I can remember a cold day in October when I first heard "Grandma." Of course, at the time, I didn't know what it was called (because I had the Japanese version of the soundtrack), but I can say that I fell in love with the entire soundtrack before even hearing the rest of it. Haunting vocal work by Emi Evans combines with equally haunting piano work to craft a theme of extreme sadness.
Emi Evans; who was brought on board to not only lend her angelic sweet voice to most of the tracks on the album, but wrote the lyrics in a made-up and completely enchanting language that she derived from Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and other languages.
Get ready for something new and completely different from a Square-Enix soundtrack. Be prepared for something good!
Let me start by spouting off a list of adjectives that describe what the NieR soundtrack is all about: instrumental, choral, vocal, atmospheric, live, dreamy, otherworldly, beautiful, melancholy, captivating, different. Hopefully I covered it well enough because words cannot describe how outstanding this soundtrack is.
If you are a fan of captivating vocal work, it is your DUTY to pick up the Nier Gestalt & Replicant Original Soundtrack, in fact, you owe it to yourself to pick this one up regardless of whether or not you’re into vocals.
This a soundtrack that doesn't come around very often. Each theme carries with it its own heart and soul. I, for one, have been in love with this soundtrack ever since I heard the first sample in October. This soundtrack will remain in my collection for many years to come.
