Jam of the Day: Little Fugue in G Minor remixed by Shoji Meguro (Catherine Sound Disc)

The soundtrack to Catherine can essentially be divided into 2 sections, both of which are handled by Persona series composer Shoji Meguro. The first is an original score that plays in the background to the real world. The second is an assortment of classical remixes that play during the games nightmare stages.

While the original material certainly does its job, I find the latter far more interesting, not just because of the quality of the time-tested compositions, but because of how odd it is to hear them arranged this way and placed in this context.

The arrangements vary in style and are consistently enjoyable, but Meguro’s take on J. S. Bach’s Little Fugue in G minor hits me in all the right places. Perhaps it’s the infectiously heavy beat or the source’s use in another game I love. Either way, it’s my favorite track featured in the game thus far.
