A couple of things about this song that I love. Let us start with this specific song first before we get briefly into the music in general.
I love that the bassline is carried by what sounds to me like a crazy-ass bassoon player. I love that the song sounds like it could be performed by a trio consisting of the aforementioned crazy-ass bassoon player, a flautist, and a drummer. A rather odd combination for a trio in theory, but it works wonderfully here. There is something about the tone of the bassoon that works well for a deep woods feel. The flute works well here too carrying the melody because a flute in the woods is a great instrument to have its sound carried through rustling trees and hurled onions. And the drums are there to fill in the spaces between and act as a driving mechanism for the rest of the song.
What I love about the music in the game is that it comes across as very quintessential Arne Hörberg. If you listen to his music from Gunman Clive 1 & 2, you will get what I mean. The downbeats in this soundtrack are a little more pronounced, but with how nearly everything in the game moves to the literal beat of the music, that emphasis works well as it helps tie the entire game together.
