One of the artist’s weaker contributions is “The Strongest Iron Arena -Silver Mix-,” an arrangement of the music featured in Tekken 4, though I still think it’s an improvement over the original it sounds much cleaner and fuses the original’s rock focus with electronic elements to yield a thicker musical texture. Surprisingly, the dubstep beats and distortion really work well with the romantic strings work that is introduced in the B section, giving the piece an edgy, yet delicate, atmosphere. It’s very intriguing fusion of the increasingly popular dubstep style and classically inspired orchestra. One of the most striking contributions by Tohyama is “Tekstep Fountain,” used when fighting with the Fontana di Trevi as a backdrop. There’s also a long edit of this theme on the second disc that is heavier in sound and features more elaborations that would work wonders in a club. It’s energetic and really gets you ready to fight! The character select theme, “Aim to Win,” is equally beat-heavy and there is some distorted vocoder thrown into the mix, which foreshadows some of the common bonds for many of the tracks on the soundtrack. It combines a wonderful piano and synth melody with a fantastic trance backing. “Tekken Tag Tournament Piano Intro -Massive Mix-” is a remix of the intro from Tekken Tag Tournament soundtrack.
Lead composer Akitaka Tohyama offers a plethora of styles on this release.
Compared to the last major Tekken title, Tekken 6, the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 soundtrack definitely boasts a more contemporary sound - combining a variety of styles, including styles that have recently become much more popular in the world of electronic dance music. In addition, Taku Inoue and Go Shiina also offer contributions. Most of the composers for the first game return to reprise their roles, with the exception of Yu Miyake, with Akira Tohyama serving a the sound director and lead composer. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the latest in the famous fighting series created by Namco Bandai, and is the long-awaited follow-up to the original tag battle game.
