Thank you so much, now to listen to this while waiting for the next episode!

Thanks for your contribution

Thanks for the share! This is one awesome soundtrack!

Thank you for sharing this! I believe the one who compose this is the same man who compose Sengoku Basara (anime), really worth to hear.

Thanks very much for this! you make me can't wait to watch the next episodes of Gundam UC >3<

Well, I took it as a "random download" (you know, things U know nothing about, but because U are bored or something, you d-load it... but I think in this case I took it because of "unicorn" in name;D), and I'm glad I did it. It's really good orchestral piece of music. Very nice score. Thanks!

cheers :p

Thanx man...

I really was expecting. ;)

Thank you dude

hi, can you upload this to mediafire? can't download on megaupload. thanx

Thanks a lot!! >:D

Thanks man!! You are a prophet for delivering this soundtrack to us Gundam fans! *salutes*

YES! I've been waiting for this one ever since seeing the first episode. What a great time to be a Universal Century fan.

And not to sound ungrateful, but is there any chance of getting this in FLAC?

Thanks for sharing!

Wow. This was a surprise. Very nice sound. Thank you.

I have to disagree with you about this. I found it to be pretty generic and mostly put me to sleep. There was way too much percussion at times almost sounding like Bear McCreary but then other tracks had so much synth that it was painful. I also didn't notice any melodies that really grabbed me.

I really found Gundam Unicorn to be good score. It has nice melodies (but I agree, not too memorable), it has some great purely orchestral moments (ON YOUR MARK, beautiful track), awesome beginning (U.C.0096 and UNICORN...), some nice action (Bourne-like MOBILE SUIT, LAPLACE - which actually reminds me of 160 BPM from Angels and Deamons), and few quite cool jazzy moments (trumpets!!!). I know it's nothing groundbreaking, but I really like it.

Although I agree, for people who hates drums, beats, and electronica it can be hard to enjoy - but I like good beat (and the one in first track is just AWESOME!), and electronica (drums could actually go away, but they do not distract, so I can live with that), so it's much easier for me to like it I guess.

See I don't mind beats and drums if they are used properly but I thought here they were so loud in the mix that they overpowered the orchestra that was present.

I disagree. The beats are loud, yes, but I don't feel that they overwhelm the orchestra. And the beats are present with great effect in the episode itself. Adds a very nice dramatic touch.

I'm with Sirusjr on this one.

There's certainly a case for a beat in some circumstances... but this isn't one of them.

In scores like this, I wonder what purpose they serve: the modern symphony orchestra is the most massively expressive, versatile, powerful instrument ever devised. Laying a cliched drum loop over everything... what for?

Hiding underneath all this noise is an average but functional symphonic score. As Sirusjr observes, nothing special and nothing particularly noteworthy... but all this racket just gets in the way, IMHO as ever.

It's a step in the right direction from the horrors of Gundam 00, but it won't be spoken of in the same breath as Kanno's shockingly brilliant music for Turn A, Senju's subdued, gorgeous pastoral music for Victory, or Sahashi's everything-but-the-kitchen-sink efforts for Seed and Seed Destiny. (Incidentally... there's an example of how to do it right; there's a beat in some cues, and there are synthesisers in other cues; but the majority of the music adheres to the tried and trusted techniques of the past; good melodies, and exciting orchestrations - even considering the pathetically small ensemble he had to work with.)

This, in direct contast with Sahashi's cheap but very cheerful scores, feels like a great deal of production values and basically sod nothing going on underneath.

It's a great shame; there was obviously a LOT of money floating around for Unicorn's score... If only they'd used it to its fullest potential.

STILL... Gundam's been going for 30 years. Music wise, it's had some right clunkers and it's had some masterpieces. I have no doubt that something wonderful is just around the corner.

Please, GOD, for the next Gundam score, let's have the Warsaw Philharmonic and Masamichi Amano, or Yoshihisa Hirano. That'd be wonderful.

Yay Giant Robo!

thanx econnet & HDREADY.

I wish Kohei Tanaka would score another Gundam show.

So, a bit of off-topic...

As for bad or completely out of place use of beat and percussion, check this one (first 2 minutes)...

WTF? What the composer was thinking?;)

thanks

I got one better....Bear McCray doing a Gundam Soundtrack?

Haha it already basically sounds like a Bear McCreary soundtrack with the overdone percussion. I consider him to be a highly overrated composer and haven't found any of his work to be all that exciting. He certainly wouldn't be in the realm of Amano or Hirano.

Even further off topic... I think Bear McCreary has a LOT of promise... possibly the most promise of any of the current young American composers starting out. He's got a sense of melody - good, old fashioned melody too. For a most recent example, try the main theme from Dark Void; mentally block out the percussion... and you've got a rather beautiful theme, with imaginative late romantic harmonies, intelligent orchestrations, and a strangely Herrmannesque vibe holding it all together; and that's all before the gorgeous Ondes Martinot solo comes in.

Some of his music from Caprica and Battlestar Galactica, also, is just gorgeous.

He has much to give, I feel. I just don't understand why he feels the need to bathe everything in incessant, loud tribal percussion. Still, it's his choice - and I do find his percussion use a damn sight more interesting than MV's...

That's not to say that he's anywhere near the level of his Eastern counterparts like Amano, Hirano, Kanno, etc... But there's more to McCreary than banging, slamming noises. :)

Bear McCreary is a diamond in the rough.

Thanx a LOT for sharing this to us Gundam fans.. Appreciate it so much.
God Bless U..
