The Star Onions Vol. 2 - Sanctuary

Sanctuary THE STAR ONIONS

I'm gonna have to import a copy or maybe now that I have a MP3 player again I'll just see about getting it off iTunes.

Not all the tracks get samples, but from what you can listen to, it seems with went more for straight instrumental versions of the music rather than experimental versions. What's there is beautiful, but it is a little disappointing to not hear some more experimentation with music we've heard countless times.

Very interested in hearing the Promyvion track, though.

Ignore my thought processes for a moment, and this is pretty off topic, but maybe SE should release area music for existing zones with those miniexpansions. More areas of FFXI really deserve music, like Valkurm, or Davoi, or Delkfutt's.

Looks like something to look for at the Book-off when I go back to Japan in August as I quite enjoyed their first album.

I agree.

Same for me on Fighters of the Crystal

Just received my CD yesterday. This is more or less true of more than half the tracks. Some of it, of course, sounds great and I kind of want to start playing with the music files in the game again and replace them with some of these.

The tracks that did do something somewhat different with the music though:
"Xarcabard"
"Fighters of the Crystal"
"Distant Worlds"
"Griffons Never Die"
"Wings of the Goddess"

I kind of feel "Gustaberg" was a waste of a track, since we got something very similar with the Chains of Promathia soundtrack already.

Oh, and the acordian features very heavily on many tracks.
