1Overall Description
This tune is an interesting combination of differing elements - sweeping synths, distorted guitars and am occasional really funky bassline. The jazzy piano melody at around 2:50 takes the song really forward, quite unexpectedly so, but then it suddenly enda with a fast fadeout, which is a shame, for the tune could've evolved more from there. The song gives out a mood that is relaxing, yet somehow devious and undeniably groovy - that is, trip-hop indeed. Nice one!
 
2Creativity Description
The jazzy piano, funky bass and theme variations keep the listener interested till the end. Perhaps some variation in the drum section would've been nice as well, but not really necessary as the tune is (imo) based more on the melodies than the percussive elements.
 
3Arrangement Description
The transitions are very smooth indeed, the artist seems to know the do's and don'ts of the genre, yet the tune doesn't sound like generic trip-hop at all with the dist guitars and general funkiness. Thing drop when they are supposed to, yet some elements when introduced take you by surprise (eg. the piano).
 
4Sound Quality Description
The only thing that bothered me is the kick, which seems to be a bit lost in the mix. The drums in general could be a bit more loud, but that is really just a matter of opinion on what kind of sound you want to achieve, and for this tune it works that they are in the background. All the other elements sound harmonius and clear, and do not interfere with each other.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
Yes. A worthy representative of it's genre in all aspects.
