Ufotable‘s channel has a stream today with Kara no Kyoukai soundtrack to celebrate Shiki’s birthday (according to google, February 17) that will durate until the release of the birthday illustration of Shiki Ryougi.

Its playing some hours now and what’s more surprising is that it contains demo tracks with different vocals (eg Kajiura instead of Hanae Tomaru), sfx and instruments and some bgms are totally unreleased too

Its still unknown if any of that will make it to a CD release or will be just in this stream.

Update: The stream ended at midnight of February 16, Japan time.
