Gyakuten Meets Orchestra

[CroMagnon]

I think i might have picked this up from somewere in the forums. I might have not. But this has to be the one reason videogame music should be taken seriously, by EVERYONE. Its just so damn BADASS.

This album totally came out of left field. After a few limited releases of the various OSTs in the Gyakuten Saiban series, Tanomicom announced plans to make an orchestral CD, arranged by Noriyuki Iwadare himself. People's spirits were high until Nintendo posted some sound samples, featuring poorly done MIDI arrangements. Of course, Nintendo being the PR experts they are (calling Lunar Dragon Song an RTS is another example), they had actually gone and posted a MIDI score of what would be an actual orchestral recording. That's the history behind the album from a fan's perspective. In the end, hopes were high, as they should have been.

I bought the album, it's pretty awesome. Good songs overall, especially if you enjoy orchestrated music
