“…the original score by Jonathan Guillen begins to set a tone of intrigue with bass-loaded repetitions akin to Philip Glass but with ample tonality. While the music, like a cinematic score, is meant to cue in the action, it is so compelling that it would seem like a good idea for Oracle to present a musical recital of the piece in standalone mode.” - Splash Magazine
