Deltra Quest

As is surprising with a game having a poor sales (2,000 copies first day), this game gets a 3CD soundtrack release on December 21th and both original versions (which are often called as arranged versions while they are composed ahead, btw) and DS's sampler versions are included. I've heard some of the rips and think it does well in the variety department in comparison to... *cough* most of his 2007 releases.

I'll add this to GMRonline later if PV doesn't with another happy addition to Odin Sphere.

This is out today. On the first listen, I feel it's Basiscape's best release 2007 (that though doesn’t amount to a big compliment, based on much of ASH, Grim Grimoire and Odin Sphere, and messy arrangements of FFT A2). My expectation was, frankly, very low. I sampled several tracks from the rip, and wasn't motivated to hear any more partially because of the poor sound quality.

The main composers are Sakimoto and Kaneda, then Abe and Iwata. Noriyuki Kamikura who I was curious about is responsible mainly for jingles, barring one track which is actually decent. I have a mixed feeling about Kaneda, though.

Btw, 2-20 is just a clip off of Grayl... *cough*
