Music of A Missing Year

The music of Xenosaga II to III: A Missing Year consists of 35 music tracks used as background music in the video series, as well as two tracks that went unused but were still kept on the website internally. All tracks were composed by Yuki Kajiura. As the vast majority of tracks were never released in any official capacity, very little is known about the music as a whole.

The music is primarily made with a combination of recorded instruments and electronic instruments, and is in general of significantly lower audio quality than the soundtracks of the mainline Xenosaga games. It also includes one track with English lyrics, my long forgotten cloistered sleep (unreleased work of Xenosaga), with lyrics written by Kajiura and sung by Emily Bindiger.

The only track with an official title is my long forgotten cloistered sleep (unreleased work of Xenosaga), as this was the only track released on an album. The unreleased tracks have unofficial titles in relatively widespread use, mostly as a result of the music being archived with a set of unofficial titles before the website was taken down. (Where applicable, this wiki uses these unofficial titles, although with some changes to reflect tracks being used or remixed in the music of Xenosaga Episode III).
