You know, it's really difficult to get a decent impression of the music in this show because of how quiet it is...
I've not checked Chapter 2 or 1 since they came out but I remember really not caring for the music in the 2nd one - it just seemed way too dank.
From what you posted Chapter 3 seems to have some neat ideas mixed in, even if the full tracks might still end up on the boring side. Even the opening credits strings have some non-current-standard-Kajiura things going on there. That piano loop at 3m and 4m15 in #6 (holy shit are those strings dramatic for the scene compared to the rest of the show, lol). That jazzyish piano/harp/xylophone instrumental against standard strings in #11 shadows&fog arrange certainly feels more specific to the PriPri world. Hopefully #12 is longer on OST.

PS.
Chapter 3 bluray comes out November 22.

It doesn't sound half bad. Though I think one theme, featured in #5, is a slight (perhaps fairly obvious, even) loan from Gustav Holst's "Planets," specifically the poem "I Vow to Thee My Country".

I've always loved YK's cello arrangements. Actually, I can't think of a single piece by YK for cello that fails.

I think you pertaining to "Jupiter" Ayaka Hirahara has a song also for that lol

"cpm"

shadow and fog still the best. 2nd is lost butterfly. 3rd strings are eh, although the piano loop makes it creepy...

Edit:
Added this to the random goodies thread, with some other older BD menu rips.

Added a shitty downmix of the music to post-322856 on page34.
There could be repeats and OST tracks, I did not double check.
Another 4 years til the OST. ^_^
