Ludovico Einaudi: In A Time Lapse - an album guide
10. Newton's Cradle
This is the longest track on the whole of In A Time Lapse, and the one that seems to fit the album's title the best. Repeated patterns and the return of that throbbing bass are the main elements here, along with some beautifully judged string chords - as well as the continued triangle hits, which sound strangely like an approaching train. Watch out for the thrilling climax, too: if you think Einaudi's all about relaxing, then think again!
