Symphonic film soundtrack by Icelandic composer comprised largely of horns. Very atmospheric, moody. Instrumental. FCC clean.
Best tracks: 02, 04
01 I. They Being Dead Yet Speaketh (10:30): atmospheric droning horns, synths; after 5 mins mild percussion, horns more shrill & pronounced, then all settles down
02 II. An Injury To One Is The Concern Of All (14:23): bright but somber horn over dark, thick horns; becomes thunderous, intense; then murky, ominous; then wistful
03 III. Freedom From Want And Fear (11:08): bright horn bursts w/ long silences in btw; low electronic hum begins to emanate (a la Sigur Rós), bursts mellow & become complex/rich, fainter…
04 IV. There Is No Safe Side But The Side Of Truth (3:54): Hymnal indeed; comes to a peak, then like beg. w/ snare drm
05 V. Industrial And Provident, We Units To Assist Each Other (3:27): droning electronic hum, horns join in on the sonic landscape
06 VI. The Cause Of Labour Is The Hope Of The World (7:40): 05 rolls into this track for abt 1 min or so; then somber horn arrangement, snare drum joins later, then horns really build: grand; mellow outro
