The Aquarian Age soundtrack is not one I am terribly fond of, and I have the same feelings for the Noir and .hack//SIGN soundtracks. Why is this? I feel Yuki Kajiura's music has progressed greatly over the years she has been composing. Her choruses are richer, her instruments have more emotional impact, and the overall picture is much more coherent than on these older soundtracks.

That being said, this is an enjoyable song, considering when it was composed. In fact, it's not just enjoyable, it's good. The song starts out slow, with a vocalist (Kaori Nishina, perhaps? I can't find credits for it, but she sang the other songs, like the well known Zodiacal Sign.) singing subtlely in and out between the instruments.

Personal rating: 7 out of 10
