1Overall Description
I've asked Slammy to review this track right after my first listen, like I was compelled to. I felt I "had" to do this one. And honestly, I could think of a few things that didn't quite sound right to me, at first. But don't do that same error and download this, for it is as warm as a sunray through your window, on some sunny atfernoon..
 
2Creativity Description
This is highly creative, not in its style or arrangement, but in emotions and images, deliver thru different motives , variations and situations. And you play this crystal-clear piano so well; that last part, couple of minutes before the end, sounds like the last song of some rock-opera of the late 70's..
 
3Artistic License Description
Here is really the only real bug to me: the hat lines. Or line, I'd say. Whereas everything else is so nicely worked, thought out and put in scores, your hats seem "poor". No variation and it's a flat 2/2 all the way. And it strikes me even more during your breaks (01'02" - 01'28"), when hats is out. Got lazy on your hats, Slammy? ;)
 
4Arrangement Description
This flows all the way like a river. Lots of variations, transitions, tons of motives and moods and this is seaminglessly arranged, beginning with a pop-ish & a-la DeepForest beat and ending with some crazy pitch-tortured synthpops. Too bad you didn't bring them earlier in the song to add your I'm-30-but-I-don't-care touch.. ;)

My only minus would be here and there, the piano gets "lost" in the back (01'54" - 02'20", for instance) but that certainly doesn't kill the piece at all.
 
5Sound Quality Description
This is all good, but the real treat is the piano. Even if I wasn't so fond of piano soundings, I'd have to admit these piano melodies are a real delicacy for the ears.
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
Hehe, it sure does and more than that..
