One listen, and this one was a struggle. I hit a wall within a few words and had to veer away a bit. Still cover the song well enough, but not in the way I’d hoped.

Hitoshi Sakimoto’s (崎元 仁) “BioCorp” (“バイオ公社”) is from Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter‘s soundtrack, Breath Of Fire V – Dragon Quarter: Original Soundtrack. The soundtrack was also released as part of Breath of Fire Original Soundtrack Special Box a soundtrack collection of the soundtracks for Breath of Fire I through to V.

I hope you enjoy.

A flowing beat meets strings and bass. They play with angles of smoothness, and a crackling comes in when they descend. Soon that is swept away in the halls and forms of technology flow forward. Flows of progression.

There’s something eerie and cold in all of this. Something uncaring stretches through, and discomfort follows nearby. It’s another place to get through, to move past, and to learn from.

As smooth as the sounds are, a harshness follows closely, and everything feels more and more off. Everything feels more and more unpleasant, as though it is all too clean. The crackling of progress feels a facade driven by lack of consideration, and the structure remains something internally imposing, and stays as such as the sounds fade and the song ends.
