We can all agree that Breathtaking Silence is LRG's best track, but this one certainly comes in second. It tied for first in ToCC (famously, with Path of Light, resulting in ZNF getting the full trophy and FC and LRG each getting a half) It also won MOTW #78.

However, it was criticized by some for being too random and having some spots that struggled to remain real. That's right, this was back when lots of people had lots of criticism to give about scenery Personally, I agree with the criticism, and I think the end is lame and some of the stuff in it looks awkward, but I still think it is much better than most of the scenery tracks that have been released since. It does have a consistent mountain theme, and it does have a pretty impressive scale. And some of the stuff in the scenery is pretty awesome. And the classic ZNF track has great flow so it's fun to watch.

I remember this coming out and being the first truly HD line rider track ever.

Gotta love Gjert's creativity
