Still missing one...

This Vacilia County, a mystery indeed..
Thanks for the breakdown MiLO!

[Jodo Kast]

I find it odd that this album has such a low rating. It is, by far, the best remix album I've ever heard from Konami. I gave it a 4.5. My only problem with this is the music by DJ URAKEN, due to the annoying speech.

[MiLO]

I'm with you on this one. Very well done remixes. Originally gave it a 4.5, but after seeing that it's being mistreated like that, bumped it up to 5.

[Don]

Yes, I concur. I really enjoy this soundtrack. I'm absolutely in love with the opening song (among many others!)

[Alcahest]

I really only enjoy a couple tracks, Leo Leo, VR & Global.
Too much dubstep/eurotrance and worst of all, hardcore, for my tastes for the others :/
I rated it 3.

[Don]

The people at RingMasters who helped coordinate the remix say that track 3 is from a tune that isn't on the OST releases for Zone of the Enders. Perhaps that will help narrow down the search.

[Dag]

It plays in (gasp!) Vacilia County, which goes before Train (OST, st5) I think.
I think the original sounds more like Akihiro Honda's other tracks. It has this... huh... brass sample thing Honda uses in most of his tracks (think of Leo! Leo! or Ardjet's beginning, in the OST).

There are more missing tracks, too bad they didn't make a full OST now they are re-releasing the game.


As for the album I thought it was pretty good, even the wubstep. Could have done without Uraken's cliched samples though.

[KAI]

Nice album. It would be good to see a Bemani-style album like this for the MGS series too.

[DanteLectro]

I checked and added the original composers from ZONE OF THE ENDERS Z.O.E ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK and ANUBIS ZONE OF THE ENDERS ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK. (Only then did i see the posts here...)

I completely agree with Dag on Vascilia County. I have a game rip that includes it.

There's actually a JASRAC entry for "Vacilia County." It's credited to Honda. Nice one!

[MiLO]

Interesting, never heard of JASRAC before.

[Dag]

Good catch CHz.

MiLO, I did a small tutorial about JASRAC here.

[MiLO]

Good stuff Dag. The tutorial and their database might come in handy in the future.

[VncentValntine]

This, those SQ albums, The Nier tribute album and even Scythian Steppes have slowly and subtly been edging me into dubstep. It's pretty fun music I'll admit (actual dubstep and its like), especially when you've got a decent headphone setup and/or a sub in your car.

[Ringmasters]

The track 3 by Wrexx is from Anubis(2nd Runner). The track was not included in the original soundtrack either, so definitely a mystery track indeed. The scene that used the original track is from where Jehuty helps those white robots to fight against spider looking things I forgot what they both called.
