"Gaia's Wound -feel scarlet-" brings the heat with volcanic intensity. Each track is tagged with a color and a location, which gives the whole score this synesthetic quality. "Proceeding in the Midst of a Breath -feel malachite-" has that deep forest atmosphere baked right in.
The naming convention alone tells you the composers cared about mood as much as melody. Every color, every stage, its own feeling. If you ever wondered what drawing magic circles on a DS sounded like, this is it.
