not only can be part of west sound, but makes it even more beautiful. Absolutely great stuff Ashyimpala.

The bass system, is of the average style and stuff, where in between kick and snare a line of bass is attached in order to move the song in one direction. The bass chosen and used in this one is clever though. The low freq of the music is actually both audible and felt, indicating that usage of bass is both clever and in order.

The breaks are another work of a master, you have placed the breaks in such order that the music never gets annoying, boring or repetitive. Great work again Ashyimpala.

3Arrangement Description
The arrangements are what make this one unique. Along side the western melodic trance, orient melodies are played and they go hand in hand.

The transitions between section are flawless, and the between breaks into music everything goes into a nice blend not to destroy the feelings. The breaks into music is followed by the bass in a "scream" shape which is an absolutely nice way to "drag and drop" the music in place.

Samples sound proper, the balancing has been done correct for samples and the panning for the song work fine as they are not "visible" but heard beyond what ears can do. (odd way of explaining things I know ;o)).
