The "What are you listening now?" thread

I also found that tidbit in the commentary to be really interesting. The effects are so thick it almost doesn't sound like a bassoon. Still, having a leitmotif for the water monsters in the background music is IMO a brilliant idea. They are completely voiceless in-game and yet you sympathize with them ever so slightly because they feel like they could be actual animals (unlike the grunts/brutes).

The fifth gnossienne will always be my favorite though. It's so subtle it hurts.

I always did imagine the water monsters as fish-like animals. But really, Mikko is a great composer. Although, I find his recent work in Overgrowth to be a little... underwhelming.
