The 528 Hertz solfeggio frequency is also known as the frequency of health and longevity. And this is quite a long 8 minutes of haunting, penetrating, meditational soundscape. Like a swirling wind of synthesized tones seeping through your ears, it is both sonically immersive and spiritually engrossing, evolving slowly with minimal movement to give time to fully absorb the sensory effects given off.

Slightly mysterious retro rock theme. Acoustic guitar and female oohs feature over a solid drum beat before brass enters for a South American feel and a searing synth lead takes over. Part psychedelia, part spaghetti Western, it's a downbeat track with melancholic vibes.

Creepy melodies, weird sounds and disturbing noises designed to create a send of dread. Featuring scary strings, music box and rhythmic synths to drive it on, it lies somewhere between a deranged ethnic ensemble and a contemporary, cinematic action tension builder. A little bit different, and all the better for it, whilst maintaining its roots in the cinematic horror camp.

Ghostly goings-on, devilish delights and frolicking phantoms reign in this playful track. Is there an eerie theremin? Of course there is. Is there a toy piano? Of course. Pizzicato strings? Yep.

Very lively and beat driven, without being overly aggressive, the hits and impacts are enhanced by synth phrases and distorted electric guitar riffs, intended to create an overall landscape of power, industry and energy rather than a memorable melody. Unrelenting and tense dark electro.

Slow building, cinematic orchestral piece. Immediately dramatic and intense, through single repeated piano notes and suspenseful violin harmonics, there's an ethnic edge in the instrumentation merging with strings and oboe as the piece turns darker with rich bass and dissonant textures. Ambient and brooding throughout with a tragic, heroic feel to the second half due to a sweeping string and brass melody accompanied by added timpani and rhythm, it remains a calm yet slightly unsettling piece with outstanding tension.

Fast moving, hard hitting cinematic track with a full-on intensity and underlying aggression. Mixing the sinister with the heroic, it's dark, it's dramatic, it's epic - and uses all the usual ingredients of stabbing string ostinato, deep brass swells, pounding percussion and rhythmic pulses to create the mood. Very energising.

Cinematic hybrid track with an ever shifting mood. Starting gently with strings and horns, it gives an impression of mellow reflection which soon turns more sinister with the introduction of bolder brass and timpani.

With the suspense and intensity building, the string melody becomes dominant, spearheading the epic final assault and resulting in a piece that delivers drama, mystery and contrast.
