I haven't played Dark Cloud in a while (though I probably should finish the bonus dungeon someday), but this mix still brought out the best audio parts of the Game. The soundtrack wasn't exactly spectacular, and there actually wasn't music playing for a lot of the game, but Blue Magic really captured the best of it. Very good ambience throughout the whole thing, and just fun to listen to.

Actually I don't remember any part where there wasn't music playing. I thought the game had some great, unique music. I haven't listened to it for a while, but I can think of at least a half-dozen Dark Cloud songs off the top of my head that I'd gladly stick on a playlist.

Anyway, I reviewed Moon Dust back on VGMix, but I believe that was an older version. I'll have to see how this one turns out.

Having not heard the original source, I can't really come to an accord on the origin of the off tune mishaps...but I do know that they alone are making it harder for me to write this :P

My basis of affliction is not a matter of them simply being off tune, but rather, the disturbance they create to the designated ambience. It is so relaxed and straight-forward, and then some random bright colors spring into the air. It just doesn't quite blend with the chilling guitar riff or piano.

Maybe the original intention of the source material is to give it that goofy, mysterious aura, but here, coming from bare-bones listening, I hope I can get my hands on a version without our little intruders

This is a really great piece, and I do think that the off-key notes add character.

Beautiful feel overall, a worthwhile and satisfying listen. Definitely recommended.

This is pretty cool and get's pretty crazy in some parts

Theres so much going on but the melody keeps everything together, especially how its always coming out of the left ear

The pianos the best thing in the song along with the synth lead. I think if the drums just stuck with a simple beat it would clean up the song a bunch

but nonetheless it's a good song, I've had it on repeat for quite a while

Not precisely something you can keep playing in the background, but it is a work of art. My only complaint is that it seems generally unbalanced towards the left speaker, which bothers my right ear.

Sorry to be the annoying guy who does this, but the Moon Stage was definatley from Drack Cloud 2.

Anyway, on to the review.

Very good mellow. Reminds me of the low, laid back Moon theme. It doesnt detract form the original's vibe, which is very positive. I do think it could make a very nice background tune, even though it is a bit complex for one. I wish it was longer though. ;_;

The source material may also be used/revised in Dark Chronicle, but it's from Dark Cloud. Thanks.

You used the same melody from Jay-Z's "Reasonable Doubt".
Pretty cool.
