You asked for it, you got it.

After the positive reception of my Pokémon Colosseum medley, I proudly present to you, after many months of hard work, its sequel, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

Admittedly, I was reluctant to the idea at first. Pokémon XD didn’t have the same unifying feel to me as Colosseum; the musical themes are far more diverse in XD, so creating a medley out of it would be much more difficult. However after some critical listening of the soundtrack, I realized how it was genius in its own way, and knew that I was up to the challenge of recreating it.

Incorporating guitar into predominantly guitarless music is always a challenge, but in order to maintain the original feel of the soundtrack, I decided for this one to give it a little less prominence and instead allow some other instruments to shine, such as the keyboards and brass section. At this point I have to give a special mention to Marc Papeghin for his generous contribution to this project. The brass section really makes the soundtrack and this medley wouldn’t have been possible without it.

All in all I’m very pleased with how this turned out. I feel that this project is my defining work and that I’m a better overall musician after completing it. Once again thanks to Mr. Tsukasa Tawada for providing the world with this excellent music.
