Oh, fuck me. I typed this whole review and then clicked the Soundcloud link to go download the song before actually posting it. I'll give you the short version.
The pad in the beginning is, to put it bluntly, a little bit irritating and the piano melody starting at 0:39 sounds kinda flat and unrealistic.
Everything else is awesome. Clarinet in the middle section is awesome. Sax gave me the happies. Transition to glitchy section was sudden but it works. Glitchy section itself is really wonky and cool. Dissonant, too, which I don't normally like but you pulled it off. Outro with the temple blocks (or whatever they are, they sound like temple blocks) is a really nice touch.
Now I'm going to click "submit" and THEN download, like the reasonably intelligent human being that I am apparently not.
