Aubrey's a master of atmosphere, immersion, and channeling emotional energy; that's a foregone conclusion to anyone familiar with his work on, say, the Doom and Quake ports. This album portrays a decidedly different emotional energy from those OSTs, but one that's every bit as exacting and exciting, replete with cinematic, goosebump-inducing moments (cf. Remembering Pools at 04:39) and all-out chest-pounding crescendos (cf. the intro to The Journey Begins). Beautiful work all the way through!
