AKA, Happy Halloween?

I'm personally still waiting on them shipping those acrylic stands :\

(Also I have too much stuff on pre-order. The black box necklace from Nier Automata, Nines figure, Lost Sphear, this, and the Nier Automata concert Bluray. Damn.)

Hm, I like the battle theme rearrangements a lot, but other than that, I can’t say i appreciate that they changed the instruments. Maybe it’s just me, ut I enjoyed the Orchestra concert themes a lot more

Which doesn’t at all mean that these tracks AREN’T great though. I get what they were going for, it’s just not my cup of tea. Not exactly. Just feels like something’s missing in all of the tracks, a certain feeling.

I'm not doubting that you listened to them, rather just checking, but did you hear "03. Traverse Town"? While I agree many sound different, Traverse Town is like a downright remake with jazz portions that make one want to dance like nobody's watching down a street.

Don't know if this is allowed (please remove if not):

I want this album.

It's like a Wind Ensemble arrangement of KH pieces. I did not expect that going into it, I thought it was just the standard symphony orchestra recordings we're used to. It's nice to have some variety!

I need these arrangements! My band director is into throwing video game music into the community band performance.

The performance of Lazy Afternoons made me cry. It really takes me way back to high school, when I first played KHII. Before everything in my life changed so drastically.
