I’ve been listening to obscure snes soundtracks lately … and I think I need a break. Maybe I’ll go for something more sophisticated (Divinity 2) to remind myself why I actually enjoy digging around for kickass tracks. Not to say that there’s no good snes music, but there’s a lot of difficult stuff for my ears to sift through.

But hey, looks like I’ve found another favorite video game composer: Kirill Pokrovsky. He won a few awards for his amazing soundtrack on the first of the series “Divine Divinity” back in 2002. He follows up with Divinity 2, and it’s also excellent. The emotional orchestration and fantasy atmosphere is spot on.

It looks awesome that you can actually be a dragon in this fantasy adventure (instead of just killing them).

Leave it to Atlus to publish a game like this. A hybrid puzzle game/adult-themed date sim with anime crazy visuals. You spend most of the game in a dreamworld pushing around boxes dressed like a sheep, trying not to die a horrible death. Its kind of fun.

I haven’t listened to a lot of Atlus games, but I’ll be fishing them out from now on.
Composed by Shoji Meguro, with Atsushi Kitajo and Kenichi Tsuchiya

Crusader: No Regret

Crusader: No Regret was the sequel to Crusader: No Remorse, released a year later (1996) and only was for the PC. This time there were more weapons and animations, but a little less story.

Dan Gardopee and Andrew Sega composed a completely new soundtrack. Although using the same instrument base of electronic guitars and beats, you can notice a slight subtle change to a more ambient atmosphere. Perhaps they were going for more of an outer space feel, since the game takes place on the moon. In any case, the majority of the songs are still nostalgically delicious.
