japanese game dev in the 90s: hey dude can you make some music for our game about anime girls getting fucked sloppy style
guy who's about to push the PC-98 sound card to its absolute limit and create the most heartachingly beautiful music you've ever heard: Yeah okay
If you want to avoid negative comments about this song don't go on Reddit. I love the main theme song that Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe have made. Some people are judging it as generic. Really? I mean you are allowed to your opinions but judging the music for this game with just one song? And calling Hans Zimmer's music as generic? Just wow.
Amon Tobin’s “Chaos Theory” is a gas album and no one can tell me different.
It’s the soundtrack to the first Splinter Cell, for those who don’t know about it. For people who don’t know what that is, it’s the Tom Clancy equivalent to all of Kojima’s Solid Snake hijinks and wacky adventures.
It’s a really smooth, dark tone throughout the whole album’s run (as an espionage soundtrack should be), and leans heavily into IDM elements. Chopped drum breaks, lots of floaty delays and reverb in the mix, and some stellar guitar work that really serves the vibe well. Think about a lot of Aphex Twin’s sensibilities, and you’ve got an I.ntelligent D.ance M.usic track. Guitar’s heavily compressed, but in a studio mastering way, not in a “This .mp4 file has been downloaded onto my computer since 2005” way.
Which is really impressive, given that the album was released by Amon in 2005. Good on him.
Here’s the link to it if you wanna give it a listen:
Couldn’t find it in the audio post tab. Stupid audio post tab…
Controversial opinion time:
Paper Mario Sticker Star has tracks that claps!
👏👏👏
for all my fellow nerds with any remote interest in the botw soundtrack:
molduga battle phase 2!!!!!!
it’s such a jaunty little violin track! and the person playing it clearly knows exactly what time they’re going for and did not hold back in that aggressive articulation
thinking about making an arrangement for a string quartet! it’s just so good :’)
I am immediately glad I put in headphones for this 😃 nobody told me the soundtrack was gonna be this amazing!
I have loved Dragon Age for years, so it may be a bit surprising that I've never tried any of the Mass Effect games before. But that changes tonight! I got the legendary edition on the Steam sale and I'm excited to find out what the sci-fi counterpart to my favorite franchise looks like!
I'm going to try to do live updates as I play, so follow me if you want to hear more about my first playthrough!
