Short and lovely and surprisingly memorable and emotional for being just barely over 20 seconds in length. To bring back Hamauzu from the last paragraph, the first piece on the album is actually reminiscent of some of Hamauzu's more simplistic piano pieces (specifically "DG � Sadness" from Unlimited SaGa). There is quite a plethora of composers from this title, but the styles are not so different as, say, the trio on Final Fantasy X, that it distracts instead, each composer contributes something to the complete whole of this score that I can barely tell the difference when a piece is composed by one composer over another.

There is a lot of musical depth to this score, which holds up to repeated listens and has the power to bring a smile to anyone's face. There is that 'cute factor' on nearly every piece of this album that should, in theory, become tiring very quickly, but under further examination, it turns out that these are not just shallow, cheesy pieces. That would be where Klonoa: Door to Phantomile comes in. There comes a time, though, when you experience something so cheerful, so absolutely adorable that you can't help but love it. I love the steady action music of Hitoshi Sakimoto, Masashi Hamauzu's use of creative dissonance, and battle themes in general.

I'll admit that my tastes in music tend to be on the darker and brooding variety. Klonoa of the Wind ~Door to Phantomile~ Original Soundtrack Klonoa of the Wind Original Soundtrack :: Review by Juan2Darien
