What are you listening to... RIGHT NOW?

[eViL bAz]

why keep debating if you and Dan think Uematsu its a great Composer and Kilu no what will happen??? Nothing you wont change Kilu opinion about Uematsu, so If you like it enjoy his music if Kilu dont like then he can enjoy The others Composers, the thing here is that you wont change Kilus mind if thats what are you intend to do, I love the composers that Kilu mention as I Love Uematsu's work but we have to enjoy the music we like and stop this MORE-LIKE-FIGHT Debate : dont you think better keep those strength for the world Domination hehehehehehe :evilgrin: well thats my two cents

[silverDistortioN]

firstly, yes i think Kilu and Yojimbo are getting a little too much into this... (daniel seems unusually tolerable to me for some reason, however. >.>)

anyway... despite me explicitly saying so, i didn't mean to imply that i think any other composer is truly better than Uematsu. instead, i was hoping people would come to realize that each person has his own opinion, and no matter how much you may like Uematsu, there will always be others who prefer someone else. furthermore, as bAz said, debate will be highly unlikely to change either party's views; it's kind of like arguing about whether or not red is a better color than blue.

and also, bunbun is a pseudonym (and an excellent one at that)... not the guy's actual name.
...although names have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with one's ability as a composer.

oh, one last thing... what's your logic on opinions being wrong, daniel? i mean, i can picture most people disagreeing with a particular opinion... and i can see the entire world disagreeing with one man's opinion... but i don't really see where they could, in fact, be *wrong*. (i mean, of course, something other than, say, a doctor's opinion. language can be tricky that way.)

[Yojimbo]

ok i will cool off, for today at least. but opinions can be wrong
for example i could say 'crime is the only answer to having a peaceful society' but obviously this opinion is WRONG. correct, once Kilu has his opinion it cannot be changed, but i wish it would from time to time when his opinion is wrong.

[daniel]

I will say this and let u ponder;)

I said it before but got blasted but if u take this meaning the way it is presented u will find opinions can be wrong.

I am a murderer. I murder cause I am a twisted git in this case. It is my opinion that it is right for me never to be caught!

Is that opinion wrong?

Is kasparov the greatest human chess player to have lived? is that an opinion. I think not, he certainly is. Sometimes no matter what the opinion it can be wrong given enough thought, there are lots that can be disputed, hell they try in vain to say kasparov is not the best chess player to have lived. their opinions are wrong. Mine is not always right but in some circumstanes i truly believe i am vindicated. in others they are pure opinions that i cannot argue with

Also, I myself knew it was not a guys name but I am very interested now to find out why bunbun:):):)

Anyway thast all for today i have nothing further to add really:)

EDIT: i made yojimbo take that quote off casue it was me who presented him with it;) he use the same logic as my argument though the copy;) haha

(i'm moving this to the serious discussion area... http://rpgamers.info/showthread.php?p=11475#post11475)

[jetblue]

Im....uh....listening to uh.....some spyro Stewart Copeland re-mixes.
Wow I cant belive I missed all of this.
You guys should all get your energy together and make a RPG opera. I bet it would be kick ass awsome.

[daniel]

Listening to Kids run through the city corner, FF6 soundtrack has really grown on me in recent months.

[Kilu]

Kilu if you was to ask all these oriental composers who they believe is there rolemodel im sure they would pick Uematsu due to his incredable success
Firstly, some of the guys that I think are better than Uematsu have started composing on the same era (or earlier even) as him (NES era, that is) so I sincerely doubt Uematsu being any kind of rolemodel to them. It's true that Masashi Hamauzu has said (if I remember correctly) in some interview that listening to Uematsus music got him into composing. It might have been some other guys as well. However, this is irrelevant, yet again.

Even if his influence is widely recognized, it does not mean that he is superior composer comparing to everyone else. In my opinion.

why keep debating if you and Dan think Uematsu its a great Composer and Kilu no what will happen???
That's what I would like to know. Truth is that too often when anyone brings up anything negative about Uematsus music (yes, I'm not the only one, believe me) it results in a mild war of some sort. Hanging out in several vgm related forums has taught me that. It's sad really.

firstly, yes i think Kilu and Yojimbo are getting a little too much into this...
Me? Getting too much into this? No way :shades:

[daniel]

this was supposed to be continued elsewhere.

