Shoji Meguro while still does solid tracks, imo is kind of overrated. Kenichi Tsuchiya (the one that composed the old Megaten/Persona games) is much better. I'd also take Yuzo Koshiro, Manabu Namiki, Masaharu Iwata, and Minako Adachi over Meguro any day.
Oh, I beg to differ. One of the most irritating things a composer can do is overuse one tool in whatever he's working on to ill effect, case in point here being the droning illegible screaming. It's fine if it goes well, but if it doesn't, I'm required as the one playing the game to sit through it every time it plays.
Nocturne got this treatment. Digital Devil Saga and the Devil Summoner series, however... now those are a completely different story.
I just searched for this and noticed your lament at the chances of the second Raidou Kuzonoha coming to the US. Atlus must've heard your prayers because it's coming May 09. ;D
Praise be to Atlus! =D And it's my birth month too!
Although I wish they didn't call it Devil Summoner 2 - it's just gonna cause another naming problem. But I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth.
"Devil Summoner Sound Collection - Hyper Rearrange Collection"..... Google the fuck out of this one. Basically, all the !LOST! tracks came with the game in Japan. Whoo.
been lookin for this for awhile now it wasnt on the ost did you rip this from the game cd? as cool as shoji meguro's music is he always seems to leave some of the best tracks of the osts
Holy crap.... i've been looking for this song forever! Is there some actual complete soundtrack besides the "OST" out? I'd love it if you could tell me where you found this song.
Actually i know what OST it's from..... but i have yet to find this song or the "town" theme.... if you know where to get them i would REALLY appreciate it if you shared with me lol

@ranchdressing Those two choices are too godly to make a choice.

Bullcrap. Light and Dark versions have some of the most awesome battle themes. Just because they're not SMT-esque doesn't mean they're bad.

@pentherapy I wish I could at least make out what the fuck they're saying, but it's still pretty much the "grow-on-you" kinda cool.

@pentherapy No, it doesn't. Infact, it made me not want to play Nocturne at all.

It's easier to deal with it if you think of it more as Devil Summoner Raidou 2.
I doubt we're ever getting Soulhackers anyway.
