Masaru Yokoyama - Ultrafast Engine [ Kanata no Astra ]

This one is another main theme of a show that has been adapted into different versions for different parts of the show. But each version has a uniqueness to it in this show.
I feel this to be the best track from the show. Its a great theme that has a sense of danger and the feeling of accomplishment in it. Consequently there are two halves of this track, that cover those feelings, however this track is more focussed on the sense of danger feeling than accomplishment. The accomplishment feeling is more covered by another track that i'll be putting up in coming weeks.
The track starts of with very subtle cellos with some sort of chromatic percussion instrument along with it. Then the drums kick in and the cellos finally come in front with the theme of the track. The slow drums and cellos at 0:10 create a very nice and intense atmosphere buildup and at 0:34 the main intensity of the track starts. The 0:51 part is what I talked about having a little sense of accomplishment, but the track does not totally go into that, as the part from 1:15 onwards still maintains that sense of danger. The track has a really nice orchestral composition, which on top of being good is also kind of catchy. Its a type of track that gets the person hooked to it.
I remember this track was shared by another person on Discord, which I totally forgot when I was watching the show. I realized about that once I heard a similar tune to this when I was watching the first episode haha.
PS: I just checked, it seems the video quality is not similar to previous uploads. Probably I forgot to change the upscaling mode. Oops :p

Astra lost in space. One of the best anime ever. I wish it had more season.

It ended perfectly. Maybe an ova would be ok but another season would ruin what was pretty perfect imho
