The musics of this album seems to be one, or better, two. Some
albums are collections of different interpretations and arranges of a
single theme. This is not the case. All tracks ARE the same music, some of
them with a different ending or accompaniment. In fact, there are two
basic musics with many variations. But the basic musics are good and
very climatic, though not very creative.
