RECORD OF LODOSS WAR (LODOSS-TOU SENKI)


Arrange Sound from Record of Lodoss War
(1989)
10 tracks, 44:59
{Not an original Victor release; an SM release, but
booklet-wise, it's done somewhat better than other
copies.

This is apparently a drama image-type of album. The
first track is a battle scene complete with dialogue
and sound effects. The rest of the tracks are good,
solid instrumentals - slightly more `hi-tech' than the
OST. Instruments are a mix of brass and string,
including a fretless bass, as well as synthesizers. The
booklet is also quite nice - containing pencil sketches
of the characters and various scenes. The booklet also
contains a paragraph or two describing each track on
the CD, and character sketches of the heroes.}

Victor VICL-114 (1991.2.21), Y3000
17 tracks: 3 tracks, 41:45
{Continues the excellent tradition of Lodoss style music
set in the first CD. The instrumentals are generally
better but the first album has the more memorable tunes.
Track 14, a lute concerto, is especially pleasant. The
vocals are not as good in comparison. However, Odyssey
is a very spirited song.}
