Hitoshi Sakimoto ~discuss~

I like his ambience in Vagrant Story and some of FFT(A) stuff he's made, but otherwise, not.

For me, his music lacks something important, which makes it all sound the same: meaningless, emotionless and filler. I think it's the lack of a distinctive lead sound, a melody in other words. Without a melody it's usually just a wall of sound doing nothing, especially when Sakimoto decides to use massive string sections.

Dunno, I think my view of music has something to do with it. I just can't appreciate half-assedness in music.

Again, every time I question a Sakimoto fan about their reasoning behind being a fan, they go all berserk on me and saying stuff like "you just don't get it" and such. Has anyone come across said group-defining behaviour?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think those are all from his better soundtracks that I already mentioned? ;)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
