Tsubasa Chronicle - Original Soundtrack - Future Soundscape III [Regular Edition]

All I can say is "WOW." I've been a fan of Yuki Kajiura for quite some time now, and she doesn't disappoint with this album. Sadly, it only has the tv-sized intro/outro themes for season two, but the rest of the soundtrack is awesome. Makes me want to buy the fourth album so much!

This time around, there are softer approaches to familiar refrains and the music more contemplative as in the track 'Femme' and 'Stay'. The track 'Masquerade' is very reminiscent of classical music yet infused with a gypsy-like beat and strings. As with the mystical elements in the show, the choral works are breathtaking as they soar through the music. Kinya's new track 'IT'S', is a rocking pop song that captures the show's excitement while, Maaya Sakamoto's wind instrument influenced 'Kazemachi Jet' is an absoulet delight. It is somewhat disapppointing that only the TV edits of both songs are present but it is better than nothing. And FictionJunction returns featuring KAORI as the singer of 'Dream Scape'. Although it is surprising that Tsubasa Chronicle has four OST albums despite the show being barely 50 episodes long to date, there appears to be sufficient reason to want to collect each album. It is fair to say that no doubt, each one of them will have its own merits. Or for the die-hard collector, every album will find a space on their shelf.

Not very recommended if you have own previous 2 OST. The overall music are very repeatative, include the Future Scoundscape IV that I had bought too, because you will found alots melody are similar in all 4 OST. Unless you want to collect all the OST as a Tsubasa fan, else it is better to save the money.
