I have a friend, an “online acquaintance” if you will, who simply adores soundtracks to Japanese graphic adventures on PC (where eroge reigns). Games like Animamundi and Tears To Tiara are the top of his list. For years, he tried to sell me on the idea of collecting these soundtracks. I had little interest, and I also had little money.
One soundtrack he’d always recommend to me was Nitroplus’s Deus Machina Demonbane. The full two disc soundtrack apparently held a lot of promise. But again, importing the soundtrack would be a costly affair.
All that changed when JapanFiles signed a deal with Nitroplus and a few other Japanese developers to have their soundtracks released digitally for a fair price. When that happened, I couldn’t argue with my friend anymore. It was time to trust his recommendations.
Was his recommendation worth it, or was I suckered into downloading a soundtrack that was in no way worth my time or money? Full answers to be found after the jump. (more…)
