Member of the Japanese Band 'Language' doing music for Lightning Returns

According to the Square Enix music blog of Mitsuto Suzuki,  a member of the band Language (the singer Kaori) was brought in to do some background music mixes for the upcoming Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Roughly translated, it says that these mixes fit very well with the environments they are supposed to play in and that they are very exciting (for him personally, although this could also mean they are high-energy). He says something about leaving the studio ‘jumping for joy’, and that with the band’s help they came up with a few musical innovations he’d never considered before.

If you’d like to give Language a listen, you can find their discography here. Their music tends be generally pretty soothing, although we don’t know for sure how much these mixes will sound like what Language has already done. The SE music blog seems to indicate that the tracks are remixes of music already composed for the game, meaning they could easily be nighttime/early morning tracks. Have some thoughts on this music? Discuss it below!
