| #9 SYMPHONIC ELECTRONICA CHART and #16 Electronica Chart!! (Jan. 24, 2003) This begins with the sounds of the surf combined with some nice space/ambient effects. Slowly, a rhythmic sequence can be heard which builds to a climax and slowly exits back to the ocean from where it came. Very melodic! |
