You really know how to write good melodies! It's something I can expect from your work, and this was no exception. It definitely has a desert city feel, but I can feel the pulse of people dancing, bustling about, worshipping their gods, and just being people in general. This work has a focus on humanity which I really enjoy.
The instrumentation is very expressive and natural, and the melodies are captivating. I really like the drone in the background and almost wish it was a bit louder, but then again, I dig big loud drones. Anyways, you've shown you can write exceptional music in many different styles and this is a great example. Fantastic!!
