While the autotuned vocals are a bit silly (the lyrics were actually written by LILT Records’s Nima), they work will with the incredibly upbeat and retro electronic backing which goes from Rockman to schmup territory. ReX provides us with the simple but amazingly well produced “Airwave” while XeoN’s tasty “Dream of Winds” with its classy piano bridge section and “Eternal Fantasy” with its reverberating soundscapes and belltone melody that would be right at home in Chrono Trigger’s Kingdom of Zeal are two of my favorite tracks on the album.Īnother favorite of mine is “XLASHER,” which comes courtesy of Shinji Hosoe and vocalist Mr. I immediately began to worry about how the rest of the album would unfold, but fortunately we do get some memorable electronic pieces from artists ReX and XeoN. The album opens with a relatively standard techno track titled “Dual Strikers.” It works well enough as a driving electronic piece, but it doesn’t do much to set itself apart from other tracks on the album. The package is awesome (just like the original DJMAX TECHNIKA collection), but let’s get on to the music.
This is all tucked away inside of a fancy box with a nifty magnetic flap that keeps it closed.
The DJMAX TECHNIKA 2 Signature Collection not only includes this two disc soundtrack (with the second disc dedicated to bonus material), but it also contains a key chain, a sticker sheet, a platinum member’s card, and a card case. So, does DJMAX TECHNIKA 2 do the franchise justice, or does it disappoint? Find out in our review after the jump. However, after being slightly disappointed with the DJMAX Trilogy Soundtrack, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The original DJMAX TECHNIKA is not only an amazing game (I’m lucky enough to have machine at a local arcade here in San Diego), but the pop and electronic-oriented soundtrack was one of my favorites of 2008. You may recall us mentioning the DJMAX TECHNIKA 2 Signature Collection a couple months ago, and I’ve been looking forward to checking it out ever since I laid eyes on it. It’s a good time for game music from Korea. We recently posted the trailer for DJMAX Portable 3, which is due out later this year, and it was just two nights ago that we highlighted DJMAX contributor Nauts’s work on BAR OASIS. So much DJMAX lately! Let that be an indication to you that it’s good stuff.
