Dave calls Jay to discuss the unique soundscape of Secret Of Mana, and how composer Hiroki Kikuta set out to make a game soundtrack that was truly unlike any other.  Dave points out how the soundtrack, in many ways, resembles a prog-rock album with its extremely specific instrument samples custom-made by Kikuta himself, and it’s extraordinarily unusual use of rhythm and unexpected time signatures. Ultimately, Dave demonstrates how all of these distinctive elements come together in the game's battle music, Danger, in a thrilling manner that strikes a careful balance between order and chaos.
