Moment - Ar Tonelico Hymnos Concert

For avid music lover like me , this compilation is treasure beyond word. The song are beautiful and deep. The music rhythm is astounding. These song are composed by Akira Tsuchiya, Ken Nakagawa and Daisuke Achiwa. I consider myself lucky able to find this album :)

List of Song from AR Tonelico : Melody of Elemia

* 謳う丘 - Harmonics EOLIA - / Expressive Hill - Harmonics EOLIA - by Akiko Shikata(my personal favourite :))
* つがう命の声 / Voice of Joined Lives by Akiko Shikata
* そよ風の思い出 / Memory of the Gentle Breeze by Yuuko Ishibashi
* York of Love by Yuuko Ishibashi

The Hymns

* EXEC_PURGER/.- AURICA extracting by Haruka Shimotsuki
* EXEC_PURGER/. - MISHA extracting by Akiko Shikata
* EXEC_LINKER/. by Haruka Shimotsuki
* EXEC_CHRONICLE_KEY/. by Akiko Shikata
* EXEC_SUSPEND/. by Noriko Mitose
* EXEC_RE=NATION/. by Haruka Shimotsuki
* EXEC_HARMONIUS/. by Akiko Shikata (Very nice heroic song)
* EXEC_RIG=VEDA/. by Noriko Mitose
* EXEC_PHANTASMAGORIA/. by Noriko Mitose, Haruka Shimotsuki and Akiko Shikata (This is the one must hear once in a lifetime)

Trust me on this, this compilation is a treasure worthy of rare musica collector. Unless you are not very fond of Japanese song, that is another story. The game is good but that what I want to emphasize here though. The musica blend is perfect with the background ambient and music amplifying their effect. And further more, most song usually composed of 2 or more singer singing them.

I can't wait for the second Hymnos concert from AR Tonelico 2. Already previewed EXEC_with.METHOD_METAFALICA (this song simply astounding), this could be another treasure for me to collect ;) 5 star from me :)

My deep respect and acknowledgment for the composers for this rare music.

Maybe you would like even more these songs if you knew what are the feelings that the creator of Ar tonelico (Akira Tsuchiya), and all of the Four Singers put in them. My personal favorites are Harmonious (it's not an heroic song, but a song for conveying feelings, and settle down a heart full of hatred, confusion and anger), and Phantasmagoria (knowing how touching the song is, and all the story that Tsuchiya told in his comments of all the work he did composing this, and how a lot of people from Gust and Banpresto agreed to take part in it magnificient chorus).

BTW, the correct translation for 謳う丘 - Harmonics EOLIA is "Singing Hill ~ Harmonics EOLIA, since that is how 謳う is translated in the game.

If you want to know more, just go in my blog, and put a comment there, please. Then, I'll be happy to show to you everything I know about Ar tonelico.
