Because of that it this character/image album is quite different from the earlier mentioned long Japanese tradition of character albums. Call them an informal approach to each character, a demo if you will, used in publicity videos to introduce the developers’ content. The majority of tracks are labeled as (New) Character Demo or Character Announcement and Character teaser. Some short musical cues sound like actual small story interludes or mini-games. The release does fulfil its expectations. Therefore, I would not recommend The Stellar Moment release to anyone, unless you understand the concept of a character album, and are willing to listen to, luckily, a different type of ‘character album’ fantastic (orchestral) music that mingles with all sort of styles and sounds that, sometimes, could not have been removed further from its original sound. Obviously, the second type of character album is much preferred, but it can still provide such a hugely deviating, often embarrassing result, that diminishes the quality of the original score, but may attract those of an acquired taste. But some of these albums, a minority though, expand on the original score written for specific characters using a wild range of the more popular renditions, including songs as well. Character albums, sometimes called Image albums either include a lot of actual new non- or somehow related to the characters of a game, series or film by allowing characters, voice actors, to sing songs, or they offer newly created songs by various artists based on such characters. However, the disappointing thing it’s called a Character OST Album, which is a practice the Japanese have been using for ages. On February 4th 2021 the developers launched a Genshin Impact 1.3 update, coinciding with a new musical release by Yu-Peng Chen and introducing Dimeng Yuan as secondary composer The Stellar Moment. ![]() Only then, was I able to conceive the impressive overall merits, easily the best video game score of 2020. Altogether, they included more than 3,5 hours music, and the composer made additional music available online. The Wind and The Star Traveler was followed by two more releases, City of Winds and Idylls and Jade Moon Upon a Sea of Clouds. My initial response to its first music release, The Wind and the Star Traveler, was arguably carefully praiseworthy of the original score. In 2020 the Chinese role-playing video game Genshin Impact was released, featuring an original score by composer Yu-Peng Chen. ![]()
