Clive Barker's Jericho Soundtrack CD - Final Confrontation
Splendid sound and choir performance that could rival those from many films. The composition had no effect on me though; I can listen to the track, but don't feel excited in any way. I guess fans of dark orchestral music might dig it more than I did. DJMAX PORTABLE Original Sound Tracks - OBLIVION Delivers both the beauty of classical music and the uplifting energy of techno. Short and sweet, although I wouldn't have frowned upon a longer development. Explosive Racing (Red Book Audio) - Antarctica French VGM intrigues me, as I think many great tunes originated from this country. "Antarctica" is one of my relatively recent discoveries, which was used in the rather unpopular sequel to Burning Road. To me, it's the highlight of the soundtrack with it's deep sound, high energy, and good performance. While the vocals are tolerable since they are only present in a small part of the track and they are actually OK (or at least better than those in the other tracks from the game), I could have honestly done without them. Also, the track feels a bit unpolished at times structure and performance-wise. Still, it blows me away (especially with that guitar sound)! Galax (Game Rip) - White Roof (Stage 3) Sounds like old arcade music, both for the synthesized sound and the structure. It started OK, but I was deceived by the lack of a strong melody. Rocket Knight Adventures (Game Rip) - Final Stage I find it difficult to enjoy industrial music produced by retro sound chips. This one in particular felt like a "wall of sound", not having much hooks I can rely on to memorize the tune. In-game, it must fit well the final stage by creating a tense atmosphere, but when I listened to it while walking my dog, it was a bit too heavy and somewhat of a downer. Shuffle! Original Soundtrack - Don't be afraid. Solid 80's rock tune, doing everything well and being enjoyable to boot! However, it didn't cross the frontier of "greatness" territories in my musical world. The reason is that albeit being good, I found it was rather generic for its category and it somehow got lost in the upper-levels of the mass. Sorcerian Super Arrange Version II Plus Sorcerian System Vol.1 - The Choice is Yours Isn't it from that real obscure company... umm you know... Falcom? Got a smooth jazzy vibe going on, which I appreciate, and the various instruments in the solos bring forth a good variety even if the basis structure gets repetitive and monotonous after 4 minutes. Interesting tune. V' BALL - Iron Wing (Aircraft Carrier Theme) This comes from a good album (and musician team). While it's not my fav track ("SeaSide Walker" is, which I nominated here in the past), "Iron Wing" is still a solid piece. While I love the saxophone as an instrument, I unfortunately did not really feel the solo of it at the end of this song. Otherwise, the light mood of the track makes it a good candidate for everyday listens. ------------------ (3 points) Explosive Racing (Red Book Audio) - Antarctica (1 point) DJMAX PORTABLE Original Sound Tracks - OBLIVION (1 point) Shuffle!
