Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the Battle movement where the synthesizers take on a jagged, aggressive resonance.
The final ten minutes of Act 3 where the sequences dissolve into a pure, haunting ambient wash.
The baroque-inflected organ patches in Act 2 that evoke a gothic, theatrical dread.
