Fate/zero Original Soundtracks Vol. 1

^ Nope, it's definitely not Fion. Her voice is more thin and "frail" sounding than that sample's, I think :ayashii:
 
does any body have the bluray box I scans or booklet...so please share it...please.....


:nosebleed: x :nosebleed:
 
I gave the OST a good listen through and I liked it enough but I felt a lot of it was boring and underwhelming. "Point Zero" and "Let the Stars Fall" are such wonderful tracks and so craftily arranged, I especially love the use of Brass instruments which Yuki so rarely uses love how it's all for orchestrations and the use of the Choir.

But most of the OST after that is bland and boring. I only watched one episode of Fate/Zero which bored me so much I haven't picked up an episode since. Most of the tracks are quiet and just meh the usual mix of electronics and low stringed instruments. I think if this OST was for a mystery or horror I'd really be effective but given that it's for what I assume would be an epic Fantasy I'd expect a lot more intense and action tracks.

I was also hoping for more brass arrangements with a big orchestra arrangement, given the size of horn section alone and even a modest Trombone section (My former instrument, YAY), so really disappointed that it fell flat so quickly. Much of it boring and I only kept 5 of the tracks for my Ipod. It's about average for Kajiura these days which is better than most but still not what I see as her full potential.

At least the OST is longer than Madoka's OST which were like 10 tracks with absurdly short run times.
 
@Rishi: I tried to scan as much as I could of the booklet but it did not turn out well. So I just gave george the info about the music. It should be somewhere on this thread. heh

The TV series isn't really about action, contrary to what most would expect. So, in a sense, she made the right tracks. BUT! The tracks are bland as well and don't too much to the atmosphere of the scenes so I'd say a part of this OST is a big letdown.
 
Well, that's the way it is, and Yuki herself confirmed that she's differentiating "standout" BGMs and "atmospheric background" BGMs nowadays. If you want a majority of the former, then Bee Train era, or Petite Cossette, or RHH, or KnK abridged to the best collection, or MadoMagi abridged to one separate one-cour OST CD are your best bets. :sparkleguy:
 
Maybe she should try to make "good atmospheric soundtracks", which she hasn't been doing lol
 
It could be tricky, since a noticeably good melody would stand out automatically, ruining the purpose. :XD:

Although Evacuation, Incertus and Confessio come to mind, as well as a handful of KnK BGMs... :ayashii:
 
I said good atmospheric soundtracks. That has nothing to do with noticeably good melody, it has to do with at least noises that enhance the mood. Like the one she used for the last F/Z episode. More than half of the F/Z atmospheric songs did nothing to add to the mood.
 
Well, guess what, if you go to other forums other people (may or do) agree with me. I even discussed with some people about F/Z's OST ("defending it", the irony), mind you.
 
Exactly. Then perhaps you should have the same mentality each and every time you try to defend Kajiura so passionately against critical posts.
 
I've already trained myself to overlook most of Grunty's reviews, but the rest is still in blueprints. :XD: But no matter how passionate is my claim, nobody's obliged to accept it as their own.
 
Oh was it just OST I or both ? and how do they know that the OSt sold? from the sales of the BD LE ? That's not really safe because some might bought it just for the anime episodes :XD:
