This music is Godly Awesome

I would love to go to a Golden Sun Soundtrack Concert, but he never did one, why, oh why? T_T
-
@Viertel I haven't played it, but I'd guess the game Advent Rising had a great soundtrack from Tommy Tallarico.
-
@Viertel well there are a couple westen soundtracks that are good. Gears of war is one. the games that have the best music in my opinion are indie games though.
-
@DarkDruid7 Not only that, but the fact that Japanese composers actually give a damn about having melodies, themes, and motifs/leitmotifs that run throughout the entire soundtrack. I can't recall a single Western game offhand who had memorable music because they *ALL* sound the same -- bland, tutti orchestral sounds with no substance.

AND vocals! ;)
-
@BurtonNewsted except that he completely blows Geddy Lee out of the water on keyboards. Geddy couldn't even finish the piano lessons he paid for! He should stick to what he's good at (bass)
-
Well, if you compare him to a Rush member, he'd be more like Geddy Lee.
-
@BurtonNewsted he's the drummer for the band Rush. He's known for having a gigantic drum set. haha I guess that's a bad reference to make on a video about VG music

Who the hell is Neil Peart?
Fayt: Oh-ho, a REAL concert!

There's a difference that I've noticed between Western and Japanese video game composers. Western composers favorite film-like video game music with a heavy emphasis on orchestration, but also techno/trance to an extent. However, Sakuraba and Uematsu are two examples of composers who get their inspirations from elsewhere: Jazz, Latin, Classical, Baroque, but most notably Progressive Rock. I think game music needs to stop trying to be film music; it needs to be different, like Sakuraba.
