Baroque - Music from the Original Soundtrack - Invitation To The Future
This is something I'd listen to when I want to relax. The instrumentation got me under its spell. Cooking Mama (Game Rip) - Track 2 Lively and fun. Yet I couldn't get into it as much as I wanted to. Maybe this is due to the simplicity of this track and/or the fact it comes from a GBA(?) game, so the sound is not as realistic as could be (although it's great for handheld audio). FantaVision Original Soundtrack - SOUTHISLAND ~ STAGE1,2 Was too repetitive for its own good. The fact I didn't notice any strong melodic elements brought this piece further down. But it's good for background music and the sound palette is enjoyable. FM Sound Module Maniax - Reminiscence I was already familiar with "Reminiscence" and it's definitely one of the best tracks on FM Sound Module Maniax (I also like Kenji Ito's "Last Night" very much). The mood is a little tense, which can be a turn off for me, but the piece as a whole is well balanced to keep it within my acceptable limits. A great Sakuraba track! Mr. Gimmick (Game Rip) - Good Weather (Level 2, Pirate Fuzzy's Ship) Good light-hearted chiptune. Makes me feel nostalgic even if I didn't play the game. However, I find the sound is tiny compared to when I play the NSF because the bass is all cut down, so there might be something wrong with the recording. Söldner-X Himmelsstürmer Original Video Game Soundtrack - War Above the Clouds Rafael Dyll cited Chris Hülsbeck as one of his inspirations when composing game music and I think that it couldn't be denied here. There's a nice European synth vibe to "War Above the Clouds" and it sets an atmosphere I dig. On the other hand, I didn't find the melodic aspect to be very elaborated. Not that it's a must, but a strong hook usually helps a song to be memorable. Sonic Blast Man II (SNES Game Rip) - Port Town (Stage 3) Being a big fan of Art of Noise, I can get into the vocal sample usage. Hopefully the other participants will accept it as well even if the human voice appears to be a taboo for many VGM fans. Kind of a follow-up to your Savage nom, eh Draconis?  The tune is funky and groovy, and I like that.Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito Image Sound Track - Deep Dream-Shadows Beautiful and charming. Well performed too, which is always a plus. While it's not the kind of music I listen to the most, "Deep Dream-Shadows" will now be part of the playlist when I'll be in the mood for soothing orchestral + vocal material. ------------------ (3 points) FM Sound Module Maniax - Reminiscence (2 points) Sonic Blast Man II (SNES Game Rip) - Port Town (Stage 3) (1 point) Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito Image Sound Track - Deep Dream-Shadows ------------------ And before I forget, here's my next nom: Composer: Stephen Root, Neil Palmer Game Title: Fantastic Four (PSX Redbook Audio) Track Title: Large Wars Track Number: 9 Year: 1997 Source: VGM Rush I'll send the track to the SotW server. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
