Unusual and unexpected for me, I rate this soundtrack as I experienced it in game, not as the music by itself. By itself, I would give it a 90, but with the games visuals in mind, and easy 100. The violin mixed in brings sadness, excitement, and a lust for exploration and the new. Some tracks convey surface level emotions, while others put you into a deep and somber rest. Its truly a beautiful set of music made by one an extremely talented person.
Its the perfect jazz fusion album in existence. It does not get better than this. Takanaka can rock a guitar like no other.
If aliens visited Earth in an attempt to enslave the human race, the only thing to send them back would be this exact album.
