[Album] I.Q. Final Perfect Music File (SVWC-7015)

I.Q. Final Perfect Music File (SVWC-7015)
Composer: Takayuki Hattori

I actually never have played Intelligent Qube. My extent of exposure to the game was watching a friend play it, perhaps on a demo disc, years back. Though I only watched, I also got to listen to its music as well. What little I could remember of it, I did actually enjoy. The uniqueness of this OST, to me, is in the fact that I don't know of any other OST with music that I use the word "intelligent" or "smart" to describe.

It has it's subpar tracks, but it also has some really good ones, in my opinion.
Overall rating: 3.5/5

Track listing:

01 Opening Chorus
A short opening, but I like the flourish of vocals to it. 3/5

02 Sign
This one's all right, but nothing really memorable to it. 2.5/5

03 The 1st Tide
One of those "intelligent" tracks like I mentioned above, and one of my favorites. 4.5/5

04 Ecliptic
A faster arrangement of "The 1st Tide". Very Good. I especially like the brass and vocals at 1'02" and 2'24". 5/5

05 Depths
This one sounds mostly mellow. Decent, but nothing amazing. 2.5/5

06 Crisis Visit
An okay song, with that urgent feel about it. 3/5

07 Courage and Hope
This one's alright, but it's a little short as well. 3/5

08 Ending Chorus ~ Beginning of the Universe
This one's a little odd to me, as the vocals will sound decent in one part and eerie in another. 3/5

09 Continental Shift
It sounds like some kind of funeral dirge or something. A bit eerie up until the end. 2/5

10 4 Horned Tower
This one sounds a bit on the strange side. Not much stands out aside from that. 2.5/5

11 The 2nd Tide
Again, I like the "intelligent" sound of it. Another of my favorites. 4.5/5

12 Compass Points to the Future
I like the fanfarish sound of this one. 4/5

13 Crisis Evasion
I like the urgent feel about this one, and their short use of the vocals. 4/5

14 Theory
Another of my favorites. It sounds fairly similar to "The 2nd Tide". 4.5/5

15 Battle to the Death
Short. One of the average tracks on the OST in my mind. 2.5/5

16 March of the Dark Army
This one's not really that great to me, either. I would almost say it sucks, but that's kind of stretching it. 1.5/5

17 Pharoah's Treasure
Not really anything memorable about this one to me. 2/5

18 Tectonics ~ Opened Gate
This one's okay, but nothing really striking. 2.5/5

19 Healing Light
As the name somewhat implies, this one is a relaxing piece for me. I think it's pretty good. 3.5/5

20 Sleeping Forest's Song
Short, but soothing. I haven't a clue what this might've played for, though. 3.5/5

21 Morgan's Theme
The beginning of this sounds like Alfred Newman's Fox Fanfare theme. I guess it's just the drums. Short track, too. 2/5

22 Short Blessing
One of those really short fanfares. 3/5

23 Praise the Vanquished
I assume this to be the stage cleared theme. Not much to really say about it, being as short as it is. 3/5

24 Temporary Funeral Attendance
The "lost life" theme. Really short; again, not too much to say about it. 2/5

That's my take on it; anyone else have any thoughts? If you don't have it, it can be found on Tappy's FTP, at least.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
