1Overall Description
Ah, Tairon flavours here. Medieval journey thru the landscape of castles and moors, knights and peasants. Composition is somewhat ordinary but the way how ordinary elements are gathered is the key. Track grows bigger due to the arrangement and hooks you to listen again and again. How I did miss this before?? Little minus note for lofi encoding, I think there could be some advantages to higher encode :)
 
2Creativity Description
Intuitive arrangement creates track from rather usual musical riffs. Instruments talk together really gently, composers talent definitely lays here. AS said it hooks up to listen again and again yet making you feel never visit same place twice. Excellent job!
 
3Artistic License Description
At this viewpoint track doesnt really stand out. But heck, not every track must push the boundaries of music, there's not much new or fresh. Just happends to be a neat track of its genre :)
 
4Arrangement Description
Having said, arrangement is the one making track what it is. It infiltrates thru instrumentation, pasting track as a generous journey. Every instrument is nicely panned, stereo image is good for a tracked song(?) An insanely top notch work here!!
 
5Sound Quality Description
A drawback of track. Samples arent todays quality, sounds out especially in wide frequeincy range instruments like panflute and percussions. Dull and dynamicless sound doesn't really bother me (again) as an oldie tracker but it has to be said. Would be a killer track with todays magnificent romplers and such equipments ;)
 
6Does it work as a piece of music Description
Definitely. Without arrangement this track wouldn't be much of a worth. Just great soundtrack for a movie or a game of its age.
