1Overall Description
I've had this track on repeat for quite some time now, trying exactly to place a finger on how I feel about it. Not whether or not I like it, but how much I do. The music definitely has an appreciable George Sanger sound to it, which is something I am more than giddy about; and I am more than reminded of The 7th Guest soundtrack, mostly around 2:30 when in comes the estranged piano, and at 2:50 the introduction of tribal percussion and eerie voices. It's a vibe that I won't ever have enough of. Whether or not you enjoyed the T7G soundtrack or not, this track is worth a visit. Excellent work. Slammy and Randor deliver a sound piece of music.
 
2Creativity Description
This piece is what you'd expect to hear out of a game, perhaps, and has a special flair of originality. Things can get slightly repetitive at times, although it's hard to exactly say how. Quite often, repetitiveness of this nature really only helps, as I'd say it does here. I've managed to repeat it about ten times now without any trouble of boredom. This is possibly attributed to the artists' intersegmentation of new melodies and ideas that act as a glue for the whole piece. Overall, the mood created is somehow playful amidst the eerie chaos that is created, making this an overwhelmingly unique piece. Unfortunately, it is clear things are a bit on the repetitive side, when it comes to the foundation of the piece. While the repetitive does in fact help the piece, it does a lot of damage as well. I'd like to see entirely new sections jumble things up and create a bit of a deeper mood or idea. All in all, good work here.
 
3Arrangement Description
Musically, everything is arranged very soundly. No noticeable muddiness can be attributed to the arrangement. There are transitions, although at times they are difficult to pick out. The base of the piece seems to be a bit repetitive, which is a downer for me, but overall it's very nice. Again, my only qualm here is that there is no truly alternate section where things vary nearly entirely. I wouldn't normally suggest such a huge change, but the sheer repetitive-nature of the track makes something that acts in such a way nearly essential.
 
4Sound Quality Description
Because of the solid musical arrangement, the mix comes out very well balanced. I am very pleased with how this mix sits, especially in the quality of the piano which creates a mood that warms my body. Overall, the sound quality is next to perfect.
