The base tracks here feel like actual songs first and game music second, which gives the whole album a different character. "Celluloid" is the standout, a track with real cinematic weight that earns its placement across both the boss and final boss arrangements.
The BOSS version adds intensity without losing the melodic core, while the FINAL BOSS cut goes full climactic. "Yiwu" carries a distinct Eastern-flavored atmosphere across its STAGE2 and STAGE3 variants, each arrangement reshaping the same musical ideas to match escalating difficulty.
"Too Many Dreams in One Kid" is a surprisingly earnest title for this series, and the track lives up to it with a dreamy, wistful quality that persists even through its STAGE4 and STAGE5 action versions. "Fugue (DIALOG)" rounds things out as the conversation theme -- quiet, introspective, doing the subtle work of making you care between stages.
Only thirteen tracks, but the remix structure means you're hearing four strong compositions explored from every angle.
