Sword of the New World
Tonight's release is one very near and dear to many of our hearts:
Granado Espada Original Sound Track Volume 1
This is the music to the Korean MMORPG, "Granado Espada", which has just recently been released in North America as, "Sword of the New World: Granado Espada". Music is by SoundTeMP, Kim Junsung, S.F.A and Kubota Osamu. This was a promotional album from the Japanese publisher of the game and is quite rare (and expensive!). Awesome, awesome, awesome four disc set. Do yourself a favor and nab it.

A lot of great tracks, and a lot of bad ones - almost everything by SoundTeMP is pure crap, I hate this kind of music. But when I delete soundTeMP tracks, than everything shuold be fine:).

This soundtrack is sooooo good.
comment #12
Where can you order this CD?
It is not on cdjapan?
Please tell me I want to order this....
This is Volume 1 is there gonna be a Volume 2?
Great OST....finally someone has the guts to make trance and dance style music to an MMORPG!!!
It sounds good..
Also the classical style musics are great.....
comment #13
Worp3 you can't order this cd, it was a gift for a 5 or 6 months subscription in the japanese servers. You might be able to find a copy on Yahoo Japan Auctions, though you'll have to pay the price (10000 to 30000 Yens currently).
I hope they'll release Vol.2 but I don't think they have enough extra tracks at the moment (they come with new episodes and majo updates of the game)
comment #15
Ragnarok has a OST why not this game?
Maybe they will bring out a CD soon....
Anyways thanks for the upload Godai.
When this CD is available please let me know....
I will buy this for sure....
comment #16
Well I hope there is a commercial release one day - like a boxset or something when they have enough music for it...though that's just a hope :p
I hope SFA get more involved in other game projects - there stuff is just to immense to be missed
comment #17
yeah this one certainly lack a lot of song(approxiately still got 70+ song left).... the version of the ost i got from a site is Granado Espadan OST v2.2.15 ~ Witch of bahamaru
comment #18
I was not expecting guitars.
I'm glad I took a chance on this.
comment #19
Thanks for the soundtrack! I think this is the first time I've heard trance music in an MMORPG; it almost makes me want to play the game for the music alone.

I agree, excellent soundtrack. Every composer did an amazing job. I wrote a comprehensive review of this album back in April on M4G:
http://www.music4games.net/Review_Display.aspx?id=64
I doubt there will be a volume 2. If you look at the audio from the music folder in the game files, there aren't that many more. It would be an entire album of SFA and commercial techno artists. Even DJ Tiesto had a few tracks placed in the game. It would have been cool if the techno artists had created new pieces for the game, but instead, they just used previously released material. Of note (don't remember if I mentioned it in the review), SFA used to be a member of SoundTeMP. Also, ESTi was one of the main players in SoundTeMP to work on Granado Espada. Lastly, Osamu Kubota, who has done a lot of work on Beatmania, was recently featured on DJ Taka's 1st album milestone. Okay, that's it!

WOWWOWOWOWOW, amazing album. I'm writing my organic chemistry research paper while listening to M.I.S.A. by SoundTEMP, and its really stimulating the parts of my brain that I so desperately need! Thanks a bunch!
Also, to the the poster above (i.e. "Judge"), by "I'm glad I took a chance on this," do you mean to say you purchased it? I sure hope you don't consider a free download, graciously provided by Godai, to have taken too much of a toll on your personal resources... that is, unless you consider listening to the radio or conversing a friend as necessitating "taking a chance."
comment #22
I must say I too was taken by surprise to hear so much trance and electornica in the OST to a MMORPG. I was expecting rock-ish songs from SoundTeMP based on my listens of a few doujin artists, but I was presently surprised.
However.. is there any chance we can get a scan of the album cover? I've only found one passable-quality scan online, and that's the out-of-aspect picture found on that music4games review linked above; the other two pictures are.. pictures. I know we shouldn't be requesting album art, but when nothing else exists online... =\
comment #23
For the missing track, you can use this util to exact it from GE client: http://www.sendspace.com/file/8206vu (better scan before open it, i'm not sure if it is clen or not)
comment #24
Hey,
Sorry about the scan on M4G. I guess the reasoning behind that is that we feature games that sometimes don't have official soundtrack releases, or we can't get the album cover, so we use the game's box art instead. So instead of having images of different sizes on the site, we just use the box art as standard.

Thank you VERY MUCH, Jayson!
comment #26
We do have scans, but we were trying to experiment with better quality, but if bishop743 can't make better ones, I might just add yours to the site and delete your link, Jayson. Is that alright?
comment #28
I'm adding bishop743's original scans to the site, but thanks for the help Jayson.

thank you!
out of the four composers the one i liked least was SoundTeMP. the other three had some incredible in-game music.
comment #34
Oh god I love SoundTeMP. If my graphics card didn't BSOD me whenever I enable it and AT&T stopped being an ass about DSL I would be on this game day and night. >__>
