Immediately following Sakimoto's introductory work for Square, Radiant Silvergun developed by Treasure is perhaps one of the composer's darkest and most unrelenting techno soundtracks. The score returns to the tradition of the Orge series in the martial themes evident in the soundtrack, bringing to the forefront artificial-sounding samples, such as synthetic horn instruments and chimes, to convey the futuristic aspect of space flight together with the familiar military theme of engaging in war against an opponent. In spite of the tremendous energy present in the compositions for this dystopian shooter, the music still reflects the composer's ability to balance tension and turmoil with contemplative melodies. Even in a high-octane track like "Debris," while war drums are pounding in the distance, certain passages verge on the soothing and meditative.
