"Air Ride: Magma Flows" is an energetic theme in A minor, 4/4. The intro section features | "Air Ride: Magma Flows" is an energetic theme in A minor, 4/4. The intro section features an ascending octave topped with a gong crash, then followed by a rapid xylophone passage. The first section begins with a descending glissando played by woodwinds and a xylophone and a piano bassline ascending by thirds. Its melody, played octaves apart by a clarinet and bassoon, begins with an ascending scale, and its second phrase consists of broken chords, which are interrupted by brass and a reiteration of the xylophone passage. This melody plays four times with different instruments and makes way for the second section, played by strings and consisting of dominant-tonic chords in A minor, C major and E minor (the triad's tonalities), and suspends on the dominant to B minor. The third section stays in this key and bears many similarities with the "[[Fountain of Dreams (theme)|Fountain of Dreams]]" theme, maintaining most of its instrumentation, melodic patterns, and rhythm. A high-pitched suspenseful final section ties it back to the first section, at which point the track loops. | ||
