Overview
Endless Frontier is a spinoff series from the Super Robot Taisen universe and features a variety of cameo appearances by characters from a variety of animes and games, such as MOMO and KOS-MOS from Xenosaga. In USA, an album was available as a pre-order bonus for first title in the series, Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier. Based on an equivalent bonus album with the Japanese release, it features ten tracks composed for the game, yet none of the drama performances.
Body
The opening theme, "Where Infinities Meet," reflects the style to expect from the full soundtrack to the game. This bubbly synth rock theme has great power behind it, in addition to a very catchy melody line. "Code: ATA (Ver. EF)" meanwhile features a great synth line with some fantastic guitar work and piano accompaniment. It's definitely one of the highlights of the album. "All Right!" also shares this rock feel.
"Flawless Full Moon" is one of the most scenic and hybridised entries on the album. It features a nice electronic beat and some beautiful woodwind and electric guitar work in the melody that combines well with some synth lines and Asian accompaniment. "Legacy of the Lost, on the other hand, definitely features more of a Wild Arms flair. The acoustic guitar accompaniment and the woodwind whistling definitely accentuate this feeling. The strings work featured is also quite good and helps reinforce the image of a Western sound.
Moving to the end of the album, "Dance It Out" is a nice funky piece with some great electronic beats that combine nicely with the synth melody and accompaniment. Despite its name, "Orchestra Army" is an upbeat synth piece with a killer melody and some nice strings accompaniment. It's a solid way to end the album.
Summary
These tracks provide a pleasant introduction to the soundtrack. However, they only provide a small sampling of what is featured in the full soundtrack, only available as a bonus with Endless Frontier EXCEED in Japan. At 19 minutes in length, this album is pretty sparing compared to the Japanese equivalent.
