The "Opening" starts with harp and strings and then cymbalom comes in with a suggestion of the main theme. Fans of John Barry's score for The Ipcress File will probably like this.

The cymbalom handles the "Main Titles" solo, a slow 3/4 piece with ascending and descending four-note phrases that could be heard as the four words in the title.

This CD presentation places the "End Credits" music next, which is pensive and mysterious, long string tones, harp and eventually a restatement of the main theme.

The music gets more energetic, percussive and driving for "The Journey Continues" as sharp piano pulses and fastly struck high-hat or some other metallic percussion instrument pushes urgently. The main theme appears on cymbalom at the end.

The piece that's actually called "Man at the Top" is more dramatic and suspenseful, bringing in snare drum and low, ominous, long bass tones contrasted with sharp, high, plucked strings. A variation of the main theme is played over a tense but cool groove.

More unsettling sounds from the strings start off "Night Is Falling" but then there's a lot of space and vibes, cymbalom, flute and piano all take turns filling it before combining with other instruments.

"Bedtime" is a sweet and lovely feature for acoustic guitar and electric piano, the main theme again, but it's such a nice piece I don't mind hearing it so much.

The flute starts out with the main theme duties on "In the Woods", soon to be joined by strings and vibes. Plucked bass then adds a bit of bounce and there's an ethereal feel that turns menacing and then intensely dramatic with very high-pitched string writing.

A very short (29 seconds) cue comes next. "Peeping Robin" is a brief interval for strings, almost like a bridge between "In the Woods" and "Change of Plan", which is more pensive string writing that also has vibes and electric piano adding to the atmosphere. Then the pounding and driving piano/percussion motif from "The Journey Continues" reappears.

Then it's lounge time with "Bossa Nova", which is for sure a very conventional bossa nova piano trio piece, very nice, you've heard others like it before.

A very short solo cymablom and harp take on the main theme is "In the Office" and then "Joe Is Being Followed" reiterates the piano/percussion mood from "The Journey Continues" but with the addition of guitar and cymbalom.

Another beautiful presentation of the main theme is presented by cymbalom and harp in "Swept Up in Memories", followed by a reprise of "In the Woods".

The piano trio returns in "Mingle with Me", but this time it's a relaxed, gently swinging piece that plays around with the main theme a bit.

The first of three bonus tracks is "Demo Jingle", a funky piece with wah-wah guitar. It's really cool, with a great synth sound.

"You Can Never Trust a Friend" is a laidback, acid rock soul whatever sort of piece that's also really nice.

Finally there's a bit of library music strings with square funk rhythm for "Pipe Tobacco".
