The Yuki Kajiura Anime & Game Music Guide

Then, I will make an appointment with a therapist because I had it on loop during the morning.

@grunty: I happened to finally watch .hack Luminality" and i think i spotted 2 bgm alternates on ep 3 (In the Case of Kyoko Tohno)
first is 13:56 and the 2nd is 22:59 I ll have to check with the soundtrack but i dont remember hearing those before. (careful cause 2nd timestamp has huge spoilers)
- There also seems to be an extended ver of Edge on ep 4 at the 2nd half

Different than what I included?

I'm currently doing another re-rip... (and no, I've not yet gone back to finishing Hokuto bd rerip... iSuck.)
 
MADLAX
Re-rip by yours truly.

So 13 years ago I said the English 5.1 upmix was garbage. And it is.
But NOW I also realized that the middle DVDs had all the channels desynched. After I fixed that per DVD, the music in L+R channels actually started sounding right. So... as usual it turned into a project, rather than a hackjob that I was expecting to be doing. The rear channels weren't of much use in any episodes due to their sound. Some episodes still sound significantly worse than others (ep22&23 are a nightmare), so in a few tracks you will hear a significant shift in quality in the middle...

There's also PLENTY of dialogue (because they just had to throw it in every channel) and SFX in here. Watch out for SFX particularly in lostcommand(edit) and noman'sland, do NOT make those louder than your regular comfortable setup. In general I tried removing SFX but if the differences in music quality after the fact were bothering me too much, I usually left them alone.

I did my best. Gomen.

I skipped:
- all the holy CHANTS. I doubt they are by Kajiura since I don't think a single one of them made it to the OSTs. I might make an update with them later.
- nowhere(instrumental). It's not a full instrumental (all the Nishina kajiurago and adlibs are always there) and it's just a pain in the ass since it's an action track... I might get back to it later.

Other than that and an occasional few seconds trimmed here and there (and ~20seconds of wooshes in the middle of UNR#21, which appeared only in one episode with a lot of dialogue; I improvised a shorter version), this should be just about everything.

Thanks grunty!

holy cows that chirping bird sound at first unr was firstly used in Madlax ?! All these years i had associated with KnK ^^;
 
Another release on this thread:
8e0c4d074dc814ba0aac5239288f49da.gif


Me running into saints#2 :sohappy:and me realizing that it's not a clean audio extract :rain:
Hate you BeeTrain, and hate the person who decided that releasing a OST#3 was not a good idea (sorry if it was YK lol).
 
^ But with Bee-Train Kajiura made her most carefree soundtracks, so thats a good trade-off (or as they say in FMA "equalevant exchange" lol)
 
Im watching Gundam Seed and i noticed that on ep 29 there is an alternate ver of Distance where there is Yuriko chorus at the beginning but without Wakana, starts at 21:57
 
I wouldn't count on it but I guess it could get released in the upcoming SEED memorial soundtrack box, since it specifically comes with a bonus Remaster BGM disc.
 
Holy mother of god.

I went on VGMDB look at Sahashi's entry and I noticed King of Thorn OST finally got an official release. ITS ANOTHER MIRACLE! (After WfS2.)

Oh my god... if Ko Otani's ANOTHER got a full OST after all these years too... I'd jizz my pants.
 
I also spotted longer ver of Life goes on, on episode 25 of Gundam Seed Destiny at 21:34. It begins with Piano and ballad style.
