Much like the other albums in this fine lineup the primary focus here is two to three melodies intertwining with each other to create a mystical atmosphere. There is just a tiny bit of reverb on the instrumentation as well to give it a "played in a great hall" type feel to it.
Much more so than almost any other music I have, Fief feels like it is being played by a travel minstrel. Music that is meant to be heard by people as the troupe travels around the kingdom.
If anything this album has a bit more of the "guitar" sound to it than the previous records. By guitar I still mean that its obviously played on a keyboard but the synths do seem to be emulating a plucked guitar or lute more so than the first three albums.
Fief is a treasure. The music created for this project is some of my favorite that I have come across in the past few years. While they will likely never reach a top ten list, this stuff is just so wonderful that I have to keep coming back to it.
