Review: Oriental OST Collection 2020 (Tree of Savior)

Nearing the end of our journey through all of the additional digital Tree of Savior soundtrack albums, Oriental OST Collection 2020, while not identified as music from Tree of Savior on the album cover, is definitely from Tree of Savior featuring mostly S.F.A but also a few tracks from soundTeMP and Cinenote. As the title suggests, this is largely music featuring ethnic instruments from the region, and is contemplative and soothing in its presentation. If you want to get caught up on our reviews, they can be found here.

The album opens with “Absolution” with droning bass pads with strings and zither over the top, coming off as foreboding and resolute. It’s then on to the contemplative and sweeping “Bamboo Grove,” the seeping and somber “Farewell,” the driving “Heartstrings” with its rolling percussion, and the airy and floaty “Juvenile Xanadu.” “One Eyes Swordsman” is a change of pace with chugging bass and buzzing saw pad, whereas “Reincarnation” is a bumping electronic track. It’s back to sweet and emotional with “Slower Whisper,” grandiose with “Southwest,” and beautiful piano and bells in “The Sword of Tears.” The album closes out with the dreamy electronics of “A Tale of Wind and Cloud” and the bustling “Tyro Emperor.”

As always, you can find the Oriental OST Collection 2020 release on YouTube and Steam.
