Torchwood: Children of Earth
Wow. That was... bleak. Excellent drama, but oh so very bleak. I think I ought to watch something super-happy tomorrow. | | Monday, July 6th, 2009 | | 19:42 |
Soaring Glorious fan version of the Flight theme from Xenogears. It's a straight orchestral arrangement, using a combination of synthesized orchestra and live instruments. It's a little over a year since I last linked to a fan arrangement of this piece. As I mentioned in a response to a comment against that entry, I think the melody has a bittersweet quality. Thinking about it, I'm not entirely sure whether it's the melody itself, or the connotations, though; if memory serves (and it may well not, it's been years), the piece was used as the backing music during a heroic sacrifice scene in the game. | | Saturday, July 4th, 2009 | | 14:11 |

An adult return to Skaro, please
I was riding in a bus yesterday afternoon. There was some kind of wave interference effect going on between the deep thrumming of the engine noise as the bus idled at traffic lights and bus stops, and the sound of the conversations around me. It was not unlike a ring modulator. Everyone sounded like Daleks. | | Saturday, June 20th, 2009 | | 14:27 |
Sakuraba squee
I saw a TV advert for Star Ocean: The Last Hope, which made me wonder what the soundtrack is like. I found Squenix's official site for the soundtrack which has clips of some of the tracks. I'm guessing "Blood on the Keys" is the standard battle theme; give it a listen if you've ever heard a Motoi Sakuraba battle theme before and you'll see what I mean. I wish the clips were longer. "Night of the Chase" sounds tantalizingly good. | | Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 | | 19:37 |
