Just listened to the album. It's pretty much a Kamen score, for better or worse. First of all, it's got the Kamen sound through and through, which in itself is a wonderful thing, but when you combine it with the main theme it's just magic. That said, it's all too fleeting as the melody doesn't feature much into the body of the score, which is instead largely action material. This may be a plus to Kamen fans, but I've found most of Kamen's action material bombastic yet strangely nondescript and that seemed to be the case to me here too. The animation material I'm sure requires a lot of sudden changes in tone, and that's what we get with slight moments hinting at the main melody giving way to LOUD danger music. Of course come to the closing cues we get a nice reprise of all the more pleasant moments of the score so things do come to a satisfying close, but it's pretty much how I find a lot of Kamen scores, some fairly generic underscore with moments of great height. The most satisfying part though is that after years of wondering what the score sounded like I'm finally able to hear it for myself, so major kudos to MSM for making this release happen.

In the past 48 hours I have listened to Hugo, Toy Story 3, The Artist, Road House, Renegades and Frantic and the score to Back to Gaya blows them all away! This is a fantastic score and should not be missed. If you love Kamen's scores to Robin Hood and 3 Musketeers you need to pick this baby up.
