The one thing I really remember from my early days on B8 is debating on the merits of saxophone in VGM. I love saxophone! Very upbeat song here, nice usage of the "four chords of pop" 40 seconds in. Simultaneously empowering and relaxing tune.

What I really love about Atelier soundtracks is that they can take something akin to Celtic folk music but also pump it up with all the energy of a hype boss battle theme. I'd likely have never even learned of Gust as a company and all the music they do if not for B8. One weird thing I've noticed about this specific song (maybe it's just me), but it sounds a lot like the music you'd hear from one of the SoulCalibur games lol.
