You’ve probably figured out by now that if “Korea” appears anywhere in my posts, it’s a good indication that it’s something I like. It’s no different with the PangYa Portable Soundtrack that was just released last December in Korea. Another pattern you’ve likely noticed is my mentioning of soundTeMP and ESTi when I talk about Korean game music… and yes, the ubiquitous ESTi strikes again here along with a team of seemingly untested composers that I’ve never heard of.
Similar to La Tale Soundtrack that was released last year, ESTi teams up with a new group of composers including nev, supbaby, and Nikacha. NieN and Electronic Boutique (of La Tale) even make an appearance as performers, and vocalist Sanch provides some of the album’s most memorable moments. Needless to say, this super laid back and poppy soundtrack is amazing, and needs to be in your collection.
