The thing I love most about this track is the harp ostinato that initially defines itself around 1-2-5-- sus2-- that gives the track this constantly slightly unresolved, uncertain feel that it carries for nearly its entire duration.

It really suits the track's mood, too-- emotionally ambivalent, hesitant, a bit sad all the way through. other notes: -when I played beyond good and evil for the first time I was really struck by the sound of Home Sweet Home when it played (the first area)-- it's a track I've loved since then, one I've always enjoyed revisiting, and probably my favourite from this game, which is why of course it makes sense that I'd nominate a completely different track in VGMC1 (Dancing with DomZ) and use yet another one (Hyllian Suite) in my first guessing game -I always assume stg_travel_2_3 is Kaneda because of 0:34 but that's probably too hasty a conclusion; either way that part of the track is rad and the track as a whole is really cool and I'll talk about it more if it makes it to round 2, probably ...
