More lithe and less heavy than I expected. It was a bargain and I recommend it.

I do like it though; it's perhaps a bit more 'formless' than I am comfortable with but it gradually culminates into a thoroughly absorbing rhyhthmic pulse (common in this composers work) that makes it a piece that I will come back to again...
Cheers for that Darren....intruiging....
