An amazing soundtrack for a fantastic video game.
24 Feb 2003
Format:Audio CD
True, DigiCube no longer manufactures this OST, and the best you'll find is some pirated version from Son May or Ever Anime, but either way, get your hands on this soundtrack. It's a brilliant piece of music elegantly composed by Ms. Shimomura, who is now known for her works on Kingdom Hearts.
The first track, Primal Eyes, is crafted to fit the game to a Tee, but leave it alone and you have a beautiful techno song. The soundtrack progresses to invent new compositions that hadn't been offered around 1998, and still can't be offered as enthusiastically as Yoko Shimomura herself has. As I've said; pick it up. You won't be disappointed!

Music made for greatness
14 Jan 2001
Format:Audio CD
Parasite Eves story and gameplay are one of the best that this gamer has ever seen. With an intelligent mix of science fiction and fact, the creators of the game wanted the player to become immersed in a world of survival horror. Gameplay is not the only thing that makes a game. The soundtrack which was composed by Yoko Shimoura ( please forgive if the name was incorrectly spelled) is a true compliment to this masterpiece of a game. The songs are a well mannered mix of tech and opera which relax and awaken the listeners senses with strong beats accompanied by gentle singing and eerie pulses. It is hard really to describe just how well done the compelation that is the Parasite Eve soundtrack really is. It is simply a work of art that must be experienced first hand with an open mind and enough free time to truely appreciate it. I reccomend that every fan of good music add this collection in to their library as soon as possible. the price is nothing to be worried about, you wont be disappointed.

A mysterious sound
30 July 2001
Format:Audio CD
Parasite Eve is an odd cross-over Playstation game that found as many admirers as critics. But most people agreed that the music was something special. If you can get hold of a copy of this CD, you will be glad you did. From the frantic, choppy techno-rock of the opening, to the delicate piano and orchestral themes of the quiet moments, this is an album of unique sounds, the like of which I have never heard on any other album. Among the best are the final boss encounter, listed here as "U.B.", a sinister and ethereal beginning that rises to a pounding finish. Also recommended is "Matrix", the music from the Chinatown section in the game, and the beautiful orchestral version of the main theme at the end. One let down is the use of a synthesised soprano voice singing in the scenes set at the opera, giving a distorted and almost comical warbling sound that lessens the tone considerably! But at the end of CD2, there are two bonus tracks which feature a real soprano singer performing the pieces, although this was never used in the game-why?! That aside, this is an excellent album of music, and quite suitable to play at any time. It will be sure to provoke enquiries from any listener! What a pity it has become so scarce - pick one up as soon as you can, it is worth the high price you may have to pay.
