There's a lot of bass on this record...at times it sounds like really skeletal instrumental grime or dark Berlin techno without such a reliance on ever-present beats. Scaling the Yablonois really turn[s] on the Carpenter tension with its insistent beat and stabbing melodic flourishes. It really does give the impression of people sneaking around under cover of darkness. It even sounds like there's a bit where they nearly get caught. The Deleted Monastery Scene has some dead tasteful electric piano arpeggios and some awesomely synthetic string sounds.
