Hehe, this should compensate for the disc reduction on Radiant Historia OST

Awesome! Hope this is as good as Shimomura's first PE score!

According to the Square Enix store, Tsuyoshi Sekito and Mitsuto Suzuki also worked on the music.

Sounds fine. I'm relieved neither Mizuta nor Ishimoto are involved.

Well I'm glad that Ishimoto stayed out of it, at the least, but I'm not a huge fan of Sekito. I wonder how much new material from Shimomura will be here?

Well, here are a few details on the soundtrack for those wondering what it could be like:

I would say that Sekito has improved as a composer over the years. His scores for The Last Remnant and Gyromancer were a vast improvement on his earlier works in my opinion. That said, I'm not sure how good a fit he is for Parasite Eve yet. I'm sure Suzuki will do fine though.

Sekito did compose for 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back from the Sewers'. I think this was my first Turtles game on GameBoy and I just loved the music. I did a 'prehistoric' gamerip on tape back then, which should still be around somewhere on my family's attic

I agree that Suzuki is a perfect match for the style Shimomura used in the first game. He did some great arranging work with Hamauzu, especially on Sigma Harmonics. As for Sekito, I haven't really disliked any of his work intensely or anything (except maybe his overuse of that one voice sample in the PSX era) but it's never really impressed me much. I listened to some of Last Remnant, and I wasn't all that intrigued. You're probably right, though.

CDJapan still has some first press copies available. Since cardboard cases are always nice, I just ordered a copy.

Thanks Don. I like what I hear!
Anyone care to translate the "Composer Message" section?

Since Sekito's works have always been based mainly on rock/metal music, I'm interested to see how this soundtrack turns out.
Although it may not live up to the standards of PE1, it'll definitely outmatch the 2nd one. |

OSV's review just went up: http://www.originalsoundversion.com/...dtrack-review/
I wish they had noted which tracks were "bonus" tracks not featured in the game. But a fantastic soundtrack. |

Great review; it only made me more anxious for it to be released already.
Can't wait! |

No booklet or liner notes? I'm disappointed.

I get the feeling Yoko shimomura composes every tracks and the others arranged them.
Is my feeling wrong? |

This soundtrack is pretty good from what I've heard so far... The song that stands out to me as far as battle tracks goes is "Terminus Zero".
The OST as a whole sounds like Parasite Eve game to me, it has that sci-fi feel to it |

The title for track #2.18 made me chuckle.

Added Disc 3 Track 5 to the "Composed by Yoko Shimomura" section in the info. Even though the original Escape from UB is just that piano motive, it's still her work. It's interesting that both Suzuki and Sekito arranged this track... wonder if that's accurate.

It's mainly a remake of the UB boss battle theme, with the Escape from UB piano intro.

Disc 1 Track 5 (Joy to the World), who would that be under? I noticed that in the recording section it mentions Tsuyoshi Sekito, but does anyone know who is the composer?

I know the original and many iterations of joy to the world, the one from 3rd birthday seems to be their own interpretation.
Disc 3 track 10 "Wachet auf, ruft uns der Zeitpunkt Null ※""Based on a cantata BWV140 by J.S. Bach"" If there is a mention of Bach, should not isaac watts be added to the composer list? |

http://www.bach-cantatas.com/BWV140.htm In the case of Shimomura's arrangement, it is only attributable to Bach and no on else. She faithfully quotes the "Chorale" section (mvt. IV) from BMV140, which can be seen here: BMV140 Nicolai's chorale, on the other hand, is mostly used as a basis for the melody, which isn't featured in the T3B track. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Wachet_auf.jpg If Shimomura had chosen to make her track longer and included the melody, then perhaps a nod to Nicolai would be appropriate. But in this case, only Bach requires credit. In any event, I think that the inclusion of either Nicolai or Watts as composers anywhere on this site is getting excessively technical. A scholarly article or analysis of classical music would identify such sources, but for our purposes I don't think it's necessary. Out of curiosity, Fearin, why do you immediately associate anything written by Bach with Watts?

^^ Holy Moly :O . I take he's talking about creditting Isaac Watts for "Joy to the World".
From Google it seems George Friederic Handel most likely did the source melody, while Lowell Mason arranged and adapted it using Isaac Watts's lyrics. So... dunno? (this interview indicates the arrangement was by all the soung guys, performance credits included in the album). EDIT: random trivia, though listed at the end 3.14 is actually used in the game's intro, so it goes first. 1.01 is the title music. Last edited by Dag; Jan 14, 2012 at 02:31 AM. |

So, the composer attributed should actually be William Holford. Watts still has no business being credited as composer though. As for Handel, he was long dead and buried by the time Joy to the World came about. If anyone's interested, have a listen to what Handel actually composed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WkyTwXa4Tw As you can hear, it's just the first four notes that are the same as Joy. To give you an idea of how ridiculous this attribution could be, the truly complete accreditation would be: "Arranged by Mitsuto Suzuki & Tsuyoshi Sekito et al., based on an adaptation by Lowell Mason of a composition by William Holford expanded from an English folk-tune which may or may not have been inspired by measure 1 of "Lift Up Your Heads" from Handel's Messiah." Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

Ha ha, I see what you mean Jormungand.
Dag was correct in his interpretation of what I said. My basic premise was that one "old timey composer" was credited, it was in the track itself, but then if one is credited should not another? You are right on that it would be William Holford, even though the naming only became Joy to the World after the lyrics by watts. |
