Once again CoS shares a musical prophecy with us. A slow and relaxing melody, a subtle background beat and a structure that builds up, getting more and more powerful. WHOOSH! This song is like an ocean - impressively *big*, smooth and breathtaking. An electric organ is the basis for all sorts of classical and synth instrument parts woven around about six to eight chord units. It has been quite some time since I last heard a tune balanced that well. Especially the (two) loud parts have been armed to the teeth with perfect strings and thundering drums, not to forget the voice choirs and the clarinet that takes over a drifting melody... only the ending is a bit abrupt. This is a perfect ten. Those who don't like this kind of music (I do!) will be convinced of this score when taking a look at the songfiles' data. Almost no effects commands were used; in fact, they are not needed and would be out of place. The most dominantly used "effect" is carried out as consequent volume changes. Many samples are 8-bit, but seldomly have I heard a song that uses them as efficiently as this one. Panning and volume are well balanced, all samples have optimal parameters.

A slow, serene soundtrack type of tune with just a faint touch of melancholy. I really wish this tune had higher quality samples it's the only thing that's missing for this kind of song. That said the song sounds great and is composed is such a way that one wouldn't really notice the sample quality.
