Legendary. Words can barely begin to describe what this music was like at the time of its release... After all these years it still invokes mystery and a uniqueness that has yet to be seen elsewhere.

нераскрытая тайна творчества, по образу и подобию

I've been hearing this song since I was a child. I love swimming and diving, so come back here every time I want some peace because it reminds me of the bottom of an ocean. I think I'll return until the day I die... and if somehow I become deaf, I'll still hear it in my mind.

@Zinou59

I think that i understand why, kinda.

Oceans, or more precisely the bottom of oceans, still represents a tremendous mystery to the mankind.

And this melody is... mysteriously composed, that's the word.
Maybe you're in fact attracted by the notion of "mystery" itself...
