| 1 | Overall   | Description |
| To my mind, new age/chillout/ambient/etc categories are some of the hardest to get right; mostly because the music is usually so laid back and stripped down that if you don't work really hard on all the little details it feels like an unfinished track. While I wouldn't go so far as to call this one unfinished, I think it could have benefitted a lot from some more tinkering. Maybe it's just that the samples (although top notch at the time this was originally released) now sound slightly outdated, and let's face it - the Enigma drumbeat sounded a lot cooler 10-15 years ago than it does now. Nevertheless, the song is very competently done, and is sure to appeal to anyone with a taste for early Enigma. | ||
| 2 | Creativity | Description |
| I am aware the the genre restrictions calls for smaller variations, but I still have the feeling more could be done here. The drumbeat is well thought up, and features some great percussion throughout. However, the lack of a melodic main instrument means that at times I'm listening to just a pad with an elaborate rhythm on top; the song could benefit from some variation. | ||
| 3 | Vocals | Description |
| The spoken-word vocals are done very well. They are a bit cheesy yet go well with the genre, and the message conveyed in the words comes across very nicely. | ||
