1Overall Description
An unconventionally brilliant piece of work. In summary, an experimental video-gamey type of song with unusual percussion and a soul-searching bass upon which soft layers of melody float.
 
2Creativity Description
Creativity is overflowing in this song. The percussion especially, as it is unlike anything I've heard before. The gritty video game sounds contrasted with the smooth synths definitely add another dimension.
 
3Arrangement Description
With the minor exception of the sudden transition at 1:36, the song flows well and sounds very good.
 
4Does it work as a piece of music Description
Yes. In fact, this song could easily be in a video game.

Thanks for the review Tympanic, and although the fields "arrangement" and "does it work as a piece of music" are a bit on the rough side, I think you've done a good and precise job describing the piece in the fields "creativity" and "overall". And oh yeah, add to this, my surprise that somebody actually liked this tune!
