1Overall Description
A chilly tune with lots of variations and consisting of several parts, lots of surprises. The best genre which would categorize it is indeed Other, though some parts strongly remind of xerxes.
The tune is very difficult to rate - while being very cleverly done and generally fun to listen to, it's musical value is a bit questionable, as it gives an impression of a joke.
 
2Creativity Description
Inspite of lots of new sounds coming in all the time, the rythm and chords which start at the beginning and at first promise something interesting, tire and honestly I couldn't get to the end at first, turning the player off somewhere in the middle. If you listen attentively, you can find out that generally the track is very repetative and nor the chords, nor the basic soundscape changes, so incoming soundeffects and musical phrases don't help.
 
3Artistic License Description
The sample selection is brilliant - I love the sounds used and the vocoded percussions do sound very tasty!
 
4VocalsDescription
I wish there was more of vocals here. I'd even suggest some calm rapping.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
It does work as a funny clever tune made by two gr8 chaps. As a chillout tune it might work as well. As a music you would attentively listen to - maybe not. A bit dull for that, imho.
