It is less agressive than the 2003 Reservoirs, a reaction to creating reservoirs in Welsh heartlands' valleys in order to supply the English midlands with drinking water, a work which basically established his name, but Puw shows again his ability of tone painting.

IMO to become a new Mathias or Hoddinott.
