Awesome Soundtrack is Awesome: Guilty Gear XX #Reload, Korean Version

Bare with the terrible formatting. I did the embedding wrong in Firefox, redid it in Chrome without thinking and the whole thing got fucked up. Tried reposting it in Firefox and even tho it appears fine in WordPad, it's fucked up on here. *puts his head in his desk*

Guilty Gear is known for it's wild characters, it's insane level of skill needed to play it, and it's consistent hard
rock soundtrack. It hasn't really changed since it's creation in Guilty Gear X. If you haven't played Guilty Gear
before or heard the soundtrack, you're missing out. All of the songs are on YouTube to listen to.

Pretty much them same, right? The soundtrack lasted all the way up to Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus,
which was the last Guilty Gear game sadly. When Guilty Gear XX #Reload was released in Korea in 2003
however, someone else did the music for it, besides Daisuke Ishiwatari is the regular crew. A band called
N.EX.T headed by Korean artist Shin Hae Chul composed the soundtrack this time, giving it a much darker
theme with more progressive elements while keeping the hard rock theme. It's fucking awesome.

Compare...

Much more interesting. You have a lot more instruments going on. It's all reminiscent of Progressive Rock/Metal
with the inclusion of some techno elements in some songs and more classical instruments in others, like Millia's
theme.

One of the coolest set of songs is Ky's and Robo-Ky's. While Ky's is full of epic background sound from
classical instruments, they remixed it for Robo-Ky to be a lot more techno and a faster sounding song.

I think they did a kick ass job with the Korean soundtrack. It's awesome hearing something so different after
not changing the soundtrack for over 11 years. I enjoy it more then the original soundtrack by far.

I like Ishiwatari's stuff in the BlazBlue ost as well.

I had no idea the Korean version was so different!

This is some cool stuff! Any idea where I could get my hands on the Korean soundtrack (outside of Korea)?
It's interesting to hear this, because there are definitely some similarities to Ishiwatari's stuff, but it branches off in its own direction.
