I wouldn’t quite go as far as DM did (El Cazador is good, but not great, IMO), but I agree that El Cazador is a variation on the same trend. Does it make sense to say there’s a Kajiura repeating theme when looking at the OSTs she’s done? Either way, since I like her stuff, I guess it doesn’t really matter.

Mai Hime has been one of my favorite Kajiura soundtracks, too (well, her Boogiepop and others is very nice in a completely different way). The El Cazador de la Bruja soundtrack may well replace it --- that soundtrack has a lot of standard Kajiura fillips, but also has a good number of Spanish-influenced guitar pieces, which is an instrument that she has made excellent use of in the past. El Cazador is no Mai Hime, but its music is quite nice.

It is harsh. There are good aspects to xenoglossia, obviously. So I probably overstated that it wasn’t any good…just not good for regular consumption.

Aside from the ending theme song I didn’t really notice anything extraordinary about the music.

That’s a bit harsh.
