This is, for most intents and purposes, the last soundtrack cd primary to the television series. (Not all of the music heard in the tv series is found on these 3 cds however.)
This cd also contains some tracks unheard in the series, they are found (I am told) in the Sega Utena game. They are rather short, but almost true to the duel song sound, if slightly comical.
This collection covers the final Sagas of the story. Unlike the previous 2 cds, this one does not list all of the duel songs and instrumental songs togther.
The duel songs for the final Sagas tend to have an overall similar sound- ambigous mixed chorus, solid beat, heavy bass line. Slower paced and serious, a few of them also have some pretty serious hooks at the end, where you can imagine a duel turned around suddenly (and if you have seen that far, you needn't imagine!).
The instrumentals are more omnious, passionate, and some are even jazzy. There is a touch of sadness in the delicate ones, a whisper of desperation in the 'moving' ones, an overall feel of things coming to a finale. Would I hear these things if I didn't know? I don't know. But I do know this cd, to me, is both very tender and very harsh.
How else would one score an Apocalypse anyhow?
