Very, very Harry Potter. The instrumentation’s a dead ringer – I had to flip back and forth a couple times between John William’s theme and this song to convince myself that I wasn’t listening to the same orchestra. The first minute wins the Grammy for style-apeing. After that, it takes off into its own thing. The gothic electric guitar is a nice twist on the standard symphony background.

A little overlong, but man, do I love those moddish horns in the intro. This song would make for an awesome walkthrough or overworld theme. It’s a close thing against Let Me Dance, Let Me Glisten and MOG^3, but this is my top track for the album.

A mix of sweet and sour. Wait, not sour… soul-gripping terror. Yeah. A mix of sweet and terror. The first half sets up a cool jam starting around the 1:15 mark.

The wvorst troll by a nautical mile gets his own cheap 70’s sitcom theme. Happy Days, starring Cronus as your favorite leather-jacket-wearing greaser buddy. *shudders*
