Song Review
Song: Alpha One (Full Version)

Overall Impression:
With its particularly spacey vibe and atmospheric leanings, "Alpha One" is an interesting foray into the world of retro-inspired electro that combines interesting synth sounds with a clear eye for melody. Von Burgund has done a solid job of crafting an interesting soundscape that paints a cosmic inspired picture of arpeggiated sequences, rhythmically driven synth pulses, and ping-pong style melodic ideas that definitely help to get the imagination going.

Strongest Point(s):
If there's one thing that "Alpha One" certainly has a lot of, it's the atmosphere. There's a definite space-like vibe to "Alpha One" that conjures up strong elements of sci-fi-inspired electronica, and it's this certain quality that helps give the track its strong sense of personality. The synth sounds that are used are both well-chosen and layered and they are used to great effect when conveying the song's main melodic and rhythmic based elements. With regards to rhythm, the use of pulsing synth parts really helps propel the track forward and allows the song to adopt a particularly strong rhythmic quality, creating a driving force to the track that keeps intensity levels at just the right level without ever feeling overbearing.

Target Audience Appeal:
I certainly see this appealing to lovers of Ambient Electronica.

Artist target suggestions:
Jean Michel Jarre, Four Tet, Tycho, Sun Rain, Lexer, Deadmau5, Sub Focus, The Chemical Brothers, System 7, Global Communication
