I know the Dreamcast game Skies of Arcadia and its soundtrack by Yutaka Minobe and Tatsuyuki Maeda have their share of fans. The soundtrack will be getting new CD and vinyl editions by Wayo Records, slated for release this summer. The CD edition includes 67 OST tracks on two discs, the vinyl edition 30 OST tracks on two discs. Both editions include a third disc with two new piano arrangements totaling 22 minutes in length.

Details and pre-order links (as well as a limited edition music box for really hardcore collectors) are at the Wayo's album site:

I'm pretty excited about this. I had the original Eternal Arcadia OST but... I must have sold it and I don't know why. The packaging and art looks really good on this re-release.

I';m more excited about the possibility of more old discs getting a reprint. Not much a fan of SoA music outside of a few standout tracks.

Did anyone ever pick this up?  I have the original Enterbrain release of the OST and love it, but I'm wondering if the piano disc is worth getting the new set.  I found some short samples on Youtube but I'm wondering what any of you still hanging out around here might think!

Qui-Gon Joe, if your not against sampling an album on YouTube before buying, the whole soundtrack is  now there, including the piano arrangements. I haven't listened to it in a few months, but I do remember liking the arrangements.

I thought I replied but maybe I didn't... or maybe I accidentally replied via the report button because I seem to do that all the time...

I picked it up. I honestly don't think the release is worth buying if you have the original Enterbrain release unless you exclusively want the 2 bonus piano tracks or want to support Wayo. I used to own the Enterbrain release years ago but I sold it because I wasn't really a big fan of the music. I purchased the Wayo release because I really like supporting them and they always do a really great job with inserts and packaging.

Thanks to both of you for the replies!  I hadn't checked in a while and didn't realize it was up on Youtube for sampling.  Probably gonna skip it, as much of a fan of Skies as I am.
