It was called Part 5.
It was actually quite pleasant, if unimaginative, for the first 30-40 secs. Then it started getting boring because it just repeated over and over. By the end of the second minute it was really grating hearing the same thing over and over and before it was half way through it just sounded hair-pullingly, cut my ears off bad simply by being the same thing, that wasn't that good in the first place, and repeating it over and over again.
An aural equivalent of the chinese Drip Torture.
For all I know he's done some good stuff. For all I know this doesn't sound bad when it's used as a movie soundtrack.
As a piece of stand-alone music for listening to, though, I didn't notice any redeeming qualities after the first 30 secs.
