Interesting, they're generally not synths that are regarded as warm and
for the most part it sounds quite thin to me, much of which is due to it
being single oscillator. Although not all the sounds are thin and the
layering of other parts has overcome it as well.
Sounding thin isn't a problem, in fact, I don't think the woodwind
emulations would sound as good, but it certainly lacks the fullness and
warmth of a Moog. It's interesting how subjective these things are and
how totally inadequate language can be at describing them :-)
I can't quite put my finger on why I think it
sounds a bit like Goblin, it just
seemed to have a slightly dark, menacing tone to it, maybe even slightly
cinematic (all of which is absolutely fine by me).
There's of course the rainy background, the minor-centrism of the
harmony and the slight oddness of the beat, but for me the warmth of
the synth sound provides the prevalent mood.
But one
thing's for sure, it sounds absolutely nothing like Genesis :-)
Heh, I'll have to trust you on that, seeing that I know next to
nothing they made (but perhaps you already know that :). In any case,
to me it matters not where you take it from, but where you take it to.
