My impressions:

The melody in "Clockwork" builds the tension well, by going from lower notes to higher, tenser notes, several times within the song. The melody was quite emotional...like a hand squeezing tighter and tighter, getting closer to crushing itself.

I prefer the beginning of the song, when the song has a more classical feeling, compared to when the driving beat comes in at 1:30 and the song relaxes.

The song is really really really long and repetitive! You must be a patient person. Around halfway through the song, I feared maybe I actually had started the song over by accident! I'll try listening to others you've posted to see if my impressions change.

Do you actually go out dancing a lot and hear this sort of music often? It has been so long since I've been to a club that I don't know what people play in them nowadays. The last time I went to a club was in the late 1990s in Turkey where they were playing dance music kind of like this, and I was not in a very good mood. I just wanted to flee the giddy mob. I realized then that I had become somewhat cynical about life. I just didn't feel much like dancing around anymore surrounded by a lot of strangers.
