1Overall Description
A darkly funky and melodic industrial-tech style affair that breathes with weird energy. This track seethes with multiple layers of sound and nice, crunchy distortion, but manages to avoid sounding too thick or too muddy in the overall mix. The artist's promise of vocals seems almost unnecessary as the piece seems to have a finished feel to it as is and would work quite wells as a pure instrumental.
 
2Creativity Description
This track has all kinds of interesting varations on the drumbeat and the bassline. It also has a great flow of melody- there's a repeated refrain throughout the song, but there's so many little transitions and variations on the theme that the listener is left with no choice but to stick around. Definitely interesting to listen to.
 
3Arrangement Description
There are a lot of transition points in the song, all executed flawlessly- but at times it feels like the artist is reaching for a little too hard for a state of continuous flux. It makes for a little bit of frantic feel to it, as the song never seems to fully settle into any one particular groove. Of course, there are to be vocals added, and something tells me that will tie things together nicely.
 
4Sound Quality Description
Overall, excellent sound quality and excellent blend of synthetics and semi-organic elements (is that a guitar or a heavily distorted bass synth?). The two play nicely off of each other and sound great together. The kick drum is a little bit on the flat side, particularly in the balls-to-the-wall end section- but that's just the opinion of a man who prefers a nice, beefy kick in his mixes.
