The end approaches . . . Comfique Harmony - Transient Resonance What a fitting contrast to the "Unchanging Daily Life" remix! Perhaps a bit short, but makes good use of its time. Might share more from this circle later to give a better impression of what they've got. IshiNoUra (Inami &...

Feel like a Fracture Feature right now. Nothing too intense this time. : )

Just finished listening through the second album (top marks all 'round btw). Definite highlights of my collection.

I figure when most think of Halo: Combat Evolved's music, they recall the intensely dramatic main theme with it's iconic chant buildup. Reasonably so; the arrangement is an unmatched encompassing of everything the game holds tonally, and a truly legendary performance in its own right. Ironically...

Belatedly realized the F-16 song was better suited here, and as I so rarely have an opportunity to keep this thread relevant I was loath to let my oversight remain uncorrected. Cinema History - How to Start an F16

BIG FINDS! KALANCHOE RECORDS - Fantastic Drift! I strongly suspect I've heard this vocalist featured elsewhere, but it's hard enough to keep track of the circles themselves, and I don't feel like checking. Actually came across a different track from this EP initially, but further checks ended...

Occasionally I wonder about cultural association in music. Some genres and instruments, having been uniquely developed in a specific area and time, become commonly utilized to invoke thoughts thereof. Other times the association is built up by consistent usage or natural audible affinity (such...

Comedic tunes, a favorite subject amongst the family, but often too specific to be properly shared. Usually. Title too long, acronym "LJMCCS". Older style of humor with an older style of performance, which itself is an appealing novelty. There's a variety of performances available, with no...

Surprised no one's mentioned our rival forum Maidens of the Kaleidoscope; I don't use it (get the impression they're rather strict), but suppose it could be considered a reasonable alternative (nothing could be worse than the subreddit lol). Since "social" wasn't explicitly qualified, should...

Keithon - Watatuki's Spell Card ~ Divine Sea Battle I swear I wasn't looking for this, but once I saw it I somehow knew it was the final choice. Call me crazy, but something about this particular track seems to lend itself to this idea; not in theme, but in progression and arrangement. It...

Unexpectedly, the team behind the Moss games released a new entry, The Forgotten Relic, combining both Books and presumably adding some new content. To be honest, I don't actually know how much was added or changed, but Jason Graves's OST for the game featured new tracks alongside remasterings...

Sequencer's Synth - 4 Color Jazz Piece What fun! I half expected the style to change for each color, but instead it's just a generally charming tone throughout. POLTANEST - Jumbled Memories The unique tone of the original has cultivated an impressive quantity of noteworthy arrangements. Said...

There's something special about Phoenotopia: Awakening. Respective inspirations for its various elements are easy enough to discern, yet I can't think of any other game that brings them together with quite the same effect. The soundtrack is similar, in that the genre influences are nothing new...

Benji Tunez - There's A Monster In The Woods (Look Outside Remix) Obvious choice for this one; haven't had the chance yet to feature Tunez's remix work, and this was by far the most unique adaptation of the theme available anyway. I hope to do an OGM feature on Look Outside eventually, but the...

There's a lot of composers in the VGM industry. When I find a soundtrack I like, it's often from a name I've never seen before, and I've perceived that those names tend to stick with a certain company or franchise. Occasionally I'll think to look more closely into an artist's repertoire on the...

Late due to power outages; been rough out here over the weekend. Had some excellent Independence Day celebrations though. :) maritumix - Dust Dwelling Tried and true maritumix continues to be a favorite of mine. But the point of this project was to dig up artists I didn't already know; there...

Bi-yearly update complete. For the most part, it's the usual saboteurs . . . mostly just Nintendo actually. Everything's fixed for the moment though. Part of me feels guilty for not listening through the original Yakuza in favor of Kiwami, but the latter is the soundtrack I'm previously...

As things fell, I ended up with a zunish theme for this week. They're not what I'd consider exemplary, but there's reasoning for each respectively. Kisen Sagetsu - The Lonely Road of Hitachi Last time I found something from this artist, it did not cite the instrumentation the way this...

While it's usually best to avoid over-reliance on comparisons, it would be presumptuous to not acknowledge the relationship between Shovel Knight and Mina the Hollower. Jake Kaufman has a range of styles at his disposal, but it's apparent to me he has affinity for retro chiptune, and a tendency...

Low-energy emphasis this week. Touhou Gengaku Kyo - Kalanchoe Knew I'd seen that name before, but it took some reflection to remember just where. This is a different kind of "build-up," one without payout in exchange for unmatched melancholy. I don't look these sorts up much by virtue of...
