Very classical oriental feel, which is a given that the track was from a soundtrack of a movie that re-told the early original classic tales of Son Goku.

I really like the oriental feeling of the track. It also gives off a sort of mystical feeling to it as well that really fits in with the beginning of Path to Power.

It has a very mafia-esque vibe. Just reminds me of something that would play while a mafia boss from the 1940s or 50s talks, does that make sense? I hope it makes sense. Seems quite fitting considering how the Red Ribbon Army boss looks like.

A tune I should probably like more than I actually do. The orchestral parts work quite well in getting you in the mood for some good action but I think the drum placements are too quiet and too close together, causing them to "muddy up" the song.

When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

The drums in the actual song are louder remember this is a rip not a cd released track

I like that piece a lot. Unless I'm mistaken that's also a plagarized piece right? That music is perfect for a standoff. Whenever I hear it I think of Goku arriving to Namek or something along those lines.

Classic. Even if BPU was ripped off from Propoganda songs, it's still a fun song to listen too. I like the keyboard and bass guitar melodies throughout the song.

Now for a song from the Budokai game that, to my knowledge, has the least amount of plagiarism due to Tower of Power's involvement...

I like this one a lot. It's an "empowering rock song", what I'd normally associate Budokai with, but it sounds pretty unique.

Nice tune there. I could see that being in one of the modern DB games. The guitar and keyboard work well together.

A classic banjo rendition of makafushigi adventure. Its a simple cute little theme.

There's been a few good tracks in Super so far, and I'd say that's one of them. The violin melody creates the feeling of tension pretty well.

I love this track it has that battle royal feel to it plus it fits goten and trunks perfectly

Next: The Will To Never Give Up! (Also a rip but to me it shows just how great sumitomo is when it comes to these types of tracks)

Fantastic, Sumitomo is incredible when it comes to emotional soundtracks such as that one, starts very sad and then grows on to become something that emanates hope. Really made the scene in my opinion.

That... hurt my ears. Dat sound quality. lol. Still, a cover of that might be pretty good boss music.

That has always been one of my favorites, even if it was plagarized. It's the kind of music that I typically associate with Budokai; hard rock that kicks, excuse the choice of words, ass, and gets you pumped to do so as well.

Definitely one of the most recognizable pieces from Kikuchi's soundtrack. I've always found it to sound a bit... upbeat(?) for serious battles though, but I like it. It's pretty exciting compared to a lot of that soundtrack to me.

I like it. It's one of the few Faulconer soundtracks that I still enjoy to this day. But I don't know if that's because I'm a fan of electronic music, or not, but it's soothing and calm, perfectly suited for Trunks actually; for once they actually got a character theme right.

Beautiful, but haunting. I like how the track sounds more upbeat towards the end of the song; it's like the song is portraying hopefulness. Awesome song to accompany Bardock when he "meets" Goku because he knows that, although their home world is gone, Freeza will be defeated in the end. Masterful song overall, and possibly one of my favorite Kikuchi songs now.

It's a mysterious and intriguing theme. Like "something's not right here." Pretty neat.