I will quickly say that kilu you are no innocent. Its the way you present your own opinion that sparks a "war". I think this discussion is good, strong opinions being argued is a good, but sadly usually unfriendly encounter.

and no its not that there is "anything negative" that makes me want to debate its just that to you it seems everything is negative. i heard nowt positive really, just this album is disappointing better than the first (which is again rubbish) but still boring. this is better and that is. can i ask you kilu, what in your opinion has uematsu done that IS good. i noticed that in your top 10 vgm albums there was no uematsu. I found that incredible, though yes its your opinion. And i don't want to change your opinion at all. Like i said before I can accept negative comments. I hate some of usmatsu work myself, but.....alot of people go too far, I have no idea why.

[Kilu]

I was under the impression that only the "opinions can be wrong" argument was supposed to go on somewhere else :p

I'm quite aware of this. I'm rather blunt even when I'm trying not to be. Some people take it almost personally even if it's not meant to be.

Well, I'm assuming that the "first and second" album you are referring to are the Black Mages albums. They both suffer mostly from the bad choice of tracks, not suited for this rockish approach at all. They also lack some really good new ideas. They are just the same old themes played with guitar on the lead. I need more variation from arrangements. And from rock/metal in general as well. This kind of cheesy 80' leatherpants metal rock stuff is not my style at all. And I can't say the vocalists on Black Mages 2 are all that great. I mean, really. The playing is okay, Sekito and Okamiya can axe, Uematsu and Fukui know their keyboards, Hanyuda and Kawamori play their instruments okay as well. However, I'm really disappointed in the variation that drum and basslines has, which is next to none. Hanyuda keeps the steady beat, but doesn't seem to have much freedom on fills, and sounds like he is bored when he plays. And the basslines are oh so boring, Kawamori could probably play them with one hand. As I'm mostly a bass and percussion man, this is probably the biggest reason why I don't care much for either of the Black Mages albums.

As for good stuff... I think best complete (complete as in, not one song from one soundtrack or whatever, but every track of any given game) work of Uematsu is Dynami Tracer. It's a japanese SNES game, no OST. I have never played the game myself, but the main part what struck me as brilliant in this piece of work is that it sounds fresh. And different. When it all comes down to it, I'm probably more tired of "generic Final Fantasy sound" rather than Uematsu. However, as Uematsu is mostly known of his FF music, it's obvious how this translates to tiredness of Uematsus music. Dynami Tracer, while older game, is not bound with FF limits, so to speak, and it sounds like Uematsu had free hands on the music, rather than tied to "composing more FF music". If you know what I mean. Like, people expect to hear Final Fantasy music in Final Fantasy game, and Uematsu delivers. In this perspective it was a good move from Uematsu to go freelance. This way can have more say on the music he composes, which would make his music more interesting. His hands are now free, which hopefully will result in some good shit.

And other good stuff?
judgment day, jenova, electro de chocobo, mods the chocobo, liberi fatali, mako reactor music(come on, I can't remember every damn song name ;) ), znarakand, path of redemption. There are lots more obviously. But in such huge amount of songs that he has composed, the great stuff is easily drowned in the ocean of more or less mediocre stuff. And that's a reason why I had no Uematsu albums in my top 10 list. In every album there are these hot shits that hit you in the nuts, then you have the good stuff, and then yo uhave the OK stuff that goes well with the game but doesn't stand out all that much, and have very little value outside the game, other than nostalgy reminders of the game, and then there are the ugh so bad songs that simply drag the album down on my list. Basicly, most oh his albums/works are not complete, so to speak.

:ponder:

I'm just way too lazy to proofread that, so pardon the the existing typos and whatnots.

It's the same view as ever, just not as blunt as usual :)

Listening to Come Join Us by Bad Religion from The Gray Race

[Ephraim]

I think the last 2 paragraphs, which is the clearest statement I've read so far of your opinion of Uematsu, did it. An opinion I completely agree with, BTW, although I do include many more tracks among my favorites than you, Kilu. Some of Uematsu's works are boring and repetitive, not worth listening to. But I do enjoy listening to many of his works as well. That's why I prefer my own burned CD soundtracks over ones I buy. That way I get all my favorite songs together!:dance:

[Yojimbo]

alas, the Uematsu debate is fading into the distance, dont feel like having another one of those in a long while. i agree ephraim it is good to have your best tracks on you own cd, it never gets boring, most of the tunes on my cd's are from that man....you know who i meanhttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/wink.gif.

