Basically an exercise in minimalism and reinvention; Johannsson takes essentially the same melody
and reinvents it again and again, rising and falling, for an hour. The time between crescendos as
well as their respective heights changes over time as the composer plays around with ambience and
reinvention. While it's a very aesthetically pleasing listen--it's a great, faux-dramatic melody-
-it isn't a very gripping listen, given that it is essentially just the same thing over and over
again. For droney orchestral background music this is fairly good, but as a work meant to be
actively enjoyed it's a bit lacking.
