ya, CD Japan never mentioned anything about a first print... I don't think one was ever mentioned or announced..

When I stop before the last three tracks, it's an enjoyable album. It's just a shame because it could have been a lot more.

My only point is, it just sounds kind of weak, I don't think the recording quality was quite there.

I don't know. The iTunes version sounds pretty great...

Talking about the Xenogears original soundtrack...
About the chants in Xenogears, does anyone know what the chants were on specific pieces?
I can imagine that the chants on "City of Burning Sands" (D1, T11) and "Aveh ~ Ancient Dance" (D1, T17) were Arabic - guessing by their desert context -
and that the chorus in "Wounded, Advancing into the Light" (D1, T22) is supposed to be Catholic-styled,
but how's about the chants in
"Awakening" (D2, T16)
"One Who Bares Fangs at God" (D2, T17)
"Alpha and Omega" (D2, T18)
are those Arabic, Celtic, or another ethnicity?

*Sigh* if this were a doujin, it would sound like THIS instead...

They're called as Bulgarian voice.

If that's the case, it takes no longer to see a regular version, because this album is out of stock in many shops. I guess it's a matter of different packaging though.
By Qui-Gon Joe (Feb 26, 2011) (#85)
I think the only difference is the black outer case.

I was wondering, which version did OSV feature in their unpacking video then? The regular or this mysterious limited one?

Looks like the limited one is what they opened. The black sleeve is what makes it the limited version. A friend DID manage to pick up a copy for me and says that it does indicate a first print on the obi.

ah so it's just that the first pressing editions will have a slipcover then? I guess I'll find out when my CD Japan order ships with ltd ed Dissidia Duodecim soundtrack this upcoming week... eeee! can't wait for that one. 
By James O (Mar 04, 2011) (#89)
Ah yes, it is just a slipcover on a great book style type packaging.
I have also impulsively put a pre-order on the vinyl album... =p this is why i can't travel to Japan... hahah

Review posted.
I liked it. Could have been more but if you'd like a pretty orchestral album this fits the bill. Never became a huge fan of the OST but Creid was decent enough and I expect this one to stick even better.
