1Overall Description
This is a totally decent drum&bass tune. The bassline still needs a bit of work and at times it sounds, aptly, like you were just trying to get the hang of new software. But the song structure, sound and composition are at heart some
 
2Creativity Description
Okay. In terms of drum & bass, this tune is nothing new. The drumbeat is one that, honestly, we've all heard before. no flashy synth melodies or mashups. But as far as the genre is concerned, this song sticks to some tried-and-true methods.
 
3Arrangement Description
I heard some minor balancing issues that could be easily resolved. The bass is too top-heavy and would probably sound a lot better if it were EQ'd so that it had significantly less treble and more bass. The panning sounds pretty good when used, and the synth and bass both have a nice warm stereo surround feel to them. I think that the filters (? the "wah") in the bass are sometimes a little too wide and overly distracting and could be toned down a bit. I would also bring up the congas a bit when they come in to help the transitions. the drums could also stand to be either brought up or brought out from the center, but isn't totally necessary.
 
4Does it work as a piece of music Description
Like I said, good, solid d&b. Has a bit of an unfinished feel to it but a few minor changes would smooth this over easily. While I wouldn't say this is one of my favorite Encrypted Transmission pieces, I think it shows promise for things to come.
