This track is quite unique considering the general scheme SAO tracks follow. Usually they are either soft, ambient or big orchestral compositions showing character themes. However this track really focusses on the villainy and mysterious atmosphere of its character.

It totally caught me off guard when it first played in episode 2's end. Right when the camera moved to the skies and focussed on the tower and moon, it was an instant feeling of "There is definitely something up there". The track really focusses on "Mystery" part with a little touch of villainy.

The bass and the beats are probably the best parts of this track. The vocals uplift the track, but the main attraction for me still lies in the beats. The entire background composition behind the vocals is extremely catchy. Many of the instruments are, I believe, processed in some way or maybe synthesized directly as I have not heard of them so I'll just have to refer them through timestamps.

Right when the beats start at 00:10, there is another instrument along with it and it continues with the beats for the rest of the track. It really sounds nice the way it synchronizes with the main beat. At 0:24, the track fully picks up with another instrument. I think its again some sort of processed piano or xylphone but I am not sure at all. Its got that kind of bubble-y sound to it. That is probably my favourite sound from this entire track. And then right when it plays its first few notes, vocals start. The vocals are astonishing in itself. The choir really sounds extremely nice with the music. The Mysterious aura just reeks out from everywhere after that point.
The track continues like that for a few seconds and then the guitar comes in at 0:52 (I think its a guitar). It was a good part, but doesn't really top the rest of the track for me. And then right when the guitar part finishes at 1:19, if you listen closely there are also very small string sounds added (for stereo headsets, can be heard from the right earcup) that rapidly repeats itself following one tune. Even that tune is kind of nice when you actually notice it and adds to the track. Almost all the instruments really sync very very well together and add to the total atmosphere.

This track and "Blue rose sword battle" are the two tracks I listened on repeat for a few weeks when I finished alicization season 1. I'll soon start my watch for another one.

---Background---
I did find a great background image to use, but I had absolutely no idea what I could add to it. My mind just stuck to adding fog type of effect which generally is mysterious in itself and I thought it would go well with this track. Am not super satisfied with what I made, but eh its ok~ish I guess.

Our rating of this track : 10/10
Overall rating of this anime in terms of its background music : 10/10
