Kajiura Yuki does it in Mai Hime. That's the first time I heard her arrangements, and once Ensei or Mezame became a must in my .mp3 player. But it goes dull when i tried to reminisce it, or when i compare it to the diverse tunes Yoko Kanno can make. The last album Yoko Kanno (Darker than Black) is pitching up again the level of scores for anime sountracks to higher level. However, just in the recent times when I reach a cynical view to OSTs with cliched composition and arrangement, or why-it-sounds-similar-to-previous-work OSTs, and decide not to download anymore sountracks, there goes Sato Naoki with his E7 and Heroic Age works. Maybe he was influenced by the Hollywood scores. I mean, some of the composition in his music remind me of Lord of the Rings tracks. Just waiting for Eminence to take notice of his works, and play it epic-ly in their concert :p Btw, Heroic Age was good for, er.., the last 3 episodes. Yeah somewhat i also feel the same.

Eureka Seven's OSTs were really such opuses that rightly revive the emotions that the anime's trying to portray, from the sad parts to the psychedelic excess for the largely optimistic parts. Of course, nothing less can be said of Heroic Age, though I still enjoyed Eureka Seven more. :) Also Bluwacky was prolly right...it's like Satou's just composing epic songs without really knowing how the Heroic Age goes...doesnt really capture the feel but still nice anyway. :p Hmm I think I agree with D.

It's not a big grand ol' space opera with lofty themes - it's mostly an excuse for giant Godzilla-esque monsters to growl and hit each other and a shallow "why can't we all just get along?" message IMHO. It does have a lovely score, though, thus I agree pretty much with everything you say. What's your opinion on Yasuharu Takanashi's score for Terra E? It's less bombastic than Satou's work but works very well for a show I think is much more epic and sweeping in scope.

OST2 was supremely good. I pretty much agree with you, but I like the music in Heroic Age a tad more. OST2 was supremely good.
