In contrast to the concise score for ESPGaluda, most themes exceed six minutes due to their arguably detrimental loops. Mitsuhiro Kaneda's guest contribution "Aerial - Sadness Bathes in Dust" adds diversity to the soundtrack with its jazz influences, unconventional layering, and ecstatic melody. ![]() Another varied piece is "Hatred - I've Waited a Long Time for This Moment", which is special for its elegant integration of fragments from each of ESPGaluda's remaining four stage themes. With "Deserted - Younger Brother and Elder Sister and.", he contrasts heavy sections exhibiting psychadelic trance and hardcore influences with euphoric interludes featuring a gorgeously shaped piano melody.

In doing so, Namiki was able to explore a novel style and assert his individuality within its trademark features. Nevertheless, there was a decision early in the score's production to maintain the style of the original. For the sequel, there was a change in composer with Manabu Namiki ( DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou, Ketsui, Mushihimesama) taking the helm. ![]() The influential score to ESPGaluda extensively used trance music to stimulate gamers. ![]()
