This is a very interesting track; its fun to listen to and loaded with notes, all of which are very well arranged. Fast-paced, and upbeat, this track does very well with the instruments provided, considering that they arent at all that great. The use of percussion in this track is absolutely amazing. The drumbeat it perfect in every respect. The hand claps, cymbals and snare beats are placed with utmost care. So much attention to detail was put into this. On a lesser note, this track is a tad repetitive and some of the instruments dont change enough to keep it interesting. But like I said, what is done is well done and even if it is repeated, that doesnt stop this from being a very interesting and well developed song; worth a listen. The tracking here is tight, efficient and clean. There are no off notes, no unused channels, no useless effects. Not much I can pin on the artist. The piano notes are spread out over a few channels in order to increase the realism in that it lets the notes hang a little, as they would on a real piano. The portemento used on the lead gives it a cool twist that makes it sound a bit like a guitar. Like I mentioned before, the instruments are nothing to brag about but this is still a very cool track.
