I guess "Demon Guest House" must have been her creative block-point in the writing process. - Dull and, somehow, struggling to find a working melody as it progresses. At least it kind of fit the ecclectic stage it was made for. And "The Pinnacle" makes perfect sense seeing as how I keep thinking of the main theme from Curse of Darkness when I hear it. Wouldn't surprise me then if she turned out to have composed "Gaze Up at the Darkness" in Portrait.
Incidentally, that's pretty cool that she also brought us "Subterranean Hell." Sounds like she was in one of her experimental moods with that piece. It's a song that definitely grew on me the more I heard it, similar to some of the stage specific themes from Curse. At any rate, here's hoping the next DS game has a more seemless collaboration, if not one single composer to handle the score. And may the end result be memorable.
