Thoughts: It's hard for me to remember the specifics of what this album sounds like without it playing. That said I remember exactly the sense of dread that it spreads throughout my body every time it's on.
This isn't as much music as it is an experience. The tones and ambience that are spread throughout this record are filled with the whispers of the dead and their calls to join them in the afterlife. It is incredibly unsettling, and having played the game it brings back the haunting memories of one girl trying to save her sister from ritual suicide.
There are so many games out there that try to have an unsettling atmosphere. Most that try fail, and fail hard. The ones that succeed though are the ones that stick with me for the rest of my life. I haven't played Fatal Frame II since it came out, yet I still remember it vividly. This soundtrack helps bring back those repressed memories one second at a time.
