To celebrate the twenty years since Panzer Dragoon Saga’s release, twenty tracks have been selected from the original “Azel Panzer Dragoon RPG Complete Album”. Twenty Years, Twenty Tracks Resurrection celebrates the 20th anniversary of Panzer Dragoon Saga. Different approaches lead to fundamentally different experiences which ultimately make the two albums feel like distinct works sharing common themes. “Resurrection”, on the other hand, is a live orchestra production from Saori Kobayashi and the Triforce Quartet (with Eri Ito returning for the vocals). The original score made heavy use of the Saturn’s hardware, it’s constraints producing a soundtrack that was truly unique. However, comparing “Resurrection: Panzer Dragoon Saga 20th Anniversary Arrangement Album” with the original game soundtrack is like comparing apples and oranges. Twenty years later Saori Kobayashi, Panzer Dragoon Saga’s original composer, has decided to revisit the soundtrack that made our beloved game world so memorable. That soundtrack was never far from making players feel surrounded by the echos of an ancient civilisation. Its unique mixture of Saturn chip generated sound together with tribal drum beats and reverberant vocals made Panzer Dragoon Saga’s soundtrack a significant contributor to the game’s unique, post-apocalyptic setting. In 1998, one of the most memorable game soundtracks was released with the Sega Saturn’s swan-song, Panzer Dragoon Saga.
