The former, in particular, is definitely one of my favorite tracks with its twangy Middle Eastern instruments and subdued marimba beat. Tracks like "Village of the Seekers", "The Forest's Scream", and "The Chaos Within the Silence", however, helps the album go above and beyond what other fantasy games tend to accomplish. Of course, most fantasy music is technically exotic, but as gamers, we find that style familiar if we play enough RPGs. When listening to certain tracks, I find there's almost an exotic and immersive aspect to this soundtrack. And it's not cheap bargain bin "new age" either. Because of that, this is one of the few tracks with a flowing melody as opposed to a more ambient and subdued melody. The composers even added a majestic choir line to the theme that works very well. Though much of the album is mostly composed of synthetic music, there are a few exceptions like this track. In fact, the opening track "Ecce Valde Generous Ale" (aka "Behold the Precious Wings") shows off the percussive and ambient nature of the soundtrack right away. Panzer Dragoon relies on fantastical ambience and percussion, rather than catchy melodies, to be good.
The Panzer Dragoon RPG Azel Complete Soundtrack is the first print of the soundtrack and follows an incomplete mini soundtrack release.
You therefore might end up being surprised at how unconventional this soundtrack is for its time. Whether you expect great or bad music, I'm sure you aren't going to be expecting the most unique music in the world considering the dragon influence that so many games seem to have. I haven't played this game but I know I don't have to understand the music when listening to this sort of fantasy RPG soundtrack. The Panzer Dragoon Saga soundtrack, composed by Saori Kobayashi and Mariko Nanba, is not exactly the dragon-themed RPG soundtrack I expected.
