- Joe Clay: "A fanfare of trumpets and we're off⌠The first noise you hear is eerie dissonance, which is promising. There's the faint sound of wind whistling in the background, evoking images of icy tundras. The mood is a bit unsettling. Panning synths in the style of Oneohtrix Point Never unfurl, along with something resembling vast synthesised panpipes. It's beatless. There are vague hints of trademark BOCian melodies penetrating the synthy murk. It's a wee bit Goblin/Umberto perhaps, and wouldn't sound out of place on the soundtrack to a Dario Argento flick." [1]
