The Music
Track 1 : The first movement, up to 08:35, is a collection of ominious, echo-laden, heavily-treated acoustic sounds; piano, cymbals, and percussion. Highly free-form, in the sense that there is no rhythm or structure (as such), it has an extremely unsettling aura even though it could be classified as being essentially ambient in nature. The second movement, taking up the rest of the track, is more "structured", with the introduction of electronics creating a more classical Vangelis sound, albeit still experimental.
Track 2 : Similar in style to the first movement of the first track, this is very minimalist and free-form, featuring, mostly, treated acoustics and reverberations.
Track 3 : An evolution of the second track, it mixes acoustics with electronics, producing an almost purely ambient, dark soundscape.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“The great challenge which faces us is to assure that, in our society of big-ness, we do not strangle the voice of creativity, that the rules of the game do not come to overshadow its purpose, that the grand orchestration of society leaves ample room for the man who marches to the music of another drummer.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“In benevolent natures the impulse to pity is so sudden, that like instruments of music which obey the touch ... you would think the will was scarce concerned, and that the mind was altogether passive in the sympathy which her own goodness has excited. The truth is,—the soul is [so] ... wholly engrossed by the object of pity, that she does not ... take leisure to examine the principles upon which she acts.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
