2 days left till Ascension part 2, and here is the first track I am going to give you guys today.
2. Urbadelphia.
About: When choosing a song to represent an entire location, it needs to be long. Why long? Because it needs to convey as many emotions and feelings as possible, this is why the 12 minute song Winter Contingency from Halo Reach was chosen. The moment the song begins your assaulted by strong drums and a haunting background chorus, the mystery and fear of the city is conveyed in the strong drum beats and haunting vocals.
At 3:15 we get a dark drum and guitar, representing villains rising up, but once we hit 4:18 the strings and guitar are heroic and daring - representing those as heroes stopping whatever is coming their way. The bits after that section, a calm peace ensues until the haunting drum beat returns and then we are faced with soft, dangerous beats as we think of the dangers of the city...until it hits a full blown orchestra - perfect for any action sequence. Then it falls back again to dark guitar beats and haunting drums. Finally, we end this epic of the city on haunting notes...reaffirming the supernatural of the city and it's many dark corners.
