Atelier Iris Eternal Mana

[Drakken]

Anyone here like AIEM's soundtrack? This is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time, and I haven't even played the game (hopefully that will change, since NIS America will now be releasing it in the US). It's a very diverse, excellent soundtrack; almost every song is fantastic.

Here are some music samples:

Alchemic Blast (http://www.salburg.com/products/a6/mp3/sample06.mp3) (normal battle)
Ferocious Drive (http://www.salburg.com/products/a6/mp3/sample07.mp3) (normal boss battle)
Distant Hometown (http://www.salburg.com/products/a6/mp3/Map.mp3) (map)

I really like the Eternal Mana soundtrack. And I've begun to start enjoying the entire Atelier series. I just ordered the Atelier Marie soundtrack, so I'm very excited about that. But yeah, the Eternal Mana soundtrack is especially good. Three of my favorite songs are: Alchemic Blast, Lost Technology and Popcorn Strategy.

I acquired this soundtrack a couple weeks ago, due to some positive reviews I'd heard. Frankly, it's one of the best soundtracks so far this year (second to Katamari Damacy). One of the best aspects of the album is how varied the all the tracks are. You have the light-hearted pieces, such as "Money Lecture" or the "Fun Shopping in" tracks (I really enjoy how they're all variations on the same theme), and at the same time, there are these quiet, soothing pieces ("Waterdrop Waltz") and then hard rock (I LOVE "Deceitful Wings").

It's an all-around excellent soundtrack, and for that I'd rate it 5 stars.
