Music[]

Album cover
Wild Arms Twilight Venom Animation Soundtrack, released on January 21, 2000, is the show's official 2 disk soundtrack composed by Koh Ohtani, Sho Wada and Michiko Naruke. The album contains 64 tracks as well as 5 re-arranged tracks included inside. The soundtrack was recorded at Victor Aoyama Studio, Sound Inn, arranged by Kow Otani and published by SPE Visual Works. Twilight Venom's aesthetic tries hard to emulate Morricone's style of Western music, to the point where the show's opening theme seems to have been taken directly from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". In stark contrast, however, the show's ending theme Starry Sky Jet is a hard rock jam with a good amount of Japanese mixed in.
