1Overall Description
Nice floating, a bit eerie dnb. The melody has a nice orientalish vibe to it, the bell lead on the background gives a nice sidegroove to the glassy lead instrument - the melody is also the strong part in this. However, I feel that the drumline doesn't really work with the other quite serene elements - it feels too hasty, especially the snare line. But perhaps this is what the artist was trying to achieve, it just didn't work for me.
 
2Creativity Description
The melodies are very interesting, and the guitar at the second breakdown gives the song melodically a new edge, which works well. The drum samples, on the other hand, are quite standard stuff.
 
3Arrangement Description
Transitions are smooth, the theme change after the second breakdown
which introduces the guitar melody takes the song forward really well. The song structure is solid and different parts flow well together.
 
4Sound Quality Description
The bass drum is almost completely lost in the mix, and the snare jumps out
at places, otherwise the sound quality is good. The bassline could be a little more present in the mix, but as this is ambientish dnb (imo), it doesn't really matter.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
Yes.
