The other mix, handled by Hirokazu Koshio, is "Syvalion Arrange Mix". As it progresses, the mysteriousness of the piece becomes one that is more heroic in nature. It's a mysterious piano theme that evolves into a more orchestral theme with some industrial backing. "Syvalion Arrange ONE" is arranged by Shohei Tsuchiya, who composed most of this soundtrack. Two of the themes are from Yasuhisa "Yack" Watanabe's Syvalion work. There is also another interesting surprise for this soundtrack. I can't quite discern the theme from Darius II, but I know it's there. You'll hear portions of "Boss Scene 7" from Darius, "Visionnerz" from Darius Gaiden, and "Adam" from G-Darius. It's an effective industrial fusion that progresses through music from each of the classic Darius games. Even though it was arranged by Hirokazu Koshio, fans of classic Darius should not fret! In terms of musical direction, this one is more in tune with Darius Gaiden and G-Darius as well. The other theme that credits, in part, OGR is "I LED NU-RED-GAS". It's a fantastic piece and it really makes me, a huge classic Darius fan, wonder what a solo OGR Darius Burst score would sound like. The insane electronic beats and accompaniments that accentuate the vocal samples are absolutely delicious nectar for the ears. It's a blend of new music, to fit with the overall direction of the soundtrack, but it still manages to put that OGR stamp on it. At the same time, however, it's an evolved form of these themes. Presumably the final boss theme, it is more in line with Ogura's more experimental scores in the Darius series, Darius Gaiden and G-Darius. Unfortunately for them, he only returns to compose one new track, entitled"Hello 31337".


Dariusburst soundtrack series#
Many fans of the Darius series were hoping that Hisayoshi Ogura would be returning to score the soundtrack, hoping to hear more of that classic Darius sound. Read on to find out if the Darius Burst Original Soundtrack lives up to its predecessors in terms of musicality. There are also a couple of surprises in store as well. Fret not though, as OGR returns to compose one new theme for the series. Unfortunately, OGR is no longer with Zuntata, so much of the music was composed by the current members Hirokazu Koshio and Shohei Tsuchiya. It's been a long time since the last Darius game and Darius Burst serves as a hopeful revival of the series. Although the music started off rather typical for a shmup, as the series evolved, the music became much more complex and much more experimental in nature. The first four games, composed by Hisayoshi Ogura, known to many simply as OGR, really demonstrated an evolution of the music of the series. Although there are many classic horizontal shmups, the one whose music is nearest and dearest to my heart belongs to the Darius series.
