1Overall Description
Destination Phoenix by grip is a well-made, high-quality track. The author tells us that this piece was originally written for a game, a fact which explains and justifies the rather repetitive nature of it. This song would indeed fit well in a computer game, but does not do as well as an entertaining experience. I can immediately tell that grip is a talented and trained composer, but apart from being a good mood-setter for a space inspired computer game, this song does little to inspire my senses. However, this track is made for a computer game, and it serves it purpose very well.
 
2Creativity Description
One can definitely tell that a lot of thought has been put into the percussive parts of this piece. I would agree that it would take a somewhat creative mind to assemble and arrange the drums and drumlines in this track, but I still feel that a more melodic touch and less repetitive arrangement would have lifted this song up a level.
 
3Arrangement Description
The arrangement of this track is good. Nice transitions between parts and nice use of sound effects to build up the overall atmosphere. Everything works well together.
 
4Sound Quality Description
I am not the right person to talk about mixing and mastering, but to my untrained ears, the overall sound quality of this piece is perfect.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
This piece would work well in a space-type game, but is a little bit too repetitive, even for a game. An ounce more of variation and a little bit more melody would have earned this track a 5 in this section.
