Final Toccata much?

You can't hear this song without thinking 'upside-down Castle! :D', but it seems most resent it. Granted, it's everywhere in the IC, but it's what defines that Castle.

It's grand, it's slow, and it

Eh, I don't like it that much. I might think differently if it hadn't been played nearly everywhere in the inverted Castle, but you can only hear the same song for so long before you start to want something else instead.

The real problem is that the song takes a while to really get going, but it stops and starts over whenever you move to a different area.  So, most of the time, you're just hearing the song's overwhelming opening, which quickly becomes tiresome.

I like it, but yeah, it can get repetitive if you hear it long enough.

 I can listen to it indefinitely. The harmonies are impossibly intricate, so it remains interesting throughout the entire IC because I'm always finding something new in it, even after years of hearing it.

It's very repetitive, but interesting.  Quite long, too.  It's a good track.

Good piece. But I usually skip it when I play the OST CD, and it's not included on my computer's CV playlists.

I used to like it, but after spending ages in the IC, it gets repetitive and annoying, songs from the regular castle could have been reused. Why make us endure it hour after hour I now don't spend any time in the IC because of it.
