The King of Fighters XIII - Eye of the Storm [Dark Ash Order Select]

Well, this is the song that plays during the order select before you fight the Final Boss of the King of Fighters XIII, Dark Ash, which is Saiki controlling Ash's body. Kinda funny how they made a song for a part of the game you can't listen to past the 10 second mark due to the Order Counter.

This tune does not appear at all in the OST of the game, making it a sort of 'Lost Song', so it had to be ripped from the actual game.

"Eye of the Storm" is a title I gave it myself, since it's after you encountered the first part of the 'storm' (Saiki), reached the calm in the middle before having to face the 'storm' again (Dark Ash) to exit it.

This sounded like the greatest thing ever when I first heard it. Then with the leak, was eager to hear it in high quality. Then 0:17 came along... For once I think the guitars really take away from it.

@SestrenNK I tried to loop the part without guitar separately, but the ambient sounds in the background that play during the main tune make it impossible.

This BGM is perfect. It suddenly fills you with a sense of nothingness and melancholy. It perfectly reflects Dark Ash's personality.

@SestrenNK I agree. I do wish the piano piece had lasted longer or that the guitar piece were lower or maybe slower. Unfortunately, this tune is only used for the order select, which only lasts 20 seconds on the regular setting, so I guess that didn't give them much time to draw out. But, the game comes out over here in two weeks; maybe they went the 'Blazblue' route and also made this theme the main menu theme too...

@OrgXIII4U Nice insight, and yeah, I also came to that same conclusion as to why they did it. Still, I guess looking at it from purely a musical standpoint, and not as much what it represents, I still wish the heavy atmospheric portion in the beginning at least lasted much longer than it did. Or perhaps if the guitar sounded more brooding and complimented the mood more rather than change it.

@SestrenNK You know, I thought so too, but the more I listened and thought about it, the more I realized why they did it. I actually kind of like how appropriate it is; the echoing piano is sad and tragic for Ash, but then the guitar kicks in as if to remind you, "Hey focus! This is the final battle, and the SNK Boss Syndrome is revving up. Wipe your tears away, so you don't get pounded into paste."
