This is... breathtaking. I live in the south. There are 3 different Civil War battle sites within an hour's drive from my house. In fact, Sherman marched through my hometown. There is so much Civil War history here and this score brought it all to life for me. I'm in love.
During March to the Sea, around the 26 minute mark, there's some hints of Meteor Shower, following the notes of "I desperately need you," regarding God, and something else that sounds crazy familiar and nostalgic. I can't quite think of what that is, which makes it a great effect, going back to that idea of a long forgotten era, and, amidst the cruelty of slavery and war, some beauty and honor that we've lost sight of in our endless pursuit of progress. And then there's those low murmurings that are almost impossible to discern. It sounds like Adam says "It is well" and something about the war, and I get the feeling that there has been immense loss, but also contentment, maybe in God. Adam's faith really catches hold of the Christian influences of that time, with the rock-style version of "Battle Hymn of the Old Republic," old-south-type glimmers of "Amazing Grace," and a lot more I would understand if I knew the cultural/musical history of that period. This is similar to the stuff Adam was creating before Owl City got rolling. Pretty awesome.
I want the CDs of all his scores. I love his music so much. When I have writing or art block, he seems to easily get my mind back to dreaming. His beautiful soul deserves to be heard by the world.

I love you Adam!
I forgot Adam had released a new album today and when I remembered he did I got soooo happy. Thanks for uploading.
This might be Adam's best score yet.
I want the CDs of all his scores. I love his music so much. When I have writing or art block, he seems to easily get my mind back to dreaming. His beautiful soul deserves to be heard by the world.
Around 10:30 I could hear a piece of "How I became the Sea"
And the end of Kennesaw Mountain, though. That made me so sad.
