Stormlord - arranged by Reyn Ouwehand

Review by slaygon, 15/11/2022

The weight and timing of each keystroke reveals the emotion that went into this. The highs and lows are perfectly emphasized here. The rolls in-between tell their own story in a way, too. Generally, I do not like piano-only pieces because it is so darn difficult to get emotion out of the instrument, and it requires someone of Reyn's caliber to coax every bit of emotion out of it, which he does here. Masterclass. A great send-off for a fallen scener. Rest in peace Johannes!

Green Beret Blues - arranged by Marcel Donné

Review by slaygon, 16/09/2022

So many things going on here with how Marcel layers things. Just listen to those oscillators! Not only is he masterfully playing on the lead motif, but he breaks it down and then builds it back again, now Vangelis style. Teasing of something just beyond the horizon, leaving you wanting more. And I do want more than this trailer track with visions of a smokey room with Deckard interviewing Rachael.

Citadel (feat. NecroPolo) - arranged by Markus Schneider

Review by slaygon, 10/03/2015

Way under-rated track. The build-up is gorgeous. The cinematic aura of it is just perfect! Any movie would be happy to have this as its sound track! The delicately placed guitars from NecroPolo in the mix gives away the precision work Markus put into making this a mix to take seriously. And seriously, you should. The subtle choir at the 4 minute mark. The low string section at the beginning. This is as serious as a movie soundtrack would ever be. Rate it as such. (and I haven't even mentioned the low-end precision work throughout the track!)
