"The Age of Wonders" opens with classic early-2000s fantasy orchestration, big and hopeful. "Death" goes exactly where you'd expect, all minor keys and foreboding weight. "Cosmos" reaches for something vast and otherworldly, pulling away from the grounded fantasy of the other tracks.
"Aggressor" and "Defender" handle the battle themes with solid intensity. Clean, focused fantasy scoring that doesn't overstay its welcome. Good for anyone who likes their soundtracks organized by element.
