Saori Kobayashi is best known as the composer for the Panzer Dragoon series of games and its kind-of-cousin Crimson Dragon, but in addition to numerous other soundtracks, she also produces original music albums as a solo artist and with Yumiko Takahashi (Suikoden) as "AKANE." Soaring, strange and anachronistic, Kobayashi's music blends traditional Japanese composition with electronic elements to create a dreamlike future folk music from that borderless country, Imagination.

More writing music! More female composers! Yay! (I just bought Terra Magica, thank you.)

The music was a huge part of what made Panzer Dragoon so cool. It was more like a playable aesthetic than a game, or something.
