Tekken Tag Tournament Direct Audio

The Tekken games have always had an interesting mix of techno tracks and very groove-oriented tunes. Direct Audio is no exception to this. As one would expect all of the tracks from the PS2 fighter are present and accounted for, so the intro song, menu select music, and all of the characters’ themes are included. A nice addition to the soundtrack is four remixes at the end of the disc, with some different takes on some of the songs.

This CD is great for many different situations, whether listening to music while working on the computer, driving around (day or night), or just sitting down and giving it your undivided attention. It’s a very solid line-up of music, with standout tracks like the themes for Hwoarang, Eddy, Ogre, and Xiaoyu, not to mention the Staff Roll, and theme remixes for Lei and Xiaoyu. The only downside to the soundtrack is that there are a number of extremely short tracks ranging from five to thirty seconds that hurt the overall flow of the CD, making for a choppier listening experience. However, these can be programmed out on most CD players’ playlists for those wanting a smoother aural ride.

If you’re looking for a nice mix of 70s funk, interesting rhythmic tracks, and some straight ahead techno, Tekken Tag Tournament Direct Audio is definitely a disc to consider.
