Definitely.

They worked on Rebus/Kartia too. That must've been the only time those guys have tried for a more classical/traditional sound and I thought it worked pretty well. Both Persona 2 games have good soundtracks too.

I definitely want to hear more from Kenichi Tsuchiya in particular, as I actually liked his tracks in Nocturne more than those of Shoji Meguro. His battle tracks (Demons, Beelzebub, and Metatron in addition to Amala) were really good and the Mansion of Heresy stuff was as well.

To stay on topic, I like Meguro, though I'm not a big fan like some folks are. However, I've only heard his stuff from SMT Nocturne as I have yet to try DDS.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for the offer. Maybe you could upload it to VGM Central. Truth is, I own Digital Devil Saga the game, but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet. I think I'll try DDS once I finish Suikoden V.

Along with Hidehito Aoki and Kenichi Tsuchiya. I believe Aoki is listed as sound director/composer while the other two are listed as composers in my Eternal Punishment (not sure about Innocent Sin, which I don't own) liner notes. There's a composer's notes section however that was written only by Kurokawa. It doesn't get more specific than that, unfortunately. Rebus does actually list which tracks were composed by Tsuchiya and which by Kurokawa though (about a 50/50 split there, if I remember correctly). It seems that Aoki only played a sound director role in that one.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I can share it for a while on my laptop, but my Mac would be better as it's the difference between 60GB of download/share space and 620GB. On top of that, I can do a lossless rip for the GFF tracker, though I thought there already was one.

That'd be great. I suppose you could just let me know via PM or something when you've got it. I'm in no rush since I'd prefer to play the game(s) first anyhow.

I don't have much else to add to the topic, so, err...rock on.

How ya doing, buddy?
