The first 45 seconds sounds a little bit like the organist warming up the crowd at a hockey game, just before the puck drops. The trumpet melody stacks a little more dimension on top of the SPORTS vibe.

Love the combination of shabby Casio drumkit beat with ultra-realistic clarinet, xylophone, and accordion carrying the simple melody.

The echoey percussion beat that kicks off the second half of the song (starting around 2:40) really cranks up the eerie ambiance.

I can’t help but imagine that the 12-minute playtime is a bit of an in-joke in itself: it takes a long time to build a house hundreds of miles high. There’s a musical segment for each of the seven gates, and my favorite’s the sixth (starts around 8:20), which has a sort of mellow pop quality to it.
