I don't know why I never left a recommendation on this album. At this point it must be one of those I've replayed the most in my whole library. It's hard to describe the appeal though. It's a specific atmosphere, a specific mood that only this record can put you into. It's all in the details of how the songs blend into one another and how the movie samples get incorporated into the narrative of the songs. I also love their newer stuff with the cello. AlexisD
