Happy New Years! Didn't miss Christmas this time around, so there's less pressure to make the first share of the year stand out, but either way I think I've found something worthy of the occasion. I almost reposted chair's remix of "Easygoing Egoist," being in line with the ongoing catalogue...

At the turn, I was here fixing links (family was too tired for celebrating, so it seemed a fair use of the time). Everything's back in order for the time being, so here's the next annual record (complete with this year's Undertale remix compendium). Is the double spacing okay, or would...

Welcome all to year's end, 2025 edition. A lot of exciting releases took place these past twelve months, and I managed to cover a few of them within the allotted time. Before I get to those, however, a brief look at those I didn't get to: I sure I'll regret not finding time for Dispatch, but...

Against my expectations, a full lineup without skipped tracks (the catch is I'm featuring UK again). Latchezar Dimitrov - Flawless Clothes Of The Celestials ~ Yellow Lily I've seen this guy quite often through this endeavor, but it never felt quite right to favor him over alternative options...

Merry Christmas y'all! This year I managed to acquire some noteworthy arrangement albums I'd had my eyes on for a while, and subsequently picked out some especially impressive tracks to share around this time. May they provide a bonus bit of euphoria as 2025 draws to a close. ShibayanRecords -...

This Christmas, I'm sharing some older songs my parents grew up with and shared with my siblings and I as we grew up. They're a bit juvenile, but there's an endearing aspect of the memories being passed down through these songs. This one is also older, but I only discovered it recently. I'd say...

I nearly managed to get through the whole month according to plan. I'd hoped to listen through the Dispatch OST once it came to streaming platforms, only to be thwarted by its exclusivity to subscription-based forms of the same (which I do not use). I still want to cover it eventually, but...

Missing Track: {U2 Akiyama - Grandiloquence) SilentBird - The Inverted Castle Lit by the Setting Sun This one is fairly recent (I reckon SilentBird will eventually cover everything if they keep up as they've been going), but I'd rank it a step above the usual emergency fodder; gimmick though it...

The OST for Octopath Traveler 0 was made available last week, and I wasted no time in procuring it in spite of complications. For those who don't know, this game is a rework (best term I can settle on for it) of Champions of the Continent, featuring much of the same content but repackaged for...

Maswaki - A Rose Blooming in the Underworld This one had decent coverage actually; I wonder why? (I actually suspect I know, and I'm a bit annoyed about it.) No matter though; this is an excellent arrangement with some creative instrumentation choices, and I'm happy to have found it. Missing...

With the renewed nomination of Supergiant Games' to several Game Awards categories, I was inclined to review and feature the soundtrack of the original Hades. My initial impressions back in 2020 weren't particularly favorable, not because the quality was in any way lacking, but simply due to my...

Been accumulating miscellaneous remixes over the past couple months, and now is as good a time as any to offload them.

The Chronicler is experiencing server errors; I'd say "serves me right for waiting," but this time of year I'm pressed for time as it is. Missing Track: {U2 Akiyama - The One Jointly Responsible} SOUND HOLIC - Ship of the Dawn There was no avoiding a big-name circle here (I only just barely...

Bit late, but 'tis the season ya know? Figured I'd cover ARC Raiders, but less due to it's unexpected popularity and more because I've been enjoying The Finals soundtrack through the year since I initially featured it. Granted Strandberg and co. seem to have had minimal involvement; rather...

Touhou Ocarina - Seeds of the Incident We're on to T15.5, and I expect trouble turning up anything for most of it, but hopefully there'll still be some worthwhile discoveries. This is not an example of that, but it's the most unique thing I found for the track; most 'remixes' were just...

I've already shared all my Thankgiving music over the years, but I didn't want to leave the day without commemoration of some sort, so I've dug up sometimes vaguely related in an autumn-themed instrumental. Happy Thanksgiving!

Finishing off the Animal Crossing series with its most recent installment, New Horizons. Totaka remains the sound director for the franchise, though I continue to experience difficulty in determining the specific extent of his involvement in composition. Additional names attached to the OST are...

JerryStuffRo - Secret Deity Matara ~ Hidden Star in All Seasons (Chiptune Rock Cover) This artist usually specializes in Zunish arrangements under the Paradise of Boundaries circle, so this stood out to me as a unique find in spite of the familiar name. Additionally, I wasn't finding very many...

Jumping forward to Animal Crossing: New Leaf, where Totaka is this time joined by Manaka Kataoka and Atsuku Asahi. Compared to Wild World, the arrangements seem much cleaner to me, and composition direction seems more dynamic overall. Hourly themes feel somehow more properly related to the time...

fellism - Into Backdoor (UDoALG/Ghost Mix) & Kisen Sagetsu - Into Backdoor in the style of Kouryuudou I couldn't decide between these two; they both technically accomplish the same thing, just with slightly different destinations in mind, and both do an excellent job accomplishing it. The...
