interesting
dunno if we ever spoke about this in the past. unfortunately i don't have the most recent soundtrack (only PSFs), so i'm unfamiliar with a lot of these names. the ones you mentioned that I do recognise I agree with though, like Atomic Energy and Donden. that said I'm not huuuuugely familiar with either's compositional voice. it seems in recent times communication with composers has greatly improved, i wonder if it would be possible to contact either one of them and ask? i'd be way too embarassed though, ha.
i like these sorts of discussions, even if they are speculative. it would be cool to see other albums discussed in this way.
ps. get on irc sometime you bum
