It's just one of fan nicknames before the official release. Personally, I call it "Puella Magi theme" since it played every time more information on the system was revealed. Taking guesses by the official tracklist of OST 1, it may be the first track, "Sis Puella Magica!"

Riga92 · 2011-05-15, 15:05

Everyone remember how Magia was slowed down and distorted in episode 1? Here's a full version of it.

To me, this sounded a lot better than when they corrected it for the BD release. The distortion made it sound a lot creeper imo.

Akashin · 2011-05-15, 15:43

Found that a while ago, and put it on repeat for like three days in preparation for the last two episodes.

I haven't heard the changed BD version you're talking about, but I absolutely love the slow version.

Riga92 · 2011-05-15, 16:23

The BD version uses the regular version of Magia, no slow down or distortions. It's just like when we revisited the dream sequence in episode 10. I love both versions of Magia, no doubt, but I felt the slow version felt more appropriate in the dream sequence in episode 1. Gave hints that Madoka isn't all happy and cute like everyone at first thought

Akashin · 2011-05-15, 16:31

I didn't feel that the normal version went well as a fight BGM. The slow version was far more menacing (and sounded vaguely Egyptian, which wasn't helped by the fact that the episode 1 WN looked kind of like a genie's lamp

) and really set the dark mood for the scene. That isn't to say that the normal version isn't dark (it works wonderfully in the ED), but the slower version just fit as a fight BGM there.

Riga92 · 2011-05-15, 16:43

Totally agree, and I didn't notice it at first, but now that you mentioned it, WN did really look like a genie lamp in the first episode

I liked it, too, but the problem was with the rest of BGM following suit. I was confused about the vocalist in Mami's theme for quite a while because in all consequent episodes she sounded like Eri Itoh for sure, but the slowdown version resembles Hanae Tomaru more (the vocalist Kajiura worked with in Mai-Hime and Kara no Kyoukai).

Although some other tracks, like Homura's theme, hardly suffered from the slowdown.

About Vol3 CD... Will it have no character song this time, or do they just have yet to announce the rest of the content?

Azule · 2011-05-19, 06:55

Is the OST in Volume 2 the complete OST or just part of it?

BlueWitch · 2011-05-19, 09:31

There will most likely be 2 OST's. The other maybe coming out in vol 4 or 5 is my guess.

Snork · 2011-05-19, 10:23

My guess is that if there wasn't going to be the second OST, they wouldn't name this one "Vol 1" in the first place.

RedKey · 2011-05-23, 14:49

The first part of the OST was posted on nicovideo =O now excuse me while I bathe in awesomeness. My body definitely wasn't ready.

(linking videos of said soundtrack doesn't break the forum rules, does it?)

konart · 2011-05-23, 15:20

The ost is on the torrents already. LQ though

Mentar · 2011-05-23, 16:20

Haaah... tearing up a bit on listening to the songs. Especially "Terror adhaerens", which I immediately recognized as the piece playing when Kyoko and Madoka were walking towards the showdown with Sayaka. I can see them walking with my inner eye...

Kajiura always knew how to write upbeat, exhilarating battlechants. Madoka showed her mastery now also extends to laments - slow, tragic pieces full of emotion. I'd pay a nice sum of money to have a FLAC version of the Walpurgisnacht battle lament right now, but I guess I'll have to wait some more ^_^;

Wonderful stuff.

You talk as if this is the first time she does this.
Anyway, first part of the OST was pretty standart. Guess I'll have to wait for Kasahara's song for quite a while.

Riga92 · 2011-05-23, 18:40

Just listened to the whole OST about 3 times now. Every song is glorious, I cried tears of joy when I first heard the main theme playing....beautiful. I feel like I can go to magical girl heaven now

Can't wait for OST Vol. 2...I really want to hear Oktavia's theme!

Shiroth · 2011-05-24, 02:44

Pretty much all the stand out themes we heard from the first half of the series are here, which is expected. Classic Kajiura as we've all said before, meaning i can listen to it stand alone for a long time to come.

Still say it's very similar to her Tsubasa Chronicle score

. More so stand alone.

Kuroi Hadou · 2011-05-24, 03:15

I don't suppose anyone knows where I can find a high res pic of the cover art for the OST?

sa547 · 2011-05-24, 03:19

Sorry 'bout that, Crow. :|

Arkanis · 2011-05-24, 13:14

In my opinion the first part of the ost is a little underwhelming (except sis puella magica and Puella in somnio). Most of the killer tracks seem to be part of the second volume (like the violine version of Conturbatio, the orchestral version of sis puella magica and some other). I hope all the different versions of the songs will be realeased eventually.

zato_1one · 2011-05-24, 14:15

The low quality one miss the thirteenth song. I have a Flac version thanks to Madoka fan in other forum. xxxx. Each song doesn't have a name though. But you can edit it yourself.

01 Sis puella magica!
02 Salve, terrae magicae
03 Gradus prohibitus
04 Credens justitiam
05 Clementia
06 Desiderium
07 Conturbatio
08 Postmeridie
09 Puella in somnio
10 Umbra nigra
11 Terror adhaerens
12 Scaena felix
13 Pugna cum maga

Translation

01 Become a Magical Girl!
02 Greetings, Worlds of Magic
03 Hindered Steps
04 Believing in Justice
05 Compassion
06 Longing
07 Disorder
08 Afternoon
09 The Girl in Sleep
10 Black Shadow
11 Clinging Terror
12 A Blessed Scene
13 A Duel with a Witch

Still need to wait for WPN fight song. That's definitely the most epic song in the series.
