I'm so looking forward to this one. I'm sad that 7th Dragon didn't get one, aside from the piano and strings album. I can't wait to see the guest arrangers this time!

Some new [H.] is all I ask for.

There's nothing wrong with that! I wonder if it'll be Mitsuyoshi himself (like in the first one) or other members of H. (like in the second one). Either way, H. is a winner in my book!

I'm looking forward to this one as well. I liked the first two Super Arrange albums, hopefully this will be equal or better.

Pretty sure I got all this correct, but can someone double check. Got everything based off of this page:
http://5pb.jp/records/release/detail...code=VGCD-0189 This has truly made my day. Surprised at the choice of arrangers this time around, but at the same time, I'm loving it. Last edited by Don; Apr 15, 2010 at 10:32 AM. |

Basiscape is handling the entire arranged album and neither Sakimoto nor Iwata are anywhere to be found? I boycott this CD.

I had a comeback but then I remembered that Stewie said it best.
I guess it's just kinda baffling that they'd pass up an opportunity to arrange some Koshiro. If I were a talented musician (I am not), I'd wanna do the whole arranged album by myself. Forget sharing or delegating it out to my employees, it's Koshiro we're talking about here! Their discographies do not lie.. Yuzo Koshiro and Hitoshi Sakimoto are both legends when it comes to VGM. These other Basiscape people are.. well.. not even close. This will make an interesting future interview question for Sakimoto! Would have been awesome to hear one legend arrange another, and then maybe somewhere down the road, vice versa. The only excuse I'll take from Sakimoto is that he's busy working on the fully orchestrated score for Vagrant Story 2... |

If the arranger line-up is made up of more ambitious artists, I for one don't see what's wrong with it. One's legendary status as a composer doesn't guarantee a high standard of living. I have an impression Iwata often takes a conservative direction in arranging, and if not it's uninspiring anyway. As for Sakimoto, something like "Eyes on Me" from this album is my thing but I know many people saying it sucks
I'd rather be baffled by the fact Sakimoto's name is still there (as a supervisor) presumably for publicity, despite his little involvement. |

I agree that when those members try to emulate Sakimoto (like those two examples you gave yourself (Grim Grimoire, Deltora Quest), they are boring, but given to their own devices (Opoona, many unpublished works, CAVE albums), those compositions are where these composers tend to shine.

Also, interesting note. There may be an error in the tracklisting (official) because the sample for track 6 clearly is the theme "Battlefield - That Fresh Blood is Thine or the Enemy's" and not the one listed officially.
EDIT: WHoops, Looks like I made a mistake when matching up the tracks the first time. Fixed! Last edited by Don; Apr 15, 2010 at 01:44 PM. |

Probably has to do with money and time. I doubt they're making a lot of money on this project, and Sakimoto is likely busy with bigger projects.

Hmm. I don't mind her singing and all but sometimes the lyrics sounded a little cheesy.

Can one of the staff members remove the booklet pages 1-6 that are not rotated correctly? I forgot to do it before I uploaded. D'oh!

Was only a joke, but hey! There ARE some vocals on tracks 3 and 13. And they're lovely.

Given the booklet credits no vocalist, the vocals in both of her arrangements may very well be her own.

I really like this arrange album, and that's pretty surprising (even for me *g*), since:
- I can't stand the chiptune sound of the 'Sekaiju no MeiQ' series at all - Basiscape usually does _nothing_ for me: Oboromuramasa... boring, 'Valkyria Chronicles 2'... sounds too much like the first game The third track is my favorite, but the whole album is pretty good - nice flow, you can constantly listen for 55:56 and it never gets boring. @Basiscape team: nice work! |
