If this is depression I want some! This is a cool, eclectic and funky blend of various electronic elements. The violin was my definite favorite. Would have liked to hear more of that particular element in the piece. Perhaps we can convince Tree Dweller to compose a piece of that nature? Definitely fits in with the modern/retro genre of music and game play.

I’d say this track definitely has more of the “happily” than “depressed” in it. It’s very bouncy, almost bubbly. Even the slower interlude in the middle feels more peaceful than depressed. It’s not a bad choice to loop this for fifteen minutes or so when you have the after-lunch sleepies just to pep up a little bit. For use at the gaming table, you’ll want a scene in your story where everything is pretty much happy-go-lucky. My only serious complaint about the track is that it doesn’t loop well at all, both because of the slide-in/slide-out and a couple of seconds of silence at the end. An updated version with better population of the ID3 tags would be nice to. Although by my usual calculus this track ought probably to receive three stars, I went ahead with four just because the track makes me feel good.

What I liked about this music track the most was its use to the violin. In my opinion this track could easily be used in games to represent the background music for a dance club scene. But then again I'm a push over for Techno-Electronica. It is well worth the purchase.
