This early
1990's soundtrack by composer Ko
Otani is certainly a lively, to the say the least,
collection of music. The score has a very unorthodox style
to it, which will likely be hit or miss with some. The
standout cue on this disc is the theme "Job Hunting",
which sounds like it would have almost been more at home
in a Sonic the Hedgehog or 1080° Snowboarding
game. The track's slightly repetitive nature coupled with
simplistic orchestration that is aided by electronic music
gives the theme a video game like flavor, yet the theme's
upbeat tempo makes it a fairly pleasant experience. This
is especially crucial given that a modified version of
the theme also appears on track 11, meaning that almost
20% of this CD is comprised of this theme as each clocks
in at over five minutes in length. "Ain't Nothing
Wrong" also has this video game style vibe to it.
Likewise, due to a fast tempo and upbeat pacing the track
is also pretty enjoyable. The disc is uneven in some places,
though, particularly the slow paced "Mariko"
cue which tends to long outlive its welcome during its
four minute runtime. "MM-h" is another of these
themes that tend to miss their mark, as it's a very low
key cue that just doesn't work well as a stand alone experience.
As for the song "At What Time" by Makihara Noriyuki,
it's not bad although isn't particularly memorable all
the same. It's definitely feels like a standard 1990's
pop song, that's for sure, although it is nice to have
two different versions of the melody here, one with more
contemporary background music and the other with an orchestra
playing in the background.
Overall, the CD isn't great, but its unorthodox and diverse
collection of themes should appeal to some, particularly
those looking for more of Otani's earlier work.
