Antarctica's "Almost Frozen" is another of those classic themes that exhibits both an anthemic melody and an amazing pulse the arrangement is of the standard one might expect from a professional electronic musician even if the icy and windy features are blatantly game-inspired. Although a fusion of hardcore electronica, oriental voices, and operatic voices sounds peculiar in theory, the elements together make "Rhythm of China" far more colourful and balanced than the original. The location-based themes taken from the original Tekken also make welcome reappearances here. It's minimalistic, surreal, and, above all, beautiful. A special mention should be given to "Be In the Mirror", an electro-acoustic composition used during the contrasting encounters with Angel and Devil. There are plenty of other noteworthy character themes too whether Nina Williams' cool-headed electro-jazz beats, Paul Phoenix's funky upbeat depiction, or King's torturous beat-fest, they're all classics that work wonderfully in context. In stark contrast, "Morning Field" proves to be one of the most beautiful arrangements in and out of context in order to demonstrate how Jun Kazama is at peace with nature, the sound team decided to slow down the original and add some new age vibes. Baek Doo San's "Eastern Dance" won't be accessible to most fans, but this time is musically fascinating at least the wild tribal rhythms of the original are blended with the even crazier electronic distortions of Hosoe and co. There are quite a few character themes on the soundtrack that are transformative nonetheless. "More Vigorously", the theme of the kangaroo Roger and dinosaur Alex, might feature a few synth upgrades and a dramatic interlude however, it's the original's samba beats that ensure it's still a novel delight in context. This time, though, the clangy piano work is replaced by smooth synth pads and the melody sounds more punchy than ever. Michelle Chang's "Nobody Catch Me" still captures her youthful character with infectious jazzy chord sequences and spunky melodies. Yoshimitsu's "The Head Shaker", for instance, required only some synth upgrades to meet the high quality production values of the soundtrack the original was such a beautiful and fitting blend of Japanese instruments and electronic beats that more significant changes could have been dubious. Many are quite orthodox arrangements, but that doesn't make them any less effective. The majority of the character themes on Tekken 2's PlayStation soundtrack are arrangements from the Tekken and Tekken 2 Arcade soundtracks. How do the arrangements and compositions turn out? Body However, a new opening theme and multiple character ending themes were composed specifically for the title by Akira Nishizaki, Takashi Furukawa, and Hideaki Mitsui. The majority of the soundtracks feature arrangements of Yoshie Arakawa and Yoshie Takayanagi's location themes from Tekken and character themes from Tekken 2 handled by seven Namco employees (namely Yoshie Arakawa, Nobuyoshi Sano, Hiroto Sasaki, Ayako Saso, Takayuki Aihara, Shinji Hosoe, and Keiichi Okabe). The Tekken 2 Strike Fighting soundtracks are two continuous albums that feature all the music from the port. It offered multiple modes of gameplay, new character ending movies, numerous other upgrades, and a totally revamped score. The PlayStation version of Tekken 2 is regarded as vastly superior to the Arcade version for several reasons. Tekken 2 Strike Fighting :: Review by Chris Album Title
