Just getting this out there, the poster Mirrormn made a music index and table of contents for the game a while ago. The guy put alot of hours into putting that thing together. You can find it here.

That's pretty cool. Big ups to Mirrormn!

My headset was on high the first time I played.
Spin gave me a headache because it is LOUD.
My favorites are Parity/Ah Eh I Oh You. Dem jazzy tunes man. Groovy
Thought Ah Eh I Oh You was originally supposed to be related to something along the lines of a porn theme. Meh.

And Parity is nice. I like the original a bit better, but the current theme fits itself into KS much more easily.

When and where does Spin appear? I don't recall ever hearing it (and the laptop with KS installed is moot, can't check it out for myself).

It plays over the 4Leaf logo when you first start up the game.

Oh.

Well, I kinda liked it. Better than most start-up jingles I hear these days.

...The logo that's there for all of three seconds and can be skipped?

Was that REALLY worth complaining about? :lol:

Mine top five would be:

Wiosna - just so calm and feelsy. It really ties the game together.
Innocence - for some reason it sounds really nostalgic for me, and I love that feeling.
Teatime - it has that bittersweet tone (interesting chords), also I love the slow pace.
Breathlessly - good instrumentation. And the tune saddens the deepest parts of my soul.
Lullaby of Open Eyes - the best IMO. Very cute and lovely. And those sad parts are god tier. It's like lying in bed with the person you love and looking at his/her face, in light of the moon, while knowing your feelings will never be reciprocated.

Honourable mentions: Concord, Raindrops and Puddles, Innocence, Romance in Andante.

I sort of hated Parity though. It didn't fit Rin's personality at all. And it sounded too goofy and upbeat for my taste. And I'm a Rinbro

Lately, I haven't been able to get Innocence out of my head, and it's kind of bad since every single time I hear that song, I tear up. It's such a beautiful song, but it's torture! My eyes are going to shrivel up and fall out if I continue to keep crying every time I hear this song :P

As mentioned before elsewhere, I must be one of the few who played with the music softened. It's a testament to the game that even without the music (or it playing softly), the story threads rock.

I guess I should accept that there is no escape from the KS feels...

And yes, even without the music, the written story is still amazing, but the music really brings everything to life. I could not play KS without the music. (I could if it were a book, but that's not the case.)

Ah yes, I love that piece. It's a very nice remix of Student Council. Every time I watch the cinematic, I can't help but feel bad for Misha. Poor thing.

Go ahead. I've spammed "I'll Drink to That" more times than I can count. On the road, it's either that or radio surfing.
