That synth pad is VERY warm; Noah is on target....Terre makes excellent 
use of opposing avenues of ambience. A single chord rising in volume, 
implying elevation, while the sub bass and atmospheric "Steam" bursts 
making it just a tad rough for fun......
A good example of a track that is not terriblty complex in construction 
but quite complex in the emotion it invokes. and that brings me to 
another point which many people I see miss on the IDM list: Achieving 
beautiful simplicity is intself a complexity!
