I used to like this track a lot but now I've grown weary of it. It suits the film well but as a song out of its context I find it rather dull. Isabel Bayrakdarian has an appropriate eerie voice, though.

And as a flautist, I of course love the flute solo.
I like the flute solo, too, though it's really the strings I like the most

low tones on a flute are awesome.
Can't argue with that!

I think this track contains nice elements but together they form a somewhat conventional or even boring whole. Maybe it's because most of the score has exciting dissonances and exotic instruments while this piece just repeats the same basic chords with regular orchesral instruments the whole time. I admit that not every single song can have something new and amazing in it but it was a little disappointment to me that I got tired to it so soon.

I'm now teaching myself how to play it on the piano. (It is an easy song though)
I've played it on the piano as well.
