Release
The subtitle Kurayamino variation is based on the Japanese for "of the darkness" (暗闇 の kurayami no). The song samples "It's a New Day" by Skull Snaps.[1] The short strings introduction is an excerpt from the first part of Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations,[2] and the piano solo is improvised around Elgar's theme.
