It’s about time we got around to this one. Ragnarok Online spawned my unhealthy obsession with soundTeMP, as it was one of their first titles to make it big on an international level. I’ll admit though, I am kind of cheating, as this isn’t the game’s original soundtrack, but rather half arrange album and half enhanced original soundtrack.
If you’ve read any of the twenty or so articles that I’ve mentioned soundTeMP in, you know that they write pop and trance music, and they do it well. Even more, The Memory of Ragnarok includes track-by-track credits, which revealed Seock-Jin Lee to be the primary composer responsible for Ragnarok Online. The booklet is even translated in English for crying out loud! Needless to say, this is one of the gems of my collection, and it’s not even out of print!
Hit the jump for our review of one of the greatest albums in history. Period. (more…)
