What kind of music would you like to hear in SCVI?

With Soulcalibur VI hopefully approaching us, I figured we should discuss something I always appreciated. That of course is the music. Soulcalibur isn't like other games where the music is a generic electronic beat, but rather a variety of songs that take varying influences, and are masterfully crafted. I could listen to most of the songs from the SC games and be satisfied.

So, what kind of music are you hoping to have here?

Personally, I'd like to hear some more track utilizing harmonized vocals, to give an epic feel. Something like would be awesome.


Another orchestral would be good, maybe something to play while in a higher place of existence. Inspiration:


A song with Japanese influences, and a prominent shakuhachi (Japanese flute) would fit well in a Japanese stage.


And finally a symphonic metal track, because why not? We could use more after Algol's themes.


So what about you guys? Post what you'd like to hear, maybe some videos for inspiration. Obviously I don't expect them to flat-out use these songs, they're just to give you an idea of what I have in mind.

Good music obviously. Nothing that sounds terrible to the ears.

Obviously we all want good music, but any specific kinds? Like what would you want to hear that fits the theme of SC? Remember, the games take diverse influences depending on the character/stage in question and is fully orchestrated.
 
I would like to hear re-imaginings of old songs from previous SC games. Similar to how they do it in the Smash Bros series. Here's a great example:

Original:

Smash interpretation:

It would be really cool to hear some fresh takes on classic SC themes. It's an opportunity to do some really interesting things, like take a song and give it a completely new and different emotional tone.
 
They should get as many songs as they can, and put them to the in-game Museum with an option to buy. Of course with in-game currency, not real money. Hearing one more time "An Oath of the Sword" in character select screen - priceless.
 
Soul Edge's catchiness+Soul Calibur III's sound quality=The perfect SCVI soundtrack.

And another Super KHAN session inspired, live jazz soundtrack.
 
The first trailer has a rearrangement of Mitsu's theme from SC1. The demo (which is set in Sophitia's stage) also has a new version of her theme from that game. I'd expect mostly remixes of old themes on the sweet orchestral style of the later games.
 
I hate soul calibur pachislot but I must admit that the soundtrack was really kick ass. If they used the same style of soundtrack in VI, that would be the tits.

EDIT: Oh and bring back Path of Destiny and maybe Patroklos theme somehow.

So basically like Street Fighter? Well, that sucks.

But they've always done that, so I shouldn't be surprised.

My own, darn-it. They could have a Jukebox feature like Tekken does so any choice of your own music may be placed in for people's own offline enjoyment. Oh, but treading within the lines of what you're asking, how about "An Oath To The Sword" from Soul Blade?
 
I want to see a return of Junichi Nakatsuru. He's composed a ton of great music for the series, and while having some guest composers is a good idea, I think they went overboard with SC5. Nakatsuru only composed 3 tracks for that entire game and I don't think a lot of the composers they got on board were as good as the guys they got to make extra music for SC2/3/4.
 
I have no idea why it took me so long to realize this - I'd love to hear Path of Destiny as the ending theme again. But if they do it, I hope they get it right, unlike the SCIV version.
 
A remix of Unblessed Soul

And in Name of the Father for Soul Calibur I

Something like Water Dance would be great too


Anything but V's, V's soundtrack is so boring.
 
Viola's theme is wonderful. One of my favorites.

SC6 needs metal, like Algol themes.
