1Overall Description
Starst off with nice sweeping synths and a mellow guitar melody, from which the guitar evolves to bossanova -influenced riff. The elements work well together - the guitar gives a nice contrast to the synth. Drum sequencing is a refreshing deviation from the usual heard in this genre. But the song ends quite abruptly, I was wishing to hear it return to the main theme or go somewhere else, but that's just my opinion. Overall I like the mood in this very much.
 
2Creativity Description
The drums are cleverly aranged, rhythmically diverse enough to keep it flowing yet not in your face. The brazil-esque guitar melody with the synth is an interesting combination as well.
 
3Artistic License Description
I find it always hard to comment this section.. If it's a solid tune, as it is, of course the samples work well together etc.
 
4Arrangement Description
Flows well from one part to another - but perhaps there could've been a breakdown somewhere, and some other fx besides the japanese speech samples. Again, it's only my opinion.
 
5Sound Quality Description
This is where there are some important things to point out - the overall mix clips a bit at parts, and the bassdrum is completely lost in the mix. The bass track seems to be the source of the clipping - definitely needs some equing. The other drums are also a bit lost in the eq spectrum - some more time mixing and equing the individual tracks could solve this.
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
The guitar melodies, drum syncopation and flowing synths work extemely well together. The only minus is the abrupt ending - I wouldn't have minded listening to this for a minute or two more.
