I liked it! I can't comment much on the details as I'm unfamiliar with the overall composition, but the execution was top-notch and the music superlatively combined a bucolic vibe with real passion and spikes of power.

I'll add this: https://youtube.com/watch?v=cuOae6-GA-g

I've been really impressed with, of all things, what some Chinese composers are doing in video game sound tracks. This one uses an old German poem about torn-apart lovers to start, then...travels from there. I haven't played this game, but apparently the person you're fighting as this plays is an old friend turned against you by an opposing perspective - perhaps a pro-post-humanist one, judging by the musical themes? Anyways, it stands on its own.

As I read one commenter opine on the Chad Orthodox Chant playlist: 'I salute all my brothers on the final stage of “i listen to any genre of music”'