Pieces by SUM41. Accoustic version

I just love their new album...

That track along with We're all to blame were enough to make me buy this album.

[bjp4444]

currently, nothing. but earlier, "interstate love song" by stp was on HEAVY rotation. i can't get the music to that song out of my head once i hear it. you can even get rid of the words, thier unimportant. it's perfect driving music.

I'm listening to my buddies playing Resident Evil 4...

[Zeugma 440]

Now listening to "Junk! Junk! Junk!" from Moonlit Shadow OST, by Miki Higashino

That's a very special album, with a jazz / hip-hop feel that I have never heard before in VGM-related albums. It needs more than one listen to give an opinon, IMO :wonder:
I finally end up admiring Kenji Kawai's work on Nobunaga's Ambition Online although I first picked the release just to get Moonlit Shadow :D

"To Lands Unknown" by Sleepy Emp (Chrono Trigger Remix) :)

I have to agree that Vagrant Story OST is brilliant.

Listening to dodonpachi DAI-OU-JOU & ESPGALUDA -Perfect remix- album. Not all that great.

[bjp4444]

definitely, kilu. the music is just so.....haunting. it really hits you. i think the undercity and temple of kilitia (perhaps it is the great cathedral? i can't remember right now, and my soundtrack is titled in japanese.) music gets me the most.

Sakimoto is a damn genius :)

Listening to Parasite Eve.

[Yojimbo]

well i have just finished playing 'MGS Snake Eater' so therefore i have been listening to the music score, and i must say it is exceptionally good (in my opinion), i have been listening to the main MGS tune, which on snake eater is played with a harp or something and i thought it was great.

but at the moment i am listening to 'scorching desert' from FFX.

[Zeugma 440]

"Crystal Flash", by virt

A 22 minutes long Super Metroid medley with awesome guitar work and cleverly placed sound effects from the game really deserves the "Stuff of Legend" ranking.

[Kilu]

Another one of those insanely clean and polished tracks by virt. He is damn good, but sometimes he takes it a bit too far, I think. Plus, I'm not a fan of Metroid music, never really played any of the games even.

Listening to Jumping Flash 2 OST. Interesting OST to say the least.

[Yojimbo]

'Fool on the Hill' <<<<<<<The Beatles

i am currently listening to 'war of the worlds' by jeff wayne, have any of you heard it, for it is by far one of the best things in the world to listen to, i have heard it many times before and i never get bored of it.

"Final Confrontation", from The Living Daylights, by John Barry

On my way through my VGM Collections...

What a long journey... >_< Yeah, I understand you :D Back to the days where the only VGM I had was my Duke Nukem 3D MIDI rip, that was easier... :)


But keep in mind that collecting VGM is not storing albums : it's a matter of gathering music that you personally like. For each album you have, you should be able to answer this simple question : "Why do I keep that ?"

It's when you lose sight of the purpose of your collection that you lose all the pleasure of listening to it...


-currently listening to my roommate watching Gundam Seed Ep.44. Even without the pictures I have gooseflesh just by hearing and remembering what's happening in this one -

[Darkblack]

But keep in mind that collecting VGM is not storing albums : it's a matter of gathering music that you personally like.That's the reason why I'm listening to my collection. Actually, I don't play much games so that I don't know whose soundtrack is good until I have them. However, I don't think collecting VGM is only the mater of gathering music that you personally like :). I can keep a album which I don't like either, as long as I understand why I dislike it. Like, you said, I'll keep an album as long as I can answer the questions "Why do I keep that?" "What does I learn from this one?" :)

Lineage 2 Chaotic Chronicle OST by Bill Brown. Good stuff.

