Overall Impression (9/10)

One word - catchy. This is one of those dooph-dooph tracks that one could listen to repeatedly and it probably won't lose its ear-candy value in a hurry. Everytime I hear this track, I always think it would be appropriate for a game or a movie - maybe a fight scene.

Or if you're bold, as a cellphone ringtone. Whatever the use, I like this track and it definitely has two thumbs up from me. And a grin.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (9/10)

One thing I love about this track is its structure. It's almost hard to believe that this song was basedon a 2-pattern track originally made by Spin Dizzy, although this is the second attempt (hence the "2" in its name).

Not many dooph-dooph tracks hold back on the bass, but at 2:13, this track takes a quiet break until 3:09 - something I initially found surprising but something I thoroughly appreciate. It further reinforces my thinking of its use in a game or a movie - particularly in a fighting scene. The entire track flows. There are no random "spikes" in the tune or its beat.

Development (9/10)

There are few surprises in the tune of this track, but at the same time, it's not entirely unpredictable. It has a great buildup in its introduction and doesn't bombard the ear so early. One pleasant surprise was at 2:13, where the track quiets down for under a minute and then picks itself up and runs. I haven't heard many dooph-dooph tracks do that, let alone do it so well.

Creativity (8/10)

This track is the second attempt of a remake/remix (you choose) of a 2-pattern track originally done by Spin Dizzy. Considering its length and complexity - and sound quality, pOW has done an amazing job at expanding from 2 patterns. The only thing I'm worried about, is the use of the flanger-sounding piano used from 1:17. While its tune was appropriate for the track, there was just something not right (in my ever so humble opinion) about that particular sample. Yet using a regular sounding piano/keyboard synthesized piano in the background, was very bold, yet it did not overbear.

Enjoyment (9/10)

This track is definitely catchy and replayable. I began playing it at the office for review and it got some of my workmate's attention. It is now a regular track played in my car, background music when I play games (which I enjoy playing, but not enjoy its music soundtrack) and it even serves as my cellphone ringtone (from 0:28 - 1:17)
