Picture a circus, with creepy clowns, an evil ringmaster and fierce animals, and you get Dark Shadows: a fun, yet twisted piece filled with interesting melodies and animated accompaniments. The opening sets the dark tone of the piece through a simple melody played above a drone, accompanied by an interesting use of percussion before moving into the driving, circus style music.
