An enjoyable contrast between the slower, more peaceful tracks in the menus / cutscenes and the upbeat funky grooves of the actual levels. All the menu / cutscene tracks don't have any drums, so when the the level starts the player instinctively get some adrenaline pumping due to the pace. Uroboros Unbound is probably the most impressive track, it still maintains the funky groove but is mixed with a fun scale (Phrygian Dominant with an A natural sometimes?) and some exotic percussion instruments. Production for the drum and bass is great, they're clear and punchy, making the beat unmissable. Enjoyable listen!

Thanks! I'm glad you found it enjoyable! yes the B section in Uroboros Unbound has an A natural in it, which I found to be interesting because the Phrygian Dominant and natural minor share the same upper tetrachord (which in the Hijaz maqam it's the Nihavend jins (starting the 4th degree) in Middle Eastern scale nomenclature), I don't know much about how modulation is carried out in this kind of music but I essentially moved the lower tetrachord (C Db E F, also called Jins Hijaz, the characteristic nodes of the scale so to speak) to start on the E key, the 3rd degree of the scale.
My knowledge of Middle Eastern music is quite limited, I hope it provides some insight nonetheless! ^*^

Thanks for the explanation, that makes a lot sense, it's a bit like a parallel melody. I haven't studied Middle Eastern music at all, so you're definitely the expert here :P
