It’s mellow, and it gets your mind back into the Katamari universe with the insanely catchy melody that we all know and love. The opening track, “Katamari on the Rhodes” is a nice little prelude, coming in as a subdued solo piano arrangement of the classic Katamari theme. In any case, it’s quite an adventure, spanning all kinds of different genres and styles, and is sure to leave you with some new memorable moments. Almost all of the arrangements here do something drastically different, so don’t come in looking for something straightforward. More about the game’s music in our review of the Katamari Damacy Trbiute Original Soundtrack after the jump.Īs any album comprised mostly of remixes, you’re bound to find tracks that you like and others that don’t really fit in with your fond memories of the original source material. I admit I’m pretty ticked that they left out “Katamari Holiday” from the gingerbread house level from We Love Katamari, but at least they got the rest of my favorites. You’re either going to love them or hate them, but it’s definitely an interesting concept, and I found myself pretty satisfied with the album when all was said and done. What’s really interesting, however, is that this album is comprised mostly of remixes of older Katamari Damacy tunes. It’s really an impressive collection of music that lives up to the Katamari musical tradition in terms of both quality and weirdness. The Katamari Forever Original Soundtrack (or Katamari Damacy Tribute in Japan) features a wide variety of talent from Japan, including YMCK, arranger Kimitaka Matsumae, a high school marching band, and series staple Shigeru Matsuzaki (who sings the best song on the album, by the way). But I don’t want to give her all the attention.
