![]() Take that Kefka! Unfortunately, they aren't close to being as great as "Dancing Mad". Then we get to the last boss who got not one, but three songs for himself. There's a different choice of instruments and a totally different composition, but I don't think it was a bad idea. Well we're almost at the end of the soundtrack/game, time for more battle music! "Midair Giant Playground Battle" is quite different from the rest composition of the album. "Gondola Star" is special, it's got a weird sound that I just can't recognize (weird whistling or a cello that's off?) and as a whole it sounds a bit Arabic, but it's fast paced and people like me enjoy that. ![]() Again lots of harp and a bit of organ give off this chill factor to suit better the boss you're fighting. "Frost Dragon" is another nice battle theme. The bells, flute and especially the harp really gives you the feel of the north and of the cold. It captivates me each time I listen to it. This is AN epic song and I mean "running-for-your-life-to-go-smite-the-bad-guy-with-a-vengeance" epic! I can't see any other way of describing it. I just love how the drums, synthesized violins and flutes make this song come alive literally. This is one of the really good non-battle songs. This discs starts with the second best song of the soundtrack, "Statue of an Angel". I hate it when good beats are cut drastically for no reason. The only thing that annoys me slightly about this song is that it cuts two times to insert a carrousel theme. Drum, the synthesizers, the organ, every instrument (I say this because Tsuyoshi Sekito uses some weird sounds at times) is used to make this fast and epic battle come to life. "Vambee Church Battle" is absolutely the best battle theme of this soundtrack. The last track of disc one of Brave Fencer Musashiden is as epic as the soundtrack itself. Drums, synthesizer, flute, triangle, bells and harp mix in a way that the beat created by this song is absolutely captivating. It's one of the songs with the most instruments. Now "Let's go bowling!", however goofy the name may sounds, it's definitely one of my favourite songs on the album. They're both fast paced, TSGH is sort of techno-ish and HV is epic, and that's why I like them. "The steamwood gone haywire!" and "Hell's Valley" are both songs that you like for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, I haven't played the game so I don't know ^_^ Thus this gives me a good idea of what the Steam Knight might have been, a giant robot. This isn't one of the best boss themes, but the relatively slow rhythms mixed with the drums in the background gives me the impressions of something gigantic and destructive, but yet slow. Till you get to the first battle song of the soundtrack "Steam Knight". I didn't find that any songs in the beginning were any interested. Not only the battle themes distinguish themselves in this soundtrack, but a good number of other songs in the soundtrack like "Statue of an Angel" make this soundtrack quite enjoyable. A matter a fact, I first heard a part of the soundtrack when Shinryuu sent me some battle themes for the battle music radio. I will remember this soundtrack because of the excellent quality of its battle themes. ![]() The order of the songs follows the progress of the game itself. Unlike previous soundtrack I reviewed, Dew Prism, the Brave Fencer Musashiden OST which also has 2 CDs follows the more traditional chronological approach. It uses rhythms, percussions and often fast paced music to get you this feeling of adventure. Yet what music really defines a hero? What makes a particular type of music suiting for a hero involved in a quest? That's what we'll try to figure out in this review of the Brave Fencer Musashiden OST, a soundtrack that easily fits the classic storyline of a hero/quest RPG. Heroes… There are as many kinds of heroes as there are flowers in the world.
