Fascinating, thanks!

Brief but impressive.
Thanks Sirusjr.

Stunning stuff. Shame that it's only 17 minutes. Wanna more.

There’s more music in this 18 minute suite than in most of today's Hollywood ‘in crowd’ blockbusters put together!

Thanks again for a great upload :)

A fantastic polyphonic theme, which shows yet again that Hirano has a wholly convincing command of classical music syntax and development – and yet on top he effortlessly blends and shifts gears into modernism, suspense, and keeps it all so dramatic.

If it’s now rather obvious to say that Hirano is knows his stuff, it’s also worth saying that he has BALLS. There’s real conviction and flamboyance here, lacking today in both the cinema and the concert hall. It’s a simple thing, I know, but listen about 30 seconds into the first track the way he pushes up a diminished 7th in a series of sweeping gestures – this is how to create tension and excitement with shape and harmony. It's also not in the least throwaway, and has echoes throughout. Absolutely wonderful.

The guitar arpeggios in 'Hard Tactics' put me in mind of Howard Shores Crash (one of my favourites by Shore). The only slight negative overall is that the recording is rather unflattering to the choir. But who cares, right? ;)

‘Towards Resolution’ is such a cliffhanger! More please! :D

Well for those asking for more (everyone?) I think this release suggests that with the release of each episode there will be a mini OST which is not bad. I will watch for each one in turn and hope that the original source of this puts up each.

There does indeed appear to be a CD coming with every new release. (At least, there is definitely one confirmed for the second Break Blade which is due out at the end of August.

Also, there appears to be missing music on OST 1... I think there will be a proper release of this, probably in a two-disc set, when the final movie has been released... *puts crystal ball away*

I'd inferred from your fulsome description elsewhere that there might be some missing. Still a very satisfying listen. And the dribs and drabs approach suits my ropey internet just fine :)

the links on error? help please can you upload it in mediafire?

Jdownloader says the links are both still alive. Please try another browser or Jdownloader.

here is what i did: I click on your link and then it provided me a rapidshare link then i downloaded the file with the use of orbit downloader, after that the file that i downloaded had no archive on it and it only took me about a second to download(the file size wasnt on mb but on kb size) T.T please help me. thanks.

wow thanks 4 the music

Thanks for these, Sirusjr! listening to your collection of Chapters 1-6 right now, and really loving it! does anyone know which choir/orchestra perform these. I'm definitely assuming it's a real orchestra, but can't find any credits for who performs, etc. Any ideas?

Of COURSE it's a real orchestra.

It's a common Japanese freelance orchestra; ie, they hire fifty players, they sit down, play the score, and go home. Soundtrack albums are usually quite detailed as regards who play - they will usually credit every musician individually with the exception of the string players, who are credited under their umbrella name. You'll hear names like Konno Strings, Kato Group, Masatsugu Shinozaki Strings, etc - these are collective string orchestras to which producers will add X brass, woodwind, percussion, etc, etc as required to make up the ensemble they require. :)

haha, OF COURSE, I can tell, and I can LOVE IT!! thanks for the info tango. Interesting about the orchestras.
