Note that I'm not sure if the track order is final since the site has it marked as contents and not the usual 'tracklist'.

Changed "Battle II" to "Decisive Battle II" as that is the correct English equivalent to the Japanese. The English tracklist on the website is definitely in error.

Regarding "A Settlement in the Bluffs," to my ears, it sounds like there are several notes that are off-key as the string instruments increase in speed. Are these off key notes a Japanese musical quirk or part of the Celtic musical style?

But I do suspect pitch-bending was written into the piece, and Asian music will intentionally write in quarter-steps as well. There are definitely times the two "dueling" string instruments harmonize on quarter-step intervals, which sound fairly displeasing to our ears (especially in this context! We could handle it better in a solo performance of a slower song, I think). It was a bold choice, but it's not due to bad performance. |

Thanks for the information. I wasn't sure if the off-key notes were bad performance or intentional in the song until you answered. (Due to my lack of musical composition education, I thought the song was some kind of Irish jig, which is why I defaulted to "Celtic." I never thought about bluegrass fiddle music.) |
