The leading instruments are none other than hopeful bagpipes and winds interacting flawlessly with their artificial backing. The theme to the next city (“City of Diaraba”) has its background elements constituted of purely synthetic pads as well as a couple of weird robotic noises. The mood, however, keeps being rather carefree. All of a sudden, a crash of male voices and dominant brass reminds us that the city is under martial law. The first scenic piece, “City of Dorgandy”, features a lively tune played by winds and backed by snare, as in any generic RPG town music. The progression on the setting tracks is remarkable, and deserves a little more attention. This antagonism can be clearly heard on the various battle themes (tracks 16 to 21), as well as on city themes (tracks 29 to 33), where step-by-step, as the player advances into enemy territory, cheerfulness and folk instruments make place for despair and technological sounds.

However, the sound programming on this album takes total advantage of these limitations. This is why several instruments - especially horns and strings - do not sound like real ones. As you may know, the technology of the platform didn’t allow as realistic renditions as with later systems. Bodyįirst of all, let me remind you that this album has been released right in the middle of the PlayStation era.

Back then, Noriko Matsueda, who took part in the composing of the Front Mission soundtrack along with Yoko Shimomura, was given full powers to compose the entirety of this new episode’s score.
