In the same way, I was drawn to "My Heaven" from the first Silent Hill game, I find something about "Mirror Me - Mother Queen" intriguing. The pieces themselves sound somewhat similar for the first 2 minutes and 49 seconds although "Mirror Me - Mother Queen" is significantly less harsh of a sound. But even after that, I would not classify this as conventionally listenable unless you know what you are going into and if you already have an affinity for noise (as in the music genre). Around the 3:30 mark, the song takes a slight nudge and sounds like something you might find from Alec Empire although with less of a rave-able beat.
A lot of the set pieces in >observer_ seem to exist to make the player uncomfortable in their surroundings, and Arkadiusz Reikowski's music helps amplify that feeling, wonderfully exemplified in "Mirror Me - Mother Queen." That being said, there is so much going on and that happens in >observer_ that it would be hard to say that one piece in particular is representative of the whole game, but I feel that this piece does as well as can be expected in representing the feeling of wandering a cyberpunk tenement while your reality begins to crumble around you.
That is really it. I am a fan of questioning what constitutes music, or at least what is traditionally considered "music." And I find that "Mirror Me - Mother Queen" does illicit various emotional and gut responses, and that, to me at least, helps to define this as music.
