Emotional melodic melancholy. This is what I feel when I hear the final fantasy VII soundtrack. Nobuo umetsu solidifies himself as one of the most versatile and soul touching composers on this soundtrack. From haunting spooky atmospheric soul to emotional romantic pain and tragedy, he captures the feeling and scene perfectly.
There's quirky upbeat colorful harmonies and soulful errie acoustic pieces that replicate the moment so well. It goes from classic rock and dark Industrial jazz to techno. Sometimes I felt like I was in neon cities of 80s detective movies and others like I was finding myself in an experimental horror romance.
Encompassing sounds of clocks and other items that fit the theme. He isn't just a composer, he makes the game into an orchestral synth masterpiece.
