Crisp and powerful, I love it! Also from KOF '98 OST, "Rumbling on the City" and "Fairy" get similar style arrangements. Not quite as thrashing as KOF '98 OST's, but with live instruments, this incarnation sounds just as good (and it doesn't muffle when I crank up the volume!). Being a fan of Falcom power-rock arrangements, I nearly wet myself when I found out I was going to get my all-time favorite theme, "ESAKA?" arranged! Well, I was not disappointed in the least. Half are intense power-rock arrangements, while the other half are jazzy and relaxing. The styles of the tracks are pretty much divided up evenly. ![]() As such, you can think of this as an arranged album for both KOF '96 and '98. Many people argue that this was the best set of music from the entire KOF series (also, the reason KOF '98's arranged album was so lacking was that it didn't contain any of these themes, only a couple of uninteresting new themes). Many of the tracks are used in both KOF '96 AND '98! This is not a bad thing, though. The last quick note about this CD is the track selection. The second thing you should note about this CD is the sound quality. ![]() This sucker is long! Most of the songs run to a full 4 or 5 minutes and you never feel shortchanged after listening to them. The first thing you will note about this CD is the length. Would KOF '96 Arranged, the last one for my collection, turn my overall opinion on these albums? Well, let's just say it more than surpassed my expectations. Finally, the two most recent ones (') were great, but suffered from low sound quality. On the other hand, '98's arranged album was a waste of a CD and 95's was a bit lacking as well. ![]() KOF '94 Arranged was a masterpiece, as was '97. Whenever I get my hands on a new King of Fighters arranged album, I never know what to expect.
