"Dawn Star Theme" is reminiscent of the anime dreams I have where I'm walking through a hand-drawn garden. Maybe that's just me? Nonetheless it's a peaceful and beautifully composed song that ends way before its time (it's only a minute and 10 seconds long!). I guess what they say is true: the best things in life are usually the shortest. Actually that was a dream, too. I was playing Jade Empire and it ended after 30 minutes. The horror!
"Empire At War" is a unique and unexpected change of pace. It's faster and more vigorous, but still has that trademark whistle. The drumming here is especially noteworthy, though the whole song is excellent. It's an on-the-edge-of-your-seat theme that'll have gamers equipping themselves for battle.
