Additional Information

Description: Re-release of original score for Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht (developed by Monolith Soft and published by Namco for PlayStation 2).

Resources: No MIDIs are currently available for this album. To submit MIDIs for this album, please click here.

Note: This score is based on the music from the Xenosaga Original Soundtrack, which became out of print due to DigiCube's bankruptcy. As a result of this bankruptcy, this score was released by Sleigh Bells, Yasunori Mitsuda's own record label, together with two new tracks and five new recordings. The first disc consists of live performances, whereas the second disc is entirely synthesized.

Special thanks to the staff and contributors at Chudah's Corner, Game Music Revolution, Squaremusic, RPGFan, and SoundtrackCentral for many of the translations.