Listening to the traffic... (for once :) what a beautiful sunny day we have right now)

Concerning Biohazard Symphony, it's typically what Darkblack said a few posts ago : one of the few albums that I dislike and keep. It sounds like a 60's horror B-movie soundtrack. Weird and experimental spooky music :p

[Darkblack]

Man, I wonder how you disklike this album ^_^ I've got it this morning and might listen to it right now (instead I had planned to listen to Soundtrack Magna Carta but you made me curious about this horror "B-movie soundtrack" ;)

Currently listening to my keyboard typing (as I'm typing this post ^_^) and how I just like the sound of it when my hands move fast taping the keyboard ^_^

[Vidus]

Just downloaded some game music tracks and I'm listening to them. Those tracks that involve piano are simply beatiful. Can' get fed up with them. Must get more of those.:dance:

[daniel]

I suggest piano collections like FF6 and 9:)

* also important, can anyone confirm whether or not the FF6 opening FMV tune on the playstation release is an unreleased track...it will be on my to-do list if not Thanks

[Zeugma 440]

Vidus> There's more than the classic FF *.* piano collections out there !
I highly recommend Arc the lad Piano Album. It's the best piano album I've ever heard so far (melodically and technically speaking).

* listening to myself typing... no music at school :p *

Sorry yes I do tend to be unappreciative in this sense. Listening to Skull castle part 2 - megaman 3

[Darkblack]

also important, can anyone confirm whether or not the FF6 opening FMV tune on the playstation release is an unreleased track...it will be on my to-do list if not
As far as I know, yes, it is an unrealeased track. I recorded that track for myself long ago (^_^ That was a very good arrangement) but the it got clicking sounds >_< Must be my disc's bad quality

[daniel]

should have ripped the track it is XA format;)

Listening to animaniacs theme. may put all my tv themes onto server ALSO

For you that are listening I am currently

1. D***l*****g ff6 for playstation (don't put these things on server though)
2. Putting my sheet music of ff *.* piano on my server
3. same with TV themes
4. Thinking of new things that will make my server a god-server
5. Opera Carmina Burana (those of you who don't know great opera where nobuo took his lyrics for 'A one-winged angel' from. Last tune is the famous Omen theme. Periodically check my server because it is constantly updating and I know this thread is not my announcement thread before ppl get angry:)

[Kilu]

I definitely agree on the Arc the Lad Piano matter with you Zeugma. It's just so good.

Just so you know, all the arrangements in FF6 psx version are by Tsuyoshi Sekito. As far as I know anyway. So tag accordingly :p


Listening to Sentenced.

[daniel]

Just so you know, all the arrangements in FF6 psx version are by Tsuyoshi Sekito. As far as I know anyway. So tag accordingly :p


hmmm sounds very nobuo and is still very good anyways. Not really an arrangement from what i have heard.....dunno. will find out and tag properly

listening to Sky news

[Sobou]

"Dancing Mad Once Again" - Dancing Mad from FF6, remixed by Ailsean.

[Kilu]

Daniel, have you checked the opening fmv from the psx game lately. It might have something like "additional music" or whatever in the credits in it. And of course it sounds like Nobuo, because it's his original work that is mildly arranged. Tsuyoshi Sekito is not all that great when it comes to arrangements atleast. Don't know about his composing skills, haven't heard that much.

"Dancing Mad Once Again" - Dancing Mad from FF6, remixed by Ailsean.
And virt. (http://vgmix.com/song_view.php?song_id=1248) Actually, I think virt did the arrangement and Ailsean provided the guitars. I could be wrong though.

[daniel]

hmmmm I not have game which is why I d********ng other one was robbed, long story;)

But I only heard 1 additional tune on ff6 anyway and that was the opening??? anyone know of others on ff6? As I remember the opening FMV is unique....it only has a bit of terras theme included i think

[Vidus]

Some metallica. Playing St.Anger repeatedly. This isn't as good as those albums released before but Metallica is always Metallica. Even when their are not doing their best they are awesome.

[daniel]

I will also have ff6 soon haha;) But in the mean time I need help

On my server in the MISC folder you will see street fighter.mp3. Please downlaod and tell me if this tune and its entire ost was ever officially released. It will be a big help. cheers will be there by at atleast 21:00 GMT

Well I am listening to UB40 "tears from my eyes"

[jetblue]

Stumbled upon a re-mix of one of my favorite songs while Hub searching and now Im looking for every re-mix I can find of clocks,bittersweet symphony and ordinary world. And just about all of my favorite songs. There's even made re-mixes for some FF8 tunes and other RPG tunes. They sound like trance or house music. Some of these DJ's are very talented.

[Vidus]

I downloaded so much game music two days ago that it took me lot of time to listen all of the tracks.

