I like it, nice and upbeat, very diverse. I couldn't imagine the implementation in a game though o.O

2/3 through I heard a section from the credits. :D

Speaking of the credits, I like how it recycled some tunes from Premonitions.

Specifically, this became "Into the Eye" and "Revelations" (:

Weighted-Companion Cube Hello, another random question =P

I just finished a run through of TSE2 and noticed that in the ending scenes the music kind of synchronized even though it was one track. I noticed that when Kaltos climbed Charlotte's rope (Party of Kaltos, Charlotte, Enshandu) A Lost Dream started playing, and when it switched to the injured Jaques bagpipes started playing. It seemed segmented, but barely noticeable. Is this pure chance or is it really segmented?

They are segmented, as a matter of fact - and I'm glad you appreciated the difference. The music is often presented as "Finale and A Lost Dream," but on the full soundtrack you will find the bonus tracks "My Worth," "We Are One People," and "A Lost Dream (Reprise)" which are these segmented tracks. Thanks!

Weighted-Companion Cube Josh, are you planning on sticking with Poolside, becoming a VGM maker, or both?

I'll be juggling both! As Fall approaches the emphasis on the classical VGM style music will increase again - in tune with what I'm doing in school. Worry not, though, I have a LOT going on in the VGM world still, and I'm talking with an exciting vocalist. I'm hesitant to drop more information on this yet, but I'm hoping everyone will be pleasantly surprised!
