1Overall Description
I'll have to start by saying that I'm not a big fan of spacesynth music, and haven't listened it so much, so that probably will affect my judgement. This tune has a quite funky bassline, vocoders, spacy synths and solid song structure, and despite the quite clichey name (no pun intended) it sounds quite cosmic in it's own way. This would probably work really well in a nightclub oriented to '80's style of music, at least here in Finland, as it reminds me of disco, electro and the general eighties sound. There are a lot of differentiations in the lead melody, but somehow for me the tune doesn't elevate to a place where it could've gone.
 
2Creativity Description
What I've heard in spacesynth music, this sounds pretty standard stuff. The funky bassline gives a nice variation though, but perhaps there could've been more variation in the rhythm section; instead of using a basically backbeat oriented bassline, you could've made it more offbeat. But, that's only my opinion and the song flows well with it's solution in that department as well.
 
3Arrangement Description
Very good transitions everywhere, flows well from the start to middle to end.
 
4Sound Quality Description
This is the good part of this tune - everything sounds really planned out, none of the instruments are out of balance, the artist really knows what he's doing soundwise.A very organic and warm sound, I like it :)
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
Yep, it sure works, but imo it needs some variation somewhere to make it really stand out.
