This is an amazing instrumental. The first time I listened to this in a dark room I got this really creepy feeling that I couldnt shake until the next song had started. It just gots a real strange vibe to it.

Anyways, yes it does sound like a space ship descending to earth. It starts out peaceful and everything until halfway through the music has a darker edge starting to kick in. From a sequel to year zero perspective, this to me is the point where the lights in the sky which I think is the presence descend to earth. Mankind sees them as the only hope of salvation so welcomes them but then the music takes that darker edge and I believe the presence is now fucking over the survivors of the human race and finishing what they started. Maybe taking them in as slaves and forcing children upon them????