Those downloads included ff, megaman, castlevania.. oh well you know. Maybe it's just better to say game music.

Others than game music: Metallica and some dance music because of my little brother.

[Geosgaeno]

i am currently listening to nothing but ive just found this site and im down loading off one of the servers from here, cant wait, music will soon be ringing out in my room. i think im going to enjoy this place, them servers have already given me a good impression.

I will edit later if its good or not :).

*Edit
What I have heard upto now (tracks 01-16, 17-35 to go) http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/listenmusic.gif has been very good. What has Kosuke Yamashita done before? Anyone know?

*Edit 2
Wow, its good, not the best but its good. Really like the track 'in this serenity' http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/thumbs_up.gif which I believe is the ending track of the anime http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/w00t.gif.

[Vidus]

NOW PLAYING: BT - The Force of Gravity "Emotional Technology"

Man, what a sweet album. Worth the price, yo!

"Remember the words, we use to speak
The promises made, have turned to all apologies
The weight of the storm of memories
Still you’re flying to fight the force of gravity

I remember the days, I still could breathe
Now I'm sinking beneath, the waves are crashing over me
The empty space I lay between
Is all that's left of where our love was meant to be

The force of gravity

Do you cry your eyes asleep?
Is it peace you seek ,at night when your body's weak?
Did it leave you with the scars, of a war-torn ravaged heart?
Do you cry your eyes asleep?"

[bjp4444]

finally got the ff ix ost, shuffling through various tracks from there.

Oh and has any one heard of the band "Childern of Botum" from Quebec heard them once and I can not find anything.

finally used my free download of the god of war soundtrack. pretty good stuff, although i read that all the orchestral stuff was done artifically.

does anyone want this (in reagrds to uploading it to a ftp)? i'd rather do it that way so anyone can get it when they want, instead of waiting for me to sign into aol once every six years or so.

-bjp

[jetblue]

OOO,Im about to play God of War. Can you hold on to the soundtrack till I finish playing it in case I like it?

[Kilu]

Who is the composer of the soundtrack? I'm interested in the soundtrack, eventhough I haven't played the game yet.

[bluedragonx]

I'm listening to Koda Kumi's 4th album, secret, BoA's "Best of" album, BEST OF SOUL and BoA's latest single, Do The Motion.

[tanisthalon]

Currently I am listening to Card Captor Sakura OST :).

[Geosgaeno]

Wonderwall, by Oasis.

[bjp4444]

I love that album, I wish someone wouldn't have stolen my book of CD's about 3 years ago. 200 discs, gone in an instant.

But I was also listening to wonderwall also, albeit it yesterday. Today I got some Elvis in though, burning love and suspicious minds. Two wonderful tracks.

-bjp

[Bastard Blacke]

NOW PLAYING: Orbital - Doctor Who Theme (Mixed Live)

[Zeugma 440]

"Lufia's Dream", by Faze. Wonderful remix... good to see that in VGMix now.

The main stuff is now happening on VGMix. I feel like OC is standing as a kind of museum, lacking the dynamism of the other community. Meanwhile, it still remains the well-known, frontend site for VG remixing.

[Geosgaeno]

um lemme think "nothing" i dont have the music on all i hear is the computer.

[Zeugma 440]

"Chapter XI Truth of War ~Original Score Medley for Movie Scenes~", by Taro Iwashiro, from Onimusha 2 Orchestra Album.

Eyes On Me, FF8 of course.

[Bastard Blacke]

NOW PLAYING: VNV Nation - Epicentre (FuturePerfect)

Muahahaha.. Dark Futurepop goodness

I asked myself was I content
with the world that I once cherished
did it bring me to this darkened place
to contemplate my perfect future?
I will not stand nor utter words against this tide of hate
losing sight of what and who I was again

I'm so sorry if these seething words I say
impress on you that I've become anathema of my soul...

'Always'

"Minotaur Battle": God of War OST

-bjp

[Zeugma 440]

"Memories", from The Silent Force, by Within Temptation

To me, their last album sounds way better than what they have done before.
I think it's mainly because of the symphonic BGM, and also because the male vocalists don't sing as much as before :D

[Nosce]

Climb up! And Get the Last Chance! -From F-Zero X Guitar Arranged.

NOW Endless Challenge from the same album (track changed as I was typing...http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/tophat.gif)
